No, the intention of the court is to ensure that justice is done and the right to legal advice/representation is an important aspect of it.

A DS is likely to advise you how to proceed and will err on the side of what is right for you, more so than either the prosecutor or Clerk to the Court.

Even if you plead guilty, an advocate can inform the  court of the depth of your remorse far better than you can.

I think that the court would adjourn in any case so that they can have the benefit of reports if they are minded to impose Community Service Order or even custody (suspended of not).

They would also need details of financial state if considering a fine

Which is why I said that you should request an adjournment until such time as you have been able to see the DS in my previous post.

That legal advisor is there to explain the law to the magistrates, He/she will not assist you in mitigation.

In that case request an adjournment until one is available. It is a tenet of English law that a defendant is entitled to legal advice before  a case is heard and a duty solicitor MUST be available if the defendant has no means of having their own legal representative.

The prosecutor is being disingenuous in saying that as you are pleading guilty, that a DS is not necessary. You are entitled to the best possible mitigation and the DS can advise on that and could present it in such a way as best serve you.

I am having difficulty reading the PCN, as it is lacking contrast. Could you post the exact location so that we can find it on google maps?

Nicky Boy, You say subtle, I would say duplicitous.

For the majority of customers, the image of the instruments in the pack would be simply to show the odometer reading  in confirmation of the advertised mileage. The fact that the Rev counter is showing '0' would simply mean that the ignition was on, but the engine had not been started.

It is disingenuous of them to imply otherwise.

To answer the other part of your question, no, a letter of claim or letter before claim, does not need to come from a solicitor. Any claimant can issue one in their own right.

It is an excellent document but to be nit-picking, you might like to change  November 25th 2021 - I was served court papers at an address I was no longer living at to simply        court papers were served at an address etc as they were not actually served on you

Also in point 6  you have missed out 'when' in the second sentence. Not only was I no longer at the address              the claim forms were issued,

It is good that you came to the forum so quickly. It is a self help site contributed to by volunteer members, so it is important that you view similar private parking threads here so as to familiarise yourself with how these fleecers work and avoid making simple mistakes when dealing them. It also helps avoid asking question which have been asked myriad times before.

Although the advice at this stage is to ignore their demands, please keep safe all of the paperwork that you receive as unfortunately they do have 6 years to institute a County Court claim. Alongside ignoring their demands, also never admit to who was driving, or provide an email address to them. (free means of harassing you)

I think that the sentence  I will first be obtaining an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). should actually be  I will first be seeking an unreasonable etc as actually obtaining is subject to the will of the Judge and tells the fleecer that you understand the procedure.

The link is in post 14. not 15! I think there may have been some tidying up which has altered post numbers.

Surely the lead from your charger will do? The end that fits into the charger plug is a USB plug.

In some circumstances a court not local to you may be preferred, such as if you are working away from home all week, or you have a disability and  your local court has not yet entered the 21st century etc.

Dear BankFodder, I think you are misunderstanding what the OP is saying. The 'friend ' to which they refer, I imagine is the mechanic who examined the vehicle, so no need for them to post the story on their own thread. The vehicle was purchased by the OP's partner.

I am interested to know by whom it has been valued at £14.900?

A brief description of make, model and year would also help.

Correction Bazooka Boo, you are correct that PPC's cannot issue a Fine, but neither police, nor local authority can issue a fine either. It is only a Criminal Court that can. The Police can issue Fixed Penalty Notices and local authorities Penalty Charge Notices. These do have the force of law as failure to pay can result in court appearance.

Perhaps the more knowledgeable of you can advise on the point in the Agreement that gives Amtrac  the right/obligation to  'sue for trespass 'etc (3 c) rather than for breach of contract?

Dave, I think you mean 'Claimant' in the new 5 above 

There is little point asking questions if, when given a direction such as that by FTMDave above, you decide that instead of reading a thread from post #39, you read from #63 and think that it will give you answers.

This Forum is self help, so it is incumbent on you to do just that .

May I firstly offer my condolences on your recent loss.

Whilst Andyorch is correct in essence, I  would suggest that you contact a local insurance agent (preferably face to face)  as they will have a wider range of Insurers able to help in this instance than online comparison sites who deal mainly with straightforward cases. If your partner was with the same company for several years, you could approach them with a view to an enhanced initial discount as they will have a record of your history as named driver (one assumes that this good?)

In no post have you stated whether or not you recognise the VIN to which these orders refer. Also it would help if you could confirm if you were/were not in the UK in March 2021 when these alleged contraventions occurred?

Congratulations on the birth of your son, making it a Happy New Year?
