Hi,
Back in October 2017, the following vehicle was parked in a restricted area of a residential development for about half an hour to accept a delivery of beds. Note that the registered keeper owns a flat in the development and have a secure underground parking. The driver needed to be close to the entrance to help with the unloading of bulky items. The parking is managed by Parking Control Management. The driver has not seen a parking warden and did not get a PCN on the windscreen. Later on, a PCN was sent by post with pictures that seem to have been taken from far away from a CCTV? The PCN is for £100 and would go up to £160 after 28 days. The PCN is issued to the registered keeper of the vehicle. I have ignored all correspondence regarding this until I received a County Court Claim Form dated 10/08/18. I have acknowledged the claim this morning (13/08) and I am planning to post here my draft defence for some advice. In addition to the £160, the claim adds £50 legal fees, £25 court fees and approx £8.95 interest. I have attached the original ticket, the claim form, some pictures from the ticket and google maps. I will try and take a closer picture of the signage and post it here. I am thinking to start with the following items: 1. The Claimant has no standing to bring a case. 2. The signage is not adequate and does not offer a contract with the motorist. 3. Falsified solicitor costs 4. Claimant failed to meet Notice to Keeper obligations 5. Not sure if I can include : "Claim not correctly filed under The Practice Direction" As I have thrown away all correspondence, I was planning on asking them to send a copy of all correspondence by email. Any ideas would be welcome, I will now do more research on previous cases to finish my draft Thanks This post has been edited by da_tnt: Mon, 13 Aug 2018 - 19:05 |
