Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help with this, I think I'm on the right track with ignoring it but basically want a second opinion as I'm tempted to write and defend it.

I work on a Business estate with several other companies and the landlord charges xx pounds for each company to have a number of parking spaces reserved and sends a private firm round to police it.

Everyone is issued with a permit which is meant to be displayed in the windscreen which mine is at all times.

A couple of months ago, unknown to me as I wasn't in the previous week, the landlord suspended a couple of parking spaces for my firm while some building work went on but neglected to cover up those spaces, block them off or in any way indicated they were not in use so I parked in one of them.

I came out of work to find a ticket on the car from Combined Parking Solutions (or CPS), I looked on the net and found advice saying ignore, don't respond, they'll go away so I ignored it.

3 months later I've just received a letter in the post saying I didn't display a valid CPS permit (these are not cps permits but permits marked with our company's name and it was in the car) and I need to pay £85 forthwith or I will be taken to court.

I'm tempted to defend as valid permit in car, parked in appropriate space therefore ticket issued incorrectly but am I best to ignore? I've heard that this firm are taking a number of people on the estate to court although I don't know any of them personally and they've popped up on a couple of other forums throwing abuse.

Are they likely to listen to me if I defend?

Here is the 2 page letter I received

Since even their own argument, that you agreed to pay pay seeing the signs, will not work here, ignore and if Perky wants to go to court then defend.

Thanks Zamzara, I do know they'll be whistling out their rear-ends but wasn't sure if I should write and try and nip in the bud now

It's a templated letter. Simply ignore and let them waste £25 on a court fee if they can't be bothered keeping records of what they are invoicing for.
