I am writing this post on behalf of my ex-girlfriend who has just received a county court claim form for parking illegally in a housing estate.

She was picking up the children of her friend from school, but the nearby roads were congested so she parked in the nearest car park available with no clear signs that parking was prohibited there.

She was heavily pregnant at the time, and sufferring a nervous breakdown, largely due to her pregnancy and having to support her mother who suffers with bi-polar disorder.

She is the type of person who puts her own problems to the side to help others even when she is suffering herself, hence her offering to pick up the kids of her friend when under huge pressure herself.

She has since given birth and been single handedly organising her mother's affairs such as benefits, treatment etc...and due to sheer overload had ignored any letters coming through her door.

She now has a claim form from the county court asking for £242.58.

She admits her parking infringement but states at the time she had no idea it was occuring due to poor signage, she stopped at an innocuous looking street and even when she returned and saw the parking attendant snooping around her car, she was told it was 'ok' and assured nothing further would happen.

She is under immense stress since the birth of her daughter and still struggling to sort out her mum's affairs, then this stinking letter comes through the door asking for £242.58. All for stopping for a few minutes to pick up her friend's kids.

Please can someone advise what to do?

She is in no fit state to deal with this so I offered to do it for her as I have an account here already.

If need be I will pay the fine for her but neither of us can afford £242.58. Could it be set back to the original fine due to exceptional circumstances? Or are there any grounds to get it quashed due to plain decency given her circumstances? All her problems are provably true and I am gutted for her, she does so much for others but keeps getting kicked in the teeth. This could not have come at a worse time.

Thank you and thanks for putting up with my lack of knowledge on the subject!

We didn't bother with those in the end, felt too complicated and some people said not to bother. Just chuffed it's over, the hearing was via telephone conference so only costs were my postage, a jourey to Watford to deliver the docs and printer ink which was not too much in the scheme of things.

I tried to PM you but your inbox is full, would like to send a token of gratitude.

Ah ok didn't realise that, thanks. If there is ever a next time (which I hope there isn't), I will claim for that now I am a parking case veteran. biggrin.gif

Very kind of you, will drop something towards the site as it definitely needs to keep going.
