Hi,
I have been directed over here from the forum at legal beagles for some advice on how to begin preparing a defence. I have received a claim form from DBS Legal Ltd on behalf of Northern Parking Services for the sum of £850.25. The particulars of the claim are: 1. The Claimant claims a debt in the sum of £640 for unpaid parking charges incurred by the defendant (registered keeper/driver) for breaching the terms and conditions of parking on private land which is either owned or operated by the claimant, together with debt recovery costs incurred. 2. Despite several reminders and requests the defendant has failed to pay sums due. 3. The claimant claims court fees and costs. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the county courts act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from 24/06/17 to 17/01/19 on £640.00 and also interest at the same rate up to the day of judgement or earlier payment at a daily rate of £0.14. Around 2 years ago the driver left my car parked outside of a shop for 4 days and received a ticket for each of those 4 days totalling £400 so I am presuming it is linked to this. Following advice the tickets were ignored and around a month later I had the car SORN and was out of the country for the next year. This is the first correspondence I have received with regards to the parking tickets other than the initial tickets themselves. I have responded saying I intend to defend all of this claim and have began to draft SAR to send to NPS and CPR31.14 request to send to the solicitors. I'm also going to go to where the car was parked tomorrow to take pictures of any signs there may be but until then is there anything else I can be doing to prepare a defence? Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere and thanks in advance for any advice offered. |
