Highview Parking Claim Form

[Mattuhey]

First post on the forum. I have read the newbie thread.

I have been issued a claim form (N1) by the above. I am aware I cannot ignore it at this point.

It is from February 2016. I do wonder whether there is a time limit on such things or not?

As for defence, it is so long ago it is difficult to recall, but essentially at a Gala Bingo car park. They are requesting a total of circa £300 for this one charge.

Particulars of Claim are as follows:

1) The Defendent is indebted to the Claimant for a Parking Charge issues to vehicle **** *** at aforementioned place.

2) The PCN details are *******

3) The vehicle was parked in breach of the Terms on Cs signs (the contract) thus incurring the PCN.

4) The driver agreed to pay within 28 days (I did not) D is liable as the driver or keeper. Despite requests, the PCN is outstanding. The contract entitles C to damages.

AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS circa £160 with annual interest of 8% per year plus Costs and court fees.

I have around 7 days left to respond.

Any advice would be welcomed.

Many thanks

Matt

You acknowledge the claim online using the details and password on the form on day 5 or shortly afterward. Nothing in the defence. This gives you 33 days from the issue date to get your defence to the court.

Edit so that the identity of the driver cannot be inferred

They have 6 years to bring a claim.

If you don't have the original Notice to Keeper then

SAR to Highview
CPR 31.14 request to the solicitors for the PCN and the sign that allegedly created the contract.

You start preparing a defence

Sorry but you’ll need to breakdown what those abbreviations mean and how I go about implementing them please. SAR and CPR 31.14?

With respect to the defence, it is very difficult given how long ago it was. As far as I recall I’ve only been to bingo once in my life and I wasn’t driving, but obviously that’s memory and not a solid lawful point.

many thanks

Also to add, they have sent this correspondence to a new address that I moved into in November 2019, and also had a new car since March 2018. So have they breached any law? I’d like to know how to build my defence

Look to the shortcuts panel on the page, probably to the right

Could I have a little more help with this please?
