  • County Court Claim for an unpaid PCN

    Hi Guys,

    I need some advice. I have a county court claim for an unpaid PCN and i want to fight it as i think its unfair and disgusting how they prey on people. I have 6 days to respond but i'm not sure where to start.

    The particulars of the claim are:

    The Driver of the vehicle with registration ****** parked in breach of the terms of parking stipulated on the signage (the contract) at ........on 17/03/2018 thus incurring the parking charge (PCN). The driver of the vehicle agreed to pay the PCN within 28 days of issue yet failed to do so. The claimant claims the unpaid PCN from the defendant as the driver/keeper of the vehicle. Despite the demands being made, the defendant has failed to settle their outstanding liability. The claimant claims £100 for the PCN, £60 contractual costs pursuant to the contract and the PCN terms and conditions, together with the statutory interest of £10.99 pursuant to the s69 of the county courts act 1984 at 8.00% per annum, continuing at £0.04 per day.

    any help will be much appreciated.

    best regards,
    Dan.

    So acknowledge the claim using the details and password on the form. Nothing in the defence. This gives you 33 days from the date of issue to get you defence to the court.

    If you've got the PCN then post it up, redacted, but leave the dates.

    SAR to the parking company requesting all the information they have about you

    From the solicitor request all the documents that they intend to use in the case, within 7 days as they must have them to hand to prepare the claim

        Dan

              Can you also post up a pic of the actual car park sign?

              That forms the basis of the contract between the parking co & the driver.

                      I wonder how you would go about seeking further advice from CPM ? Write to their PO Box number and wait for a reply before parking ?

                      Are they allowed to charge £1.50 card processing fees ?
                      and didn't 0845 numbers die some time ago ? ( their website says the number is 0345 now anyway )

                          Ok, imho the signs are rubbish......unfortunately it's not my opinion that counts, it's the judge's.

                          Have you sent the SAR?

                          But don't miss the deadline for filing your defence.....you can just say (among other stuff) that you've sent a SAR & you're awaiting a response.
