PPS Ltd Battle! Help Needed!
Hi All,
I posted on here a little while ago about my battle with Premier Parking Solutions.
I constructed a well written letter last month and sent it to them.
I had a reply on 8th August.. I will now explain the story...
1. Driver paid for over 48 hours worth of parking on the weekend in question and at no point was there a PCN left on the car.
2. In April, I was sent a Notice to Keeper through the post. This was the first correspondence I had had from them, as there was no PCN attached to the windscreen or window or anywhere on the car for that matter.. as parking costs were covered throughout the entire weekend
I was then sent another letter a few weeks to a month or so later, I ignored this.
I then received a 'Notice Before Action', so decided to take action myself.
3. I constructed a letter with the assistance from you lovely people on Legal Beagles and sent it off to them. Naming myself as only the keeper etc. - It was air tight and well written. I made them aware of the fact that no PCN was attached to the windscreen and stated everything that I needed to as instructed by you guys, to get them off my back.
4. On 8th August, I received a letter from them, yesterday, having returned from 2 weeks abroad, I read said letter, thinking it would be them leaving me alone but, alas, it was not.. they sent me 2x images of my car with a PCN attached to the drivers window. I therefore have reason to believe that the warden was 'ghost ticketing' as this was never seen on my windscreen throughout the entire weekend. They are demanding I pay, saying that if the driver does not settle the PCN that the keeper 'may' become liable and again are threatening with court action saying that 'court action will ensue'.
If anyone could help me in this situation it would be great. I refuse to pay the b@st@rds as the driver had paid for parking there the entire weekend and there were no contraventions occurring.
Before anyone asks.. a couple of points: It was cash only, no card allowed so there is no paper trail for tickets and the tickets were not kept as the driver received no PCN and therefore didn't feel the need to keep them as evidence.
My 2 choices I believe are.. write another well constructed letter in my defence so I have my own paper trail.. or... ignore it and hope they do not take me to court.
But I'm worried about being taken to county court. Not that I believe I'm in the wrong, because I know I'm not.. I just don't want the hassle of being taken to court and I refuse to give these scam artists over £100 of my hard earned money whilst trying to save for a damn mortgage.
I looked on the BMPA insight for Premier Parking Solutions and according to them, their court actions are so low in comparison to the amount of tickets they write. But, I believe I'd be that 'unlucky person'.
Many many many thanks in advance.
A very frustrated individual.
