PCN

[des8]

So it is a PARKING CHARGE NOTICE not a PENALTY CHARGE NOTICE
A civil matter and in court you dispute the charge, but not the harassment which is a separate matter.
You may have grounds to initiate a separate claim against them under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 , but the bar is quite high.
Their actions are possibly also an offence under sec 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970

Ok thankyou didn’t want to come stupid , have i got a claim against for harassment also could you tell why they issued to take me to court but now ive got these idiots hounding me ?

[Mav68]

Surely the latter seems strange and doesn’t seem write , i never said i would never pay the original £60 but not the £160 plus cost because they never wrote to me about the iutcome if my appeal the only letter i got was 4 months saying it’s now £160 they upped the pcn and added £60 cost totally unjust because i was never given the option to pay the original £60 as per there terms and conditions.

PCN is an acronym used for both Penalty Charge Notice & Parking Charge Notice. (Civil law.)
If actioned via Nothampton CCBC, it is the latter.

If you are intent on using harassment, imho you should do so via a counterclaim, though I tend to agree with des8
I doubt whether their actions would reach the bar necessary for it to be considered a 'course of unlawful conduct', but that would be a matter for the court to decide.

I'm not sure whether you answered previously, so.....have you at any time (in any communications, appeals etc ) positively ID'd or implied who was driving/parking at the relevant time?

[Mav68]

There was only 2 options in the pcn form so yes i said it was my car but applead in the grounds i worked for the railway but never found out the conclusion of the appeal until4 months later, to which i should have been given the option to pay the reduced fee of £60 still as per their terms but they upped it to £160 when i phoned to post the £60 they refused to take it quoting it’s been 4 months to which i replied that’s not my fault that you never informed me of the out come if the appeal till 4 months later .

[ostell]

Can you answer the question asked: did you identify the driver.

[Mav68]

Yes i did ive already said !!!!

[Mav68]

Also it’s registered to me so how can i not say i wasn’t because no one else is insured to drive it

[ostell]

Yes it is registered to you but that doesn't say you were the driver. I, and a lot of other people, could drive on my own insurance.

[charitynjw]

There is a particular reason why whether or not the driver has been ID'd is important (sometimes crucial.)
It also would colour any advice or opinion given.

[Mav68]

Ive had a date for mediation now so going forward how do i say im not willing to pay rhe £160 without coming off sounding awkward? and that im only pay the original £60 which i was not able before due to there incompetence in not letting me know the out come about the appeal i made until 4 months later , and the only letter i recieved was a demand for £160 ?

[charitynjw]

It clearly states in the parking firms letter back in september 2018 that uts a pcn.

If this is the first postal PCN, could you post up a pic? (Front & rear, redact personal identifiers, leave all times & dates visible.)
Also pics of the site signs.

If you want to negotiate, do so from a position of strength; defects in the above might give you an edge.

[Mav68]

So your saying because they never wrote to me after my appeal they can do what they want , as i wrote on here before i should have been given the option to pay the reduced amount if the appeal was thrown out but i never was they sent me s lletter 4 months later demanding £160
