Hello,
I have recently received a letter from BW Legal representing their client Premier Park Ltd stating I owe a significant sum for 10 outstanding PCNs
I sent off my SAR and these PCNs date from Jan 2014 to August 2014.
This covers the time period when I rented a flat with a private car park.
2 of the PCNs relate to parking without a permit. I did receive a parking permit from the letting agent, but on 2 occasions did not have it displayed in my car. I have a copy of the lease and tennancy agreement and there is nothing contained in those documents that state a parking permit is required, so I had an unfettered right to park there.
8 of the PCNs relate to parking in one of the disabled bays in the private car park. To give some context, the parking was unallocated and operated on a first come first served basis. On some occasions when I arrived back from work there were no spaces available so parked in the disabled bay overnight. There were no disabled people living at the apartment complex at the time and recieved no complaints.
I'm particularly concerned about trying to defend parking in a disabled spot, so not hopeful of success here and if that is indeed even defensible? From the photos I received all bay markings are clear.
I also need to request a photo of the parking signage as it's too small to read.
I'd be grateful in your opinions and expertise here, especially the disable bay issue and what my next move should be?
Thanks in advance
