Hi, not sure if this thread is still active, but i would appreciate some advice on a similar matter already discussed. I am also being chased by Wright Hassall for payment of two PCNs and an additional £196 per PCN, both were challenged and both challenges failed (unfairly in my opinion, but i guess thats another matter). I saw the template pasted into this thread 19th Jan 17 @ 01:39am. I thought this matched my circumstances quite well, so took a chance and emailed it to Wright Hassall, they have responded with the below. My question is, is there a response i can send them to get them to back off? if not I've heard that if this does actually go to court then the most i'll have to pay is the two PCN amounts (£100 each), £50 court fees and £35 solicitors fees. is this true? if so it will be cheaper for me to go to court, pay those costs rather than the PCNs and two lots of £196.

In response to your comments, please see below:
1. We are pursuing you for this PCN as the registered keeper of the vehicle in question. If you are advising you were not the driver at the time the PCN was issued, you had the opportunity to inform the car park operator of the driver details when you first received the notice.

2. The PCN has been issued for breaching the parking terms & conditions being prominently displayed by signs around the car park. Our clients are members of British Parking Association (BPA), their signage is ample, clear and in line with the BPA Code of Practice to ensure the motorist is bound by them when they enter and remain at the site. Any further information about the signage, the parking terms and conditions, and or the signage plan can be obtained by visiting the parking site in question in person.
3. At this stage of the process, the PCN is not being pursued under Railway Bylaws.

Nevertheless, this matter is now in recovery stage and your client has surpassed the time to appeal this matter. We can, therefore, confirm this PCN stands and in order to close the matter in settlement of your liability, the outstanding balance of £392.00 needs to be paid in full.
