Morning all, I currently have 2 county court claims against me in relation to two parking tickets issued by a PPC. I have already submitted my acknowledgement of both claims and submitted my defences.
The history of this is... I've lived on my estate since 2012 as part of a Shared Ownership scheme. In my Lease which was signed upon purchase, is no mention of parking enforcing rules being implemented on the premises. In fact I remember the estate agent mentioning no such regulations had been put in place. In January 2017, Parking and Property Management were charged with policing of parking on the estate. All residents were issued with permits and subsequently had to use the spaces marked out by PPM, labelled VP (Visitors Parking) and U (Unreserved). I received two tickets on two separate occasions for not displaying a valid permit.
As registered keeper of the vehicle they have come to me for payment, not knowing who was the driver the vehicle. On there sign they state 'Enforcement action may incur additional costs that will be added.to the value of the parking charge for which the driver will be liable' At no time have I confirmed who was driving so this is purely based on the assumption that the registered keeper WAS the driver.
The PoC's I've received are very vague and only mention the defendant had breached the contractual terms of parking on the land at 'xxxxxxxx'. The defendant was driving the vehicle and/or is the keeper if the vehicle. I confirm I am indeed the registered keeper but not driver at the time of ticketing.
I am now at the stage of needing to supply a witness statement and any other documentation. I am unsure what type of defence bundle I should put together.
Advise appreciated and thanks in advance
