PCN Now court papers .

No , its notice to keeper .
£100 fine plus interest at 8% plus court costs . That must have been on the responce form i sent back to the court as i cant find that information now .
Yes i knew £20 wouldn't be accepted , i just wanted to have some fun , i upped it to £25 but said that's pushing it .

I'm sending off my defence today as contract dispute . Sign at a busy junction and bays not wide enough .
If it goes to court i lose but they are also out of pocket by having to go to court .
Can they then pursue me for those court costs ? Maybe in a new claim ?

In the small claims court they are not allowed to claim legal costs, apart from that £50

I now have a " Notice of proposed allocation to the small claims track "

The sign offers the parking and that is the contract offer. You accept by performance, ie parking. Look at the sign, the dark blue bit at the bottom. It says you agree to pay £100 if you breach any of the terms and conditions.

The don't know the owner, they only know the registered keeper from asking the DVLA for the details. Under schedule 4 of THe Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 they can claim from the keeper if they don't know the identity of the driver.

I hate to say it but I don't think you have a good case so I would suggest that you contact VCS and make them an offer of say £80 to go away. You can remind them that if it does go to court then they will make a loss.

I understand that i will lose if we go to court BUT a few years ago this was know as a scam , conning people out of money . At some point the law was changed and now this scam in the eyes of the law is legal . That doesn't stop it being a scam , conning people out of money .
Morally if i offer them money then they have scammed me out of what ever they can get . If we go to court they may well get my money but it will not cover their costs so although i wont see their money neither will they .
Morally i win .
