Hi,
I would appreciate some advise/assistance on the below please Thanks. Some images could not be uploaded due to size.
Situation is the driver has 3 outstanding PCN 2 at debt collection stage with DCBL (from the TV show 'Can't pay take it away' ) and one still within the 14 days appeal for reduce amount stage.
The driver parked in the usual car park but on 3 occasions was running late and forgot to call to buy a parking ticket. The car is registered to the driver's father so all the parking notices and debt collection letters are in his name. The driver has not responded back to any of the letters tickets at all.
The driver wanted advice on possible defences.
Driver has been parking in this car park for about a year but unfortunately was running late and genuinely forgot to pay. It is a car park where only pay by phone/online is aceppted.
The car park is land of a broken building. There are two car parks on the same land separated by a broken wall in the middle. Both car parks use the same location code when registering car reg to buy a ticket. Signs in both car park state 'pay and display' but there is on one 'Pay and display' ticket machine which is out of order with a small sticker from Parkonomy giving instructions of how to pay on the phone/online if you don't have coins.
The driver fears that as all the letters are in the fathers name and he has not responded back at all due to online comments Including giving the driver real name, but if this did go to court it would be the father/registered keeper going as its in his name? Could the driver give correct name before going court or could the driver turn up as he is the driver?
The defense was going to be around the sign boards not being clear and some partially hidden. Also with the latest ticket received when the car was parked in the smaller car park where there is no 'pay and display machine' but signs saying pay and display and a little sign on The back wall which is a little covered by leaves stating 'pay by phone only' (image uploaded)
What are your thoughts? is the driver putting the father at high risk of being in court by not owning up?
I appreciate your comments and assistance.
