Parking Notice

[Sammydev]

Hi

I'm new to this so forgive me if I get it wrong
I have a problem that I am hoping someone will be able to offer advise on.
My son (who lives at home) received a parking fine quite some months ago. It was for a local hotel car park, he had gone to the car park to drop off a phone charger for a friend who was staying there, he stayed in his car until his friend came to collect the charger, no longer than 15-20 minutes. The letters we received appeared dubious and we did a bit of checking and decided that it was one of these companies that would try to impose the fine but would give up if they were ignored. They kept sending letters, then passed to a debt collection agency and now we have received a county court letter.

Letter to solicitor requiring copies by return, in any case within 7 days, of all documents that they intend to use in court in order to narrow the issues between you, as expected by the courts.

If you still have the original NTK then post up a redacted copy so people can look at it.
