Civil parking fine - Smart Parking managed by CST Law
I am a severely disabled female and entered a car park above a Wilkos store 4 years ago. My daughter was with me as I was in my wheelchair and put my blue badge on the dash. By the way, all Smart Parking machines for anyone else parking had been dismantled and no one could obtain tickets anyway!
I have 3 hrs parking on my blue badge anyway.
4 years later, I receive a parking charge from smart parking.
I wrote explaining my circumstances twice. Both times they ignored my letters.
I then get a Northampton County court letter. I wrote again. Once aga, no reply!
I then get a letter demanding money, so called fine for over £300 saying charges had been added by CST Law! Plus telling me it had already gone through court.
I wrote again to CST Law telling them all of the above and I'm Disabled and this is a true case if Disability Discrimination and ignoring my letters, plus giving me absolutely no chance to appeal.
They've now registered a CCJ against me and CST law have written back demanding the money and stating that everything I have said is void, as far as their client concerned and furthermore, its not a Disability Discrimination case! I even sent a photocopy of my blue badge twice.
I am a vulnerable female living alone and this has now caused me grave distress and affected my mental health.
I'm retired and can hardly afford to luve as it is on the small income I receive and my rent etc increased.
Please can someone help me or advise me of what my legal rights are, if any.
Also, I'm living in fear now that they will send bailiffs. Its scary and I'm frightened every day now.
If they demand I pay, what is the smallest amount per month can I propose as it will cause me financial hardship and criseis?
