Hello, and thank you in advance for the support. I’ve received a County Court Claim dated 17/12/25. I’ve submitted the Acknowledgment of Service within the required timeframe, which gives me 33 days from the issue date—meaning my defence is due by 19 January (I believe). I’ve dealt with a similar claim in the past and…

hi, I was wondering if I could get some help with this please, as I'm not sure if an appeal is possible. The driver took me to hospital due to an emergency and even though there were people without disabled badges in disabled bays, it wasn't possible to get anyone to move. I'd collapsed once and then did again in the…

I parked there on the 6th July 1700-2300. For some reason I thought I had up till 0430 on the following day to pay. Apparently I only had till midnight. I've already appealed and had it rejected. Is there any chance of winning in court due to ambiguity of the sign? Just found something on internet that says daily charging…

Hi, thanks for help in advance. @Coupon-mad and others I am at the stage of building my defence after completing acknowledgement of service via MCOL. Here is the POC… Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yet again the system failed to show my entry time so I had to guess, and yet again the sun was shining on the screen so it was hard to read. I remember that I had intended to pay for 3 hours to be on the safe side but checking my parking ticket I only paid for two - I know that's not going to matter to them but I am miffed…

Hello, My mum received the attached parking charge from BP petrol station near Stansted Airport. Reason for charge notice: out of bay At first she thought the reason was that she was parked there for too long because she was waiting to pick me up from the airport and I got a bit delayed so she ended up staying there just…

Apologies if I should not have started a new thread, but I have searched and cannot find anything similar, I was the driver and the fee is payable. I've had an appeal to Euro Car Parks rejected because they cannot tie up my payment with the registration of my car, in spite of sending them a copy of the bank statement…
