Hi: Private parking Letter Before Action help

Options
Hi

Right well as stated received a letter before action after ignoring all correspondence.

I don't dispute their claim merely the costs requested. Their system does not allow me to pay for what I have used.

So taking the advice on here have written a response letter.

Advice on what to add or remove etc much appreciated..

Hi

I am writing in reference to the recent letter you sent me. Reference Number

I note the letter you have sent me fails to explain how you have calculated your claim or losses or what documents you plan to rely on to base your claim.

I would therefore like to request some information from yourselves.
1: The name and address of the person company or legal entity by whom the claimant were instructed to manage the car park.

2: The names of the landowners on which the car park is situated if different to 1.

3: evidence establishing both the freehold ownership of the land and who holds any relevant leasehold interests (e.g. copies of entries at the Land Registry, copies of any unregistered leases, etc.);

4: a copy of the contract by which the claimant were instructed to manage the car park as clauses within this contract will form a material section of the defence, especially in regards to payments made to your client

5: a copy of the contract that the driver is alleged to have agreed to, including indications of which terms the claimant considers “core” and reasons therefore

6: an explanation on what the sum being claimed is based on (e.g. breach of contract, contractual sum, trespass)

7: a full detailed breakdown of the actual losses allegedly incurred (if any) caused to your principle customer or landowner due to the alleged parking incident.

8: a full detailed breakdown of the actual costs or alleged losses caused to your own company due to the alleged parking incident.

9: the documents on which the claimant intends to rely on (which, were required to have been included in your original Letter Before Action)

10: details of the signage at the location, specifically showing the locations of the signage and their wording at the time of the alleged parking infringement

11: A full VAT invoice for the alleged parking charge

I demand a full and proper response to the above points, together with the requested documents, within 14 days, and do not expect a generic, copy and pasted reply which fails to address the points.

Alternatively, you may simply cancel the parking charge.

    Why not ask for this to be moved to the parking forum as you will get more response there.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
