Hallo
Just wanted to say thank you for some very positive and helpful advice on here. I found this site too late for the initial PCN appeal which I did for a friend but cribbed lots of info from various recent posts particularily re Chase Farm Hospital PCNs,,
Being short of time when my friend gave me the POPLA I didn't post for help, but tried to follow lots of the advice given to others, so really just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you.

At the risk of going over old ground with so many threads on the subject I recently received a letter titled "Notice of Intention to advise client to issue summons" from a debt collection company called TNC Group. Their client was Everything Parking. They had details of my car including make and registration and were threatening legal proceedings unless I paid £100 notice payment plus £79 admin charge. Given there was no details of where any potential parking contravention had taken place and the fact I have never been issued a parking ticket I assumed it was a scam but I called the Glaswegian number up anyway just to test the water. I provided my name and postcode and was told they had nothing on record. I then stated that didn't surprise me as I had assumed it was a scam and the phone was immediately slammed down on me. So it looks like they are getting ownership details from the DVLA and trying their luck. Be warned.

And I'm going over very old ground by reminding you that you clearly agreed to not spam this forum or hijack threads!

Hi I have been served with a court claim fine like many others I ignored the letters stupidly!
I have done my acknowledgement, I would appreciate any advice or extra information that can be added to this, including alterations. I have taken my personal information out for protection reasons. Thankyou in advance!

IN THE COUNTY COURT Claim No.: *NUMBER*

Between 1
CIVIL ENFORCEMENT LTD
(Claimant)
-and-
*MY NAME*
(Defendant)
___________________________________________________________________________
DEFENCE STATEMENT
___________________________________________________________________________

I assert that I am not liable to the Claimant for the sum claimed, or any amount at all, for the
following reasons:

1. I am the registered keeper of the vehicle in question. The Claim relates to an alleged
debt arising from my vehicle being parked on Alexandra Park, Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent.

2. The car park in question is one which I am completely familiar with as I work on the retail park which the incident happened. The Claimant is aware of this from the contact my employer has made with them via phone and post. The Claimant knew from the outset that *REG* is my vehicle because they keep stating my address as follows: *NAME & ADDRESS*

3. Due to the 4 month time period in which the ticket was initially issued and it being received in the post I am unable to name the driver of the vehicle on the date the ticket was issued.

4. Due to the claimant bringing a claim towards myself *name*, they have failed to comply with the provisions of POFA 2012, schedule 4, which states that they are able to hold anybody other than the driver liable for the charges.

5. The attempts of communication from my employer to state that the vehicle is owned by a staff member who works on the retail park, have been ignored. There is proof of delivery and that the letter was signed for by Regus. This suggests that the company are not willing to co-operate. This shows a breach of contract as they state in their letters that you can claim against said charges.

6. My employer has been in touch with the landlord of the car park to get a quantity of registration numbers added to the “white list” which exempts them from receiving fines. Due to the lack of parking for staff members my registration plate was added to this list on “22/11/2016” after various attempts of communication regarding parking issues.

7. When entering the car park it has a large sign which stats “3 hours free parking” with no terms and conditions. There are signs posted around the car park, however due to the small writing it makes them rather hard to read especially when sat in your car.

I believe the above information to be true.

Did you read posts #59, 51 and 57 on this page alone? What about posts #21, 22, 24, 26, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 38 and 40 on the page before? Perhaps you didn't!

Im sorry but there is absolutely no need for you to be so rude... the post sent me straight to the bottom of the page so i posted it thinking it was the correct feed i do apologise.

Umkomaas

Rude? I just asked had you read all the previous posts relating to the fact that this was an 'Information Only' thread. :shocked:

Lucky pogofish didn't arrive before me!

I have never used this before, and as the page sent me straight to them bottom on a link i thought to be the advice that you post your defences on, thats why i posted it i have apologised i genuinely thought thats where i posted it as thats where i was directed... i have looked through and re-posted it in its own thread. Like i said i am sorry

Hi, completely apologise if I'm posting to the wrong thread, but I'm after some help with a PCN. I had a notice through from a couple of months back, I have moved address and they wrote to my old one first so then managed to find my new address. Anyway, I have lodged an appeal using the template on this site and they have refused and I am about to lodge an appeal with POPLA. I am going with no admission to the driver and being the registered keeper, and no sufficient signage for ANPR use so far. Any further help would be required, thank you in advance!
