Id be happy to negotiate with them and settle on a resonable cost as opposed to the £160 they want.

It was the Range store

The Range won't help. But you could defend and win as many people do now.

Am I right in thinking I can approach PE with under the table offers if I title my emails 'Without prejudice'?

PE had only started opperating on the site the month before I was caught, Id parked on there many times out of shop hours!

I wouldn't do it by e-mail. If you want a Part 36 offer I'm sure we could draft something. I'd send it by post, with proof of postage. Whilst courts are accepting of e-mails in the whole, sometimes a good, old fashioned letter is the way to go.

Can you post a copy of the offer you sent them up? Obviously remove all personal/identifying details.

the £20 settlement was agreed by OP Powerlady - thread linked below

Unless you have been given a specific email address by P E there is usually no way of emailing them - sorry I now see from your initial post you do have a contact email address for them but would follow da_rules advice and post (with free cert of posting obtained from P.O.)

[FONT=&quot]I am contacting you in an attempt to negotiate and settle this claim to save time and costs for all parties involved.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Whilst I believe I have a strong case to dispute this charge, I am also trying to organise my wedding and the purchase of a family home later this year. As you are aware these types of cases can take some time to reach a conclusion and as my personal circumstances have changed I am keen to resolve this dispute at the earliest possible opportunity. [/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]As such I would like to offer a sum of £30 as a settlement to this case.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

I can't see where you've made it without prejudice, and no it does not match the Practice Direction/Procedure Rules.

I'll try to draft you something and post it up.

I would offer £20 because they will come back with an offer of £50 (maybe?) , so then you can up it to £30 as a counter offer.

Much appreciated 'da_rule',
I had done the 'Without Prejudice' as the email subject.

Does anyone have the court reference number or the names of the parties for the £20 case?

Tried to PM you da_rule not sure if it sent or if my new profile would allow?
