Not the Registered Keeper or Owner

Marktheshark

A lot of people here are very scared of this parking eye ?
If the OP was not the keeper send them a statement of truth to that and let them chose to ignore it and chance it with a judge.
If the documentation shows he was not the keeper, sounds like an easy £90 in expenses to me.
You could even include a copy of the DVLA letter, redacted of course so they dont know who the new keeper is.
See how they like it up em.

Not scared - realistic. PE filed 17000 small claims in a year and continue to have hearings every single day, winning many of them. And small claims can be a lottery with an idiot Judge - there was one PE case last year where a pepipoo poster was all prepared and yet at the hearing the judge didn't let him speak. AT ALL. PE won.

Surely, The Deep you are not suggesting that C-M, of all of the regulars here, is apathetic?

No, but I am saying is that she is risk averse.

You appear to be conflating costs and loss

As costs beyond a very small amount are not refundable in a small claims action, I see little difference between them, However, you are under no obligation to keep them down. If someone writes off my Jaguar in a RTA and I hire a Jaguar while mine is being repaired, am I being extravagant, should I have hired a Fiesta instead?

I find that difficult to believe, is there a link?

LOL! That describes my husband but never me! Nite!

If the PPC were to send the OP a proper Letter Before Claim (some chance!) then in his response he would list the documents he intends to rely on in court, one of which would be his evidence that he was not the keeper.

If the PPC were sufficiently insane to proceed to court in the face of that then I don't see how the OP could remotely come across as being unreasonable.

It's all about expendiency and, as The Deep says, risk aversion here. Whatever happened to standing up for points of principle e.g. not dancing to the tune of two-bit jumped-up parking companies who demand evidence and information as though they have some God-given right to it?

Congrats. Did you contact them again or did this just come out of the blue?

I've posted on their web portal a few times before I received this.
