in Parking tickets, fines & parking
Hi all, I received a couple of parking eye letters which I ignored and have now received the Northampton county claim form. It has however indicated that it captured a vehicle with a completely different registration number to my vehicle.


I have tried to read through the stickies however I am a tad confused about how I can handle this specific case.

Any advice would be vastly appreciated!

regards

    If the papers refer to a different vehicle and there is no contradictory photos, then you have a really easy court win with costs.

    They'll be claim papers not CCJ papers ... the CCJ only comes after a hearing and the defendant loses.

    But fair point - make sure they are properly stamped claims. It's not unheard of for PPCs to send unstamped papers or photocopies.

    Statement of Defence:


    The Claimant asserts that I can be held liable, under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, for a parking charge issued to vehicle reg. AA99BBB.


    I am not, and have never been, the registered keeper of any vehicle with that VRN. My current vehicle, of which I am the registered keeper, and was at the material time, has the VRN XX88YYY.


    This claim therefore discloses no cause of action, and I request the Court of its own volition to strike out the claim, as having no prospect of success.

    I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.

    Thanks for all of your responses. Yes the county court stamp is here.

    However looking closer things get a bit more confusing. The claim form I received has a completely different license plate number AND parking charge reference number compared to the first parking eye letter that I ignored.


    What does this mean then?

    To summarize: Letter direct from ParkingEye that asked for 100£ fine has my license plate number and a corresponding reference number.

    The County Claim Form letter has my name and address but completely different Licence plate number and reference number.
