I think it will fit in actually. Need to stop panicking.

Was going to email it all the the claimant tonight or tomorrow but if I wait until tomorrow it will most likely be after 5pm. Is that a problem... should I make sure it is sent off to them tonight?

No, send it tomorrow after 5pm. BW Legal are 'open' til 8pm and if you use enquiries@bwlegal.co.uk you'll get an automated reply to confirm they've received it.

If your attachment is large then it could be rejected by their server. Back yourself up by uploading it to Dropbox and including the link in your email. Then they have no excuse

Thanks, I'll send it tomorrow.

In the email they said

Here's the dropbox link.

Interesting that they have attached a sign I have never seen, which was on their pics below the Entrance sign... I have never seen this and I was also a regular user of the carpark. It certainly isnt there now.

Hahaha, CPS v AJH Films!

Also, on what basis are they saying the Railway Byelaws do not apply to this location? It's called 'Station Car Park B' so it's a Station Car Park.

The overhead picture with green circles could have been created by anyone, and is no evidence at all that the green circles mean signs were there that day, let alone what the terms said.

And it's the only sign photo with no date at the bottom...hmmmm...

And if that sign had been on that lamppost right next to your car that day, wouldn't the parking goon have taken a nice pic of the car from the side, showing the sign on the lamppost next to your car?

And as the contract was only agreed 3 weeks before the parking event, what evidence is there of signs and lines being properly re-marked and prominently displayed by that time, seeing as we know that CENTRO admitted that enforcement in many of their locations could not begin until the lines had been repainted. No hatched lines there.

And they'd done that in those 59 locations in 3 weeks, had they?! Strict proof needed...

It wasn't on the lamppost next to my car to be fair.... it's on the entrance.

What can I do... that's the question?

MadHatter752

Also should mention that the entrance sign I've never seen and isn't there appears on googlemaps... very strange

I know, but one of their other pics shows what looks like the same 'island' with a sign on that very lamppost, that's what I am saying. Their evidence suggests that very place had a sign just above your car, yet one would ask, why did the parking goon not take such a photo then, while your car was there? Because that sign probably didn't exist either...
