    Hi

    I wasn't parked in a bay there is absolutely no allocated parking on this estate at all, I was parked on teh road side that wasn't marked with any lines etc.

    I don't reside there my friend who lives there parked my vehicle there.

    Bear in mind that if you lose and have to pay up, you'll probably have to pay less than they are asking for now, so you may as well go the distance. They might not even turn up, and if they do, they tend to be pretty useless as far as solicitors go.

    You want to look at other county court cases on here and list as many legal arguments why it's not valid.

    Then your friend, the resident, needs to dig out his lease or tenancy agreement and see what is says, if anything, about parking.

    I have asked them to do this, hopefully it says something in there.

    Absolutely.

    By "court room" in the Small Claims Court they generally mean a small room with a table you all sit round and hear the case, you, the claimant and a District Judge. No gowns, no wigs, just people dressed smartly. Nothing to worry about. If you win, you pay nothing, if you lose you pay what you are told to pay within the timeline and either way it's all over.

    I can assure you there will be no handcuffs, no dock, no being taken down etc. :)

    :)

    Thank you ... goodness I actually panicked a little more then.

    I will wait for my friend to take a look at the lease, I have asked them to do it before as they and their neighbors regularly get notices and pay them or ignore them ... it really is a joke

    Thank you for your support

    Have you seen Judge Rinder? CC is nothing like that, no gowns, no dock, no usher, usually no audience, no flags, no hissy drama queen.
