One Parking Solution - Rejected Appeal for parking in my own space

NeilCr

There is nothing at all in the lease about the private road and rights to park there.

It wasn't intended for people to park on (as I understand it) - but given the lack of parking on our estate (we have one visitor place for 69 residences) some do. That's okay in one part but the rest of it does not allow for parking because of the width. We have had to put up no parking notices in some places

Everyone respects those but one person regularly ignored a no parking sign where big vehicles turn (see previous posts if at all interested).

Does anyone know if there's a way to force debt collectors from sending letters? i.e. Stop sending me letters or take me to court

The only way to do that is to pay them what they are asking for.

They will ignore you. However, and importantly, any contact you make with them, they will realise they are affecting you and will likely single you out for more letter attention, hoping to break you, resulting in you paying them.

Just ignore the letters, but file and retain, should there be any court proceedings instigated by the PPC (not the debt collectors).

or take me to court

Debt collectors can't 'take you to court', they have no cause to do so.

So I have received a letter from QDR solicitors (not a letter before claim) making some threat that a claim will be made. So going off the assumption that this will go to court (hopefully won't) I have done some thinking further to my original post.

While the Management Agency sent me notice of parking enforcement, they didn't send me notice including the exact terms of parking enforcement, and certainly no notice of any potential charges. In my leasehold agreement, parking is granted subject to any Estate Regulations. Surely these regulations would include the exact terms of the parking, with any parking charges, and must be provided to me by post.

All that I was given in the post was along the lines of "One Parking Solutions are being resumed, here's some stickers, you will be fined if you don't follow [reasons]" but no exact "fine" amount. Obviously private parking companies can't even "fine" you, so was this statement even valid to begin with?

Could someone possibly clear this up?

QDR never make PPC claims, they acting merely as another debt collector (despite being solicitors).

Search this forum for QDR as your keyword, and you will find it is true!

No, and it created no 'relevant obligation' (to display the permit) that gave rise to any parking charge, nor did it point you towards any further t&cs on signage to discover the parking charge sum. So no contract existed to pay a £100 charge.

Anyway I am helping 5 people in Brighton with OPC threats of court, and over the months none of them have had a claim so I think you can relax for now. It won't be QDR!

That will be a judge when you are taken to court - and even then that judgment can be checked for accuracy.

I'm going out on a limb here and suggest you wait for a court claim. I'll go out even further on the limb and say you'll be waiting a long time.

You will find several posts, some less than a week old, telling you that QDR never start court proceedings.

More specifically, I've been searching for One Parking Solutions court claims, and saw that someone else had received a Letter Before Claim from them recently. I had previously thought that they didn't litigate much. Can't find the exact thread now.
