Own Apartment Parking Fine

They have wasted your time, now waste theirs. Send them an invoice for your time at £19.00 an hour, and 45ppm for mileage. When they ignore follow up with a letter before action,

you then have up to six years to take them to court.

Sorry for the air silence - took a while to get the date booked in.

I won. 3 hours in court with back and forth defending several claims from the opposing side. Was tough but a great experience. Next time will be in a better position to counter claim - hope the thread helps others in the same position. Best.

Brilliant! Thanks for the update, a great example of a residential site win, using Jopson v Homeguard and other cases.

Which court - and was there more than one hearing?

Did you claim costs each time when you won?

Was it your lease, plus this case that swayed the Judge?

14. The claimant may argue that I parked outside of the allocated bay for loading. I refer to the case of Jopson v Homeguard [2016] B9GF0A9E (Exhibit F), where on appeal it was found that the parking company could not override the tenant's right to temporarily stop near the building entrance for loading/unloading.

You seem to have inadvertently posted on someone else's thread. If you have a thread open, suggest you post on there or you cold try Auntie Google or the Parking Prankster's case law pages HERE.

This poster has posted on at least one other thread asking exactly the same thing.

Hi everyone - after reading the Newbies thread, I thought it would be best I ask my question under this thread, as the opening poster's situation is almost identical to mine. 

I received a ticket 6 months or so ago in my own parking space at my flat (which I 100% own). My permit had slipped down the window and can be half seen in their evidence. 

Perhaps, rather foolishly, after reading a variety of things on the web, I decided to ignore the initial letters and hope they would go away. I have received several, the last three being from Trace Debt Recovery. The most recent letter from Trace, comes from their legal department, written on behalf of Trace Debt recovery. Is this an example of a LBC? If so do I need to respond? 

I've tried to attach the letter but it won't let me as I'm a first time poster.

You should start your own thread if you need advice

A formal LBC gives 30 days to pay and includes financial forms that you do not fill in

If it doesn't match those 2 criteria , then it's a debt collector letter and can be ignored

For an LBC , reply to deny the alleged debt , plus email a SAR to the DPO at the PPC and attach a copy of the V5C or 2 copies of recent redacted utility bills as proof of I D under the GDPR law , to obtain all your data

The PPC has 6 years to issue a court claim

Check what your lease says about parking , but if you actually do own the parking space then why are you displaying a permit an why are you as landowner allowing the PPC to ticket your own vehicle on your own land ?

Great, thank you very much. In that case, I don't think it is an LBC as it doesn't have any 30 day deadline and certainly no financial forms.

Presumably, I should wait this out is I will hold off starting a new thread for now.

Ok , but it still doesn't answer why you are letting parasites ticket your vehicle on your own land !!
