Has anyone noticed what I have?

Wrong car park perchance?

MercurialNo.10

The bit about the Hospital is confusing as the claimed car park is nowhere near this area. (This error has been mentioned in later correspondence)

Seems to be some discrepancy about amounts of money being claimed...£40 or £45 before £90?

Strange that...

Different amounts more likely!

Maybe a new clerk typed in £40 as he/she couldn't read their own writing?!

You'd think that such glaring errors weaken any case that the PPC think they might have, wouldn't you?

Not hugely
Theyre just invoices
Invoices can have incorrect details, it doesnt invalidate any (alleged) underlying debt.

MercurialNo.10

Granted, but it certainly doesn't make them look very professional.

So we're on...what kind of evidence should I collect?

Could get a WS from someone who could state that they had heard that the attendant had given permission to whomever had parked the car to park there (along with another vehicle), that the car is driven by more than one person and that they know I did not park the car.

Photos of tiny print sign etc.?

What happened about this:

The Consumer Council are very interested in this case, have been in touch with a lovely girl and I've begun collecting evidence, will be able to get Witness Statements about the car park site and am pretty sure someone legal might fancy this (I'm not earning much and it'd be a landmark case).

At least evidence an email or two from the CC, showing their interest.

And see the NEWBIES thread for the sort of evidence you can use in any case.

MercurialNo.10

So, a response to the dispute...

Which includes something along the lines of...You said you weren't driving and won't name the driver, our view is that you were the driver.

Should I print out POFA even though it doesn't apply etc.?

I can also provide a witness statement saying that I didn't park the vehicle and that they (the witness) had been told/believed that the regular attendant had given permission to whomever was driving at the time to park freely.

Worth highlighting this to my MP? Do the PPC's have to request details from the DVLA for each alleged contravention etc.?
