Letter before claim - myparkingcharge.co.uk

Bruce18

Hi guys,


I've read the newbies thread about parking charges and have followed instructions regards the appeals. Unfortunately they have failed and I am now at the stage of letter before claim.


First question, is it worth filling in their form or is a letter better?


And if letter does anyone have a template?


I am happy with court, as I go regularly as part of my job and I am not paying this fine.


I won't bore you with the whole story but basically my grandmother lives in a block where the parking is managed by the cowboys. She was very ill and has dementia, I was never aware that the permit colour changed every year as my nan never told me and didn't know herself. I was visiting my nan as she was very ill and on this particular day I had to call an ambulance. I went back to my car and I had a ticket. I was displaying the incorrect colour permit!!! I visit my nan every week 2/3 times a week and was never aware of this...


The building manager has emailed to support my appeals and still they wont drop it. I know I had the wrong permit but surely this constitutes extenuating circumstances.


Any thoughts would be much appreciated!


Thanks

Quentin

Never complete their forms!


#2 in the FAQ advises on court claims from receipt of the LBCCA right through to the hearing


Have you used your real name as your forum name?


If so ask MSE to change it to something anonymous


The ppcs monitor here and can use your thread against you

First question, is it worth filling in their form

No.

And if letter does anyone have a template?

No, please don't. Just read lots of other LBC threads, please...no template - nonono!

I've typed the same answer so many times about replying to an LBC/doing a SAR to the parking firm, I can no longer keep up right now and need some sleep!
