    Can you provide that evidence to the group? send a private message to this thread starter and collaborate from start to finish.

    Love your case re harassment. Read Henry Hippo's case on pepipoo against UKPC where he had a successful counter-claim, as you need to lay it on THICK at Witness Statement stage about the distress caused, and cite the right parts of the Act (two WS will be needed for you, one in support of your counter-claim alone, and even if UKPPO discontinue their claim, you can force your CC - which remains 'live' - to a hearing by paying the hearing fee).

    Ive been in contact with the thread starter :)

    With regards to the RTA, the definition of road as per Section 192 of the RTA 1988 is;

    in relation to England and Wales, means any highway and any other road to which the public has access, and includes bridges over which a road passes,

    Now my "offence" was on the roads leading upto the car parks, not in the car parks. You can drive straight to it without going through any barriers or anything. How can anyone say it is not a road that the public has access to? The RTA doesn't specify who fund it, just that the public must have access to it, therefore the RTA does apply as per the Byelaws (which are taken from the airports act 1986) the byelaws aren't applicable to that particular road.


    Now, if the car was stopped on a grass verge for example, the byelaws WOULD apply and there could be a PCN issued however not on the roads....and maybe not in the car park as you have to go through a barrier?

    And as per the counter-claim, it was always meant to be something to edge UKPPO towards dropping the idea of taking me to court but not its in I'm going to run with it :)

    Havent got my counter claim to hand so cant remember what I put down.


    Something about Protection from Harrasment Act 1997; Its states;


    A person must not pursue a course of conduct by which he intends to persuade any person to do something that he is not under any obligation to do.

    Their letters a pretty forceful threatening court action and CCJ's. I argue they have no right to issue me a PCN, therfore they are trying to persuade me to do something I am not under obligation to do.

    Never expected to win it, just wanted to see what happened. If I took it to court they could get a fine of upto £5000 if found guilty so £1000 seems fair? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi all,

    I received 2 PCN's in March 2018 when picking up and dropping off a friend at the Hotel Barrier at Newcastle Airport. I didn't respond to the letters as I didn't think they had legal grounds to pursue me and believed it to be scare tactics.

    Unfortunately whilst I have been away on Active Duty (RAF), BW Legal have entered two CCJ's against me (which I didn't have chance to appeal) and after seeking Legal Advice I have paid the fees to ensure my credit score is not effected for the next 6 years.

    Can I please be added to the WhatsApp group?

    I want to Appeal the decision but had to pay due to the time constraints and after speaking to the Court they would not give me an extension on the time period.

    Thanks in advance.

    Elliot
  • if those CCJs were issued more than 30 days ago , and you have paid , then they will be marked as satisfied , and WILL affect your credit "score"

    I have paid them within 14 Days of being issued. I did go into the County Court today and they said it would have been £255 for each claim to be heard in Court so I paid to get the CCJ's off.

    That sounds like you have paid £255 each to have two hearings to have two Judgments set aside.

    Is that right?

    Or was each Judgment for £255?
  • I read it that he has[STRIKE] Funded[/STRIKE] paid them 2 x claims at escalated prices, instead of doing setasides and fighting them

    Twc, you may be right.
  • For setasides I would have had to have two hearings which would have cost £510. My CCJ's were £268 each so I have paid that to get them off my file. If not the CCJ's would have gone on until the hearing was done and only be "satisfied" if i was to win the cases.
  • no they would have been removed once setasides were granted , if the parking co had wanted to actually fight you they would have had to start again , not simply go after someone that was not in a position to fight

    perhaps the info given by the court was wrong?
