Parking Eye/Popla refusal

The duty manager said they usually cancel, but request a £20 admin fee.

That's great to hear! Big relief eh?

Though the more familiar I become with this scam, the more justified righteous indignation seems. If the same happened to me now I think I'd get in first with a request for free cinema tickets to offset my 'admin'.

Update:
I still recieved a county court business centre letter, but will revisit the cinema manager too.
In the meantime I am writing my defence response and have this so far. I have read the newbies thread many times but I'm personally struggling do would appreciate advice.

The defendant denies that the claimant is entitled relief of the sum claimed, for the following reasons.
1. The defendant entered their registration number into the maching at the cinema.
2. The defendant has proof of online ticket purchase for a movie correlating with time and duration of parking.
3. The cinema manager asked Parkingeye to cancel the parking charge.
4. The time and duration indicated on correspondence from Popla was incorrect.

What amendments could I make to this?
Thank you.

With a Claim Issue Date of 11th June, you have until Monday 1st July to do the Acknowledgement of Service, but there is nothing to be gained by delaying it. To do the AoS, follow the guidance offered in a Dropbox file linked from post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread. About ten minutes work - no thinking required.

Having done the AoS, you have until 4pm on Monday 15th July 2019 to file your Defence.

That's almost three weeks away. Loads of time to produce a perfect Defence, but please don't leave it to the last minute.


When you are happy with the content, your Defence should be filed via email as suggested here:

Print your Defence.
1. Sign it and date it.
   
2. Scan the signed document back in and save it as a pdf.
   
3. Send that pdf as an email attachment to CCBCAQ@Justice.gov.uk
   
4. Just put the claim number and the word Defence in the email title, and in the body of the email something like 'Please find my Defence attached'.
   
5. Log into MCOL after a few days to see if the Claim is marked "defence received". If not chase the CCBC until it is.
   
6. Do not be surprised to receive an early copy of the Claimant's Directions Questionnaire, they are just trying to keep you under pressure.
   
7. Wait for your DQ from the CCBC, or download one from the internet, and then re-read post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread to find out exactly what to do with it.

A poster here who writes defences. Please read the NEWBIES thread 2nd post.

The duty manager requested a cancellation of notice there and then without even asking me for my evidence. He said I should receive a letter of confirmation within 28 days, so fingers crossed!

Send a SAR to the Cinema, refer to the GDPR and ask for a copy of the email they sent to ParkingEye.

That will either flush out:

- that the cinema failed to send one, or

- that ParkingEye ignored an instruction from the cinema, pre-court.

Hi. My claim form has been returned because I didn't submit my defense.
I have read through the newbies thread many times but can't find anything I can use for reference in relation to my circumstances.

Can anybody please help?
Thank you.

Why did you submit a claim form?
You did the Ack. of Service online, surely?
You have until 15th July to submit your defnce. You knew this TWO WEEKS AGO and you still dont have a defence written?!

The newbies thread absoltuely covers your situation.

Your claim form has been returned from where? Did you post it or use the MCOL service to do the AoS? It is not normal to send a defence with the claim form but to submit it as per KeithP's post # 26.

Quentin

See the newbies faq thread post #2 for all advice on court claims/defences etc


Did you send a defence or not?


If so protest!


If not then don't miss your deadline, otherwise expect a CCJ by default
