One Parking Solution Ltd., ZZPS Ltd & QDR Solicitors

Hello there,
I have done considerable work on my own and enlisted the assistance of a friend who was a solictor. She now recommends going to court and asking for the hearing to be local to me. Obviously I am concerned about my newly repaired credit rating (hit due to difficult circumstances) don't want to go backwards in that respect. All the information on MSE Parking Forums indicate that mediation is not recommended. The detail on the last correspondence said that the mediator will be impartial. Is this not the case? I would in any case only offer the mediator the £1 that I apparently should have paid. Now asking for over £200.
I initially ignored everything. Next I filed a defence online with the court. Now being offered mediation and I have until 27th August to respond.


I have had absolutely no phone contact nor direct correspondence with One Parking, nor their solicitors QDR.



Basic story:
Was waiting for a call about a job
Call came when I was driving
Pulled in at the first safe place (double yellow lines everywhere)
Stopped the car in cul de sac outside Laura Ashley in Lewes (apparantly £1 charge in machine and leased to One Parking Solution Ltd)

Returned the call
Drove off
Total time - uncertain but around 7 mins
Didn't look for signs - didn't intend to park
I was on my way to a workshop and had a parking voucher for area 5 mins drive further up the street
which I used afterwards
My defence is that I did not enter in to a contract, because there was no contract
I 'stopped' only and did not 'park'



Thank you for reading. Any advice appreciated. I am concerned about the parking companies being on these threads too!

Did you not read what KeithP said to you earlier today on someone else's thread you jumped in on?

chelostar, you started your own thread back in June after being similarly chastised, and now you have done it again. Why is that?

And yet you still post against advice we've given. Regulars can easily shy away from advising when advice is being ignored.

Oh! So sorry. I had completely missed that I had posted about this when I first got a letter. I shall post this new post with the old one. Thank you.

Ah Umkomaas - It is not intentional to disregard and I do not think that anyone would intentionally do that. There is so much information it can be very confusing for those who are not used to Forums. I really do appreciate the help that is here though. Thanks to Le-Kirk giving me threads, I have now found my way to critical information that I need and have plotted my next steps.
Thank you.
