second claim form for residential parking

I have received a letter for claim from UKPPO for a parking ticket for parking in my residential area. I have already received a claim form for a separate PCN in the same residential area (which I am defending).
I read somewhere that they can only make a claim for all PCNs in one claim - is this correct?

    they can make as many claims as they like.


    Does your lease/rental (etc) agreement give you the right to park in that space, is this your own space?

    What does your lease/AST say about parking? Does it mention permits? Does it mention paying a parking parasite silly money if you do nor display one. If it is silent on the matter them your lease/AST has primacy and, if the are daft enough to take this to court they may get a bloody nose, read this

    [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams, so consider complaining to your MP, it can cause the scammer extra costs and work.

    Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, many of whom are former clampers, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.

    Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

    Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.[/FONT]l[/FONT]

    Search the forum for a combo of these words to find the wording to add:

    two claims? Abuse of process substantially consolidated

    And search the forum separately for UKPPO if you've not yet seen all the residential defences already written recently about their pathetic cases.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
