Parking Charge Notice issued even when permit is displayed

No different than the advice on this one:

Come back when you can really win, at court stage, and consider a counter claim when doing your defence at that time.  We can help.  No CCJ or huge costs risks.

UPDATE:

It's been over a year since I received the PCN and have received five letters from Debt Recovery Plus (each more 'threatening' than the last). I contacted DRP and contested the PCN after receipt of the first letter and have ignored all others. Last week I received a 'Letter to Claim' from Gladstones Solicitors seeking payment. I have contested the PCN with GS as well.
It's my understanding that a Letter to Claim is a mandatory correspondence before a claim can be made against me, though it doesn't mean that a claim will be made.

If a court claim is made against me - what is my next move? As mentioned in my original post, I have video evidence that my permit was on display and witness evidence albeit my partner. Do I need to present my case in a specific manner? What kind of evidence can I present in court? Can I request the claimant to provide additional information, e.g. at what times of day the parking space is monitored?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Not sure what you need to know that's not covered in post #2 of the NEWBIES thread, which covers this stage fully?

Please don't think this will or might go away. You will be getting a court claim fairly soon, so start doing your research now as already advised by Coupon-mad.

Get pics of the site and signage, covid regs permitting.

Send an SAR to the DPO of the scammers as per the NEWBIES.

What happened when you complained to the landowner?

@Coupon-mad Thanks. I've now read the newbies post 2 regarding LBC and have submitted an SAR to CPM and have contacted Gladstones stating so.

@Fruitcake I never received a response from the landowner / property management company.  I don't expect this will go away... I'm just trying to ready myself for what's next. I'm going to fight this cause it's just wrong.

If you want to know what comes next , it's court , where you defend yourself. The newbies FAQ sticky thread has a link to a post telling you what happens and when

Evidence comes just before the hearing in several months time along with your witness statement etc

Pics and videos and documents can all be used

Why not read every residential court claim thread with CPM , pcm , link , VCS etc over the last 12 months to see how it progressed and learn the basics , it's your main job to do this research , or hire a lawyer to do it for you , at great expense !!

Once you get with the program , you get facts , opinions and suggestions

You can fully expect a court claim before easter

Any reason you didn't chase the landholder?

@nosferatu1001 I was busy with life.  I have today again contacted them asking them for information regarding the parking policy.

Not complaining and asking them to step in and cancel this scam PCN?

ianwordsworth

@Coupon-mad I did. I wrote to them and they didn't respond... isn't that the point of the forum to ask questions when answers are clear?
