    Not being the driver may not help you if the parking company complied with the law called POFA , enacted 8 years ago

    It's as keeper that the court claim was issued , nothing to do with ownership !! nobody cares who owns it

    We don't know who the parking company are

    We do not know if their PCN complied with POFA , or not

    We haven't seen your defence

    We have not seen the signage or bay markings

    We have not seen the landowner contract

    We do not know the total amount claimed , or how it is made up ?

    So with so little information , the answer is no , Nobody can assist due to too little information

    Oh no, why are you doing Mediation...(please don't answer - and please cancel it).

    YOU REALLY NEED TO READ THE NEWBIES THREAD BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE DONE THIS BADLY WRONG.  

    WHAT DID YOUR DEFENCE SAY?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
