Parking Charge Notice

KeithP

Just to add to my post on 9 March at 3:15PM...

@nosferatu1001 said "...they cannot restrict what is expressly allowed by statute."

It might be worth noting that there are No Loading/Unloading blips on the kerb with this sign on the nearest lamppost...

 

@mus2fa1, did you park there within those times?

I was parked around 8pm on both occasions 

nosferatu1001

So
- expre3ssly allowed
- not within the area denoted for parking controls
You know what to do based on the newbeis thread

Thank you so much for all your help guys. Greatly appreciated 😌

Hi. I have received two“letter(s) before court action”. One for each incident. Do I need to reply to them to say that I have received the letters and also give a full account of what happened as they are asking?

Also, I have moved house since the incident and the letter was given to me today. It was received last Saturday but the date at the top said 6th April. How long do I have to reply back? And should I tell them that I have moved? 

Thank you in advance for your help

You MUST tell them you have moved and you do this by sending a Data Rectification Notice by e-mail to the DPO of the PPC (find the address on the privacy page).  However that is not a letter before claim as it only gives you 14 days to respond not 30; more like a debt collector letter.

Thank you very much for your quick reply Le _Kirk. 

I was a bit confused whether the letter before court action and letter before claim were the same thing. Any idea how long before I receive a letter before claim?

As above , I certainly would not pay because the pavement is council controlled, not EOS controlled

As an aside , nobody should be parking on the pavement and I thought pavement parking was prohibited in London

No shop owner or tenant can authorise pavement parking , but EPS are sc#mmers and sc#mming you

The council could issue a real PCN however , if they caught you doing it , but not EPS , so check with the council that it is their jurisdiction and if so report EPS

Looks more like Birmingham to me: that red and white double decker bus looks like a livery used by National Express West Midlands, and that shwarma restaurant comes up as being in Birmingham on Google.

That is not a valid Letter of Claim, aka Letter Before Claim, because in only gives fourteen days for a response.

It is just a debt collector's letter.

As they say, if you don't respond they will instruct solicitors to pursue you.  Gladstones will issue a proper Letter of Claim to which you should respond as described in the second post of the NEWBIES thread.

But as @Le_Kirk says, you must ensure they have a good address for service otherwise you will find yourself with a County Court Judgment against you without having an opportunity to defend yourself.
