    *Update*

    Hi all, I am currently still writing up my defence case and would like some feedback and confirmation if this is sufficient enough grounds to stand with and fight / win the case with. 

    Will send my Aos on the 8th to gain more time. 

    Please see points below
    FYI all PCNS received from 2019 onwards 
    Prior to receiving PCNS never had a issue using my vehicle for work purposes.

    1- The signage in my case (no parking) shows that the managing agents of the land are St Modwens. There was a change of managing Agents during 2018 and the signage was not updated with the new managing agents company name (still showed St Modwens) (on this note does it invalidate the signed considering ST Modwens did not manage the land therefore invalidate there entire claim)

    2- My letter from the DVLA after a SAR was sent to DVLA shows that the first time my details were accessed was in September 2019, however I have a letter and spreadsheet from ECP informing me I owe them a total of 64 PCNS all listed with the reference numbers from March 2019 onwards. 51 PCNS at this time where only put on my car and no letter was received. (If they are enforcing that I owe them a total of 64 PCNS does this come under abuse of process as I didn’t receive Any letters following 28 days after the PCN was put on my car)


    3- Letters from CST LAW state DRP have instructed them due to client ECP. (If CST LAW are being legitimate / legal, why would the payments go to DRP and not ECP, also DRP can’t instruct CST LAW as per forums from what I can see (again is this abuse of process) 


    4- When I requested a SAR from ECP, they did not supply the letter and spread sheet they sent to me that I kept luckily, with ECP informing me I currently have a remaining 64 PCNS to clear. (Did they not provide this due to the fact that they didn’t follow the correct procedures to enforce that what not only I’m hoping comes under abuse of process but also failing to provide all relevant details after I requested so via SAR, meaning not all documents, informations where sent to me, what else did they “forget” to send. 


    5- The reason I continued to have used the vehicle in the same location is due to the fact that all other workers would use this area in order to work efficiently, and was informed that only workers of local businesses would be fine to use this area. Years prior to this i never had no issue what so ever personally,  so when everyone starting to get them (same time) I was informed that they are trying to scam us out of monies as sometimes in the past they would get them but then nothing would happen after. Previous employees I got into contact with informed me that they would get them from time to time however nothing would happen. When I saw the black and white papers being attached to my window wiper with a sealy bag (looks like you can get from any pound shop) defiantly gave me scams vibes, especially when I have been verbally informed that I can use this area for working purposes. Overall the entire situation from the get go didn’t seem legit, what gave me reason to doubt the entire bunch of PCNS/Invoices they are making a claim for. 


    As mentioned I will send Aos on the 8th giving me more time (28 days) to build up my defence and articulate properly using a laptop / Desktop. 

    Please see pictures of the Letter and spread sheet I was referring to above in points 2/4.

    Thank you everyone again who is continuing to assist me along this way.

    As I said earlier...
    With a Claim Issue Date of 20th July, you have until Monday 9th August to file an Acknowledgment of Service, but there is nothing to be gained by delaying it. 

    Delaying the filing of an Acknowledgment of Service will not give you any more time.
    All it will do is increase the risk of you forgetting to do it.

    You may as well file an Acknowledgment of Service now... before you forget it.

    If you do forget to file an AoS, the filing of your Defence becomes due at 4pm on Monday 9th August.

    Wow...how much is the claim for?  Jeez parking there and listening to clueless people instead of Googling it and checking was daft and could cost you a fortune.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
