I went to pick up a deaf client for his first driving lesson at his residence and I received parking ticket from the above company. I have explained the situation but they are adamant and continue to pursue for me to pay the PCN. The deaf client has also written to the NPE and they are still not willing to listen. Consequently, I am receiving letters from their Litigation Department demanding to pay including a further charge, in total £160. I have appealed to their Accredited Trade Association upon NPE's instruction but unfortunately, I did not get a response. In the end, I have decided that it would be best for either a judge or an arbitrator to look at this matter. I have eventually drove back to the client's parking court and noticed the signs are obstructed by greenery as I entered the area (image attached below).

I would appreciate your opinions and advice. Thank you.

Did it look like that when you parked there? What is their evidence? Can you name the carpark and company?

NPE are well known sc#mmers , so yes that poor signage you never saw is one aspect of the defence , but not the only one , the Jopson case is another , plus loading and unloading is not parking , it's a service


Let a judge decide , in court

Read the thread by @trevorbbrown who has offered to help people beat NPE by complaining to the landowners and local MP about various sites in Norwich.

If that complaint doesn't work, you keep those photos and embed the date and time metadata into them to prove when they were taken, and sit tight and come back here and reply only if you get a LBC or court claim.  See the NEWBIES thread 2nd post about that, and how to win.

, I am receiving letters from their Litigation Department demanding to pay including a further charge, in total £160.

That extra £60 is almost certainly unlawful, read this, and compllain to yoy MP.

Excel v Wilkinson

At the Bradford County Court, District Judge Claire Jackson (now HHJ Jackson, a Specialist Civil Circuit Judge) decided to hear a 'test case' a few months ago, where £60 had been added to a parking charge despite Judges up and down the country repeatedly disalloand complain to your MP.wing that sum and warning parking firms not to waste court time with such spurious claims.   That case was Excel v Wilkinson: G4QZ465V, heard in July 2020 and leave to appeal was refused and that route was not pursued.  The Judge concluded that such claims are proceedings with 'an improper collateral purpose'.   This Judge - and others who have since copied her words and struck dozens of cases out in late 2020 and into 2021 - went into significant detail and concluded that parking operators (such as this Claimant) are seeking to circumvent CPR 27.14 as well as breaching the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   DJ Hickinbottom has recently struck more cases out in that court area, stating: ''I find that striking out this claim is the only appropriate manner in which the disapproval of the court can be shown''.

The car park is Halstead Court, London, E17 8EW. The company National Parking Enforcement Ltd (PO Box 3710, Norwich, Norfolk, NR7 7BT).
I didn't notice any sign as my objective was to pick up the pupil for his driving lesson but yes this is how it looked like.
