Hi,

My Father got a ticket in the same place back in Dec 2018 i believe (at the rear of Clapham Junction through yellow posts)...It's been a long time but recently went to Court / MCOL stage.

I may get round to making a new thread with my Fathers ticket info - just wanted to ask if you have any updates please in case worth swapping notes!

Thanks

The OP last visited the forum 2 months ago - anything could have happened to them in the meantime. Try dropping them a PM, then they should receive an email saying that you're trying to contact them.

@tiga456 I haven't heard anything since. Although if they are dealing with Dec 18, maybe I'm in line. Happy to discuss experiences.

Very helpful offer, it's great when those going through the same process, same PPC, same location can offer support to each other. Nice one.

Hi @tealover123

Thanks for your reply, (not sure if i need to start a new thread or can join forces here?)

By way of introduction

- My elderly father (80 years old at time of PCN) blue badge holder dropped off a friend passenger at the rear of Clapham Junction at the said car park in Dec 2018. On the PCN photos it shows he was there for 14 minutes. As I understand a week before the PCN the car park recently changed the rules, no longer allowing free drop off's for Disabled / Blue badge holders - as my father always parked within the 'grace period'.

There were no prior notice and poor signage. Thinking we had a strong case we did the IAS appeal (paying £15!! doh) which was not fruitful and the (CPM / Gladstones) continued sending us letters.

That's when did some research on these forums and originally wrote to National Rail - (whom i presumed was the owner of the land but never seemed to reply).

Subsequently 'let sleeping dogs lie' during Covid pandemic....But recently the Claimant has brought the case to Small claims court (MCOL).

 

So reading up again i recently wrote to 'stop shop clapham junction' who replied quite quickly and said

"The car park was at the time of the issue of the PCN under the management of JustPark who in turn instruct UKCPM to manage the parking enforcement"

They said they would pass the info onto the relevant people - but not holding breath.

By way of update:

Filed the defense on 6th Sept by e-mail. Today received an e-mail from Gladstones with Directions Questionnaire  ;

"We act for the Claimant and have notified the Court of the Claimant’s intention to proceed with the Claim.

Please find enclosed a copy of the Claimant’s completed Directions Questionnaire, which has also been filed with the Court.

You will note the Claimant has elected to mediate in an attempt to settle this matter amicably, without the need for further Court intervention. Should you agree to mediation, please inform the Court who will contact both parties to arrange a mediation appointment."

Is this normal that Gladstones ask for mediation?

I think i read somewhere to ignore their DQ but submit my own DQ when court gets in touch (by e-mail / post?)

Thanks

@tiga456 You need a new thread of your own please. While things might be in parallel now, there will be divergences, then the confusion kicks in as to whom any advice is being offered. Then there's potential for expensive errors for both posters.

Agreed ... and this point has been made to @tiga456 after almost every other post they have made.
