Excel Parking Letter of Claim

75 Posts

Good Evening All,
I have received a Claim Form from Excel Parking Services LTD for a fee of £245 (160 for amount claimed, 35 court fee and 50 for legal representative costs). I have been through the forum and looked at suggested template defence for all parking charges and am still unsure of what to do. I had a LBC sent last year and then a notice of instruction a few weeks ago. I went through the forum and followed the newbies guide to ask for a SAR, reported the solicitors to the SRA and have still got a LOC. Can anyone suggest what defence I can give? I didn't take pictures of signs or anything and tbh I don't really have a defence.
Thank you in advance

You need to get pics of the site and signage and check the NTK to see if either are capable of holding the keeper liable. You need to determine if the signage or NTK is capable of holding the keeper liable, then put that in paragraphs 2 and 3 of the defence template.
Is this related to your now closed earlier thread?...
