  • They sent through the pictures of my car but I can't see an image of the signage on site at all. It's also poorly lit. 

    Does the the "VQ5 BAD VEHICLE IGNORED" or any of the events change the defence at all? 

    If not, I shall submit coupon-mads defence verbatim. 

    Thanks all.

    Do the photos definitely show your car and not a VRM that’s slightly different or obscured (different car)?

    Out of interest, in the SAR the postal PCN will be included.  What date of posting or issue date does the PCN/NTK (the first letter) show?

    I am interested to see if PCN History matches the dates on NTKs.

    And was there also a windscreen PCN?  What date?

    if you are certain this is your car, AND ONLY IF THERE WAS NO WINDSCREEN PCN FIRST - add a paragraph that states that:

    After filing this claim, the Claimant has finally provided photographs and a PCN history.  This data proves that they appear to have ignored a data mismatch from the DVLA and there is a question as to whether this car was even the Defendant’s vehicle.  Even if it was - and the Claimant is put to strict proof- the Notice to Keeper was posted too late for keeper liability.  The Claimant cannot rely on the POFA 2012 and has no cause of action against a registered keeper due to the failure to serve a NTK in time.
    The photos show my car from several angles and the licence plate. It is 100% my car. There are no pictures of the PCN or any signage.

    I recall there being a PCN waiting for me on the windscreen but so long ago that I don't recall anything more than that.

    There was a windscreen PCN I have no idea if the date.

    The only PCN details I can see match. The case log and the PCN numbers match however there is no VRM number logged... 
  • The images are all like this...

    What date does that PCN History say the parking event took place? The date will also be on those photos so what is it?

    We are trying to work out the exact number of days’ gap between PCN on windscreen and service of NTK.

    Just to add this correlates with the time stamps on the photos.

    Ah OK, so don’t add any extra paragraph as that was deemed served on day 56 which is in time.  Stick with the wording you had and get it signed, dated and attached to an email.  Copy in the Claimants solicitors and check that you get an auto acknowledgement email from the CCBC.
