Parkingeye 2 year old ticket.(£175)

Hello so firstly would like to say I haven’t complained to my mp although I will.
court date is 21st of October (3rd date) I parked on a winters night at 5am or so and it was dark no lights on signs except a big one out front I didn’t see! Was asked to leave car reg on the service desk etc.

time goes on, 4 months or so later get a final warning letter. County court was brought in and after mitigation (which they didn’t attend) didn’t work and after many emails and defences it was passed to my local council. 

Haven’t sent a defence in however only half the car park had signs and I was parked on the side it hadn’t. Altho I must’ve walked past a couple but were about eye line/sight.

any advice other than complain to MP? I’ve seen people advice a SAR but unsure what that exactly entails.

thank you

I am puzzled, why were the council involved?   Parking Eye is a private company.

Sorry I put that wrong, it was passed to county court in my area. It was at first with a different claims/court until mitigation and when that fell through passed onto the county court where I live

Nevermind I see where you mean, it was passed to the court/claims process not local council, not sure why I even put that.

You have sent a defence or it wouldn’t have come this far and you’d have already lost by default.

So, when you got the claim you’d have either scrawled something in the defence box on the claim paperwork or you’d have used your Govt Gateway account to access MCOL using the password on the claim form, and bunged summat in the online defence box.

So. which did you do and what was your defence?  Word for word, please.

You appear not to have read the court hearing document properly as you haven’t mentioned your obligation to now (soon) file a witness statement and evidence in support of the defence you put in.

Read the Order about the hearing again and dig out the one called Notice of Allocation because one of them tells you how many weeks prior to the hearing that you MUST submit your WS and evidence.

But we can’t help you with that until we know word for word, what you put in as a defence.
