@g1871 my elderly parents are being taken to court on 19/3 by premier parking. They paid the £1 parking fee, entered their registration but accidentally put an extra digit. The machine printed the ticket with the extra digit. They stayed less than the time paid for. They received demands for non payment. They have sent proof of payment as my father kept the ticket but are still being taken to court. The final letter received from them has now changed to reason being about the invalid vehicle registration. Can they do this? I am helping my parents with a statement to read in court. Please can you or anyone on here advise of what we need to put in this statement. As far as I’m concerned, they paid, they have proof and you can tell that it’s the right registration of their car albeit 1 digit out. 

Thanks 

It's not a statement to read in court.

It's a Witness Statement & evidence as per those examples linked in the NEWBIES thread, which the Defendant has to file & serve (in advance) within days of now!

There is only one Defendant not two (your parents can both attend together if they want, but are not both being taken to court).

Read the WS and exhibits section of the NEWBIES thread then start your own thread.

They will win, by the way.  There's no evidence that the extra digit was their fault and it's clearly a minor keying error only.
