You are kicking the can down the road so you can prepare better for a daft claim, if it comes in September.  Good prep is:

- seeing if the landowner will cancel it in August  because it's never too late to push that complaint up a notch and possibly see it cancelled; 

- reading the NEWBIES thread second post all the way through;

- reading the newly edited Template Defence;

- reading the DLUHC Impact Assessment Discussion thread and understanding the notes we've made from the Govt's analysis about the fake added £70 so you understand why the Template Defence now says what it says;

- reading other BW Legal court claim threads (search the forum) because their claims & Witness Statements are near-identical 'boilerplate text' templates, so you can read exactly what is to come and how people win!

Please could you add links to these threads? I’m not very good with this kind of stuff. Thank you 🙏 

I don't add extra links to sticky threads because you already have two links to page one  on this page, top and bottom, as my signature says.

So the landlords and the actual retail park (Dunelm) have said they can’t help because it’s too late as I’ve received Letter of Claim. 

Do I now wait for the court date?
This is very distressing tbh, I feel quite stressed about this situation. 

I know I left 14 mins later but to be fined £100 is totally ridiculous!
you see in 2021 the car park notices weren’t that obvious but now the notices are everywhere so my defence will seem quite weak
I wish I’d taken pics then …..

But Google Streetview did...

Wow, Coupon-mad, I didn’t even think of that!
Just taken some images off Google maps and it does show some signs in the car park but I didn’t see them and was not aware of them. 

They are just small white signs with light blue writing. Would that be something I could put in my defence? 

I didn’t see the signs, I’m not blind, but I honestly didn’t see them but now that I am looking for them, I see them. Does that make sense? 

So question is, do I now wait for the court date? Is there anything else I need to do? 

Thank you so much for all your help with this. I’m not sure I would have come this far without you awesome people on this forum.

Anything else you need to do?

BW have contacted me by email giving me 10 days to pay the fine , which is now £160. They have also enclosed pic of my car entering and leaving the car park as evidence of the violation. What now? 

Thank you in advance
