That is probably the business premises, ask them who the landowner or managing agent is, if its not them 

Get complaining, plan A 

Okay will do. I have emailed the tenby exports company just to say following up on earlier call about your request to cancel this ticket etc and who is the landowner / managing agent. but have a sneaky feeling they cant be bothered so plan A will fail me, but will exhaust it anyway. Only have till 25/09 otherwise ive missed the window (which i know is just a scare too by the dcbl). 

Just annoying as i genuinely think I have grounds to fight this….

Not sure what window you think you'll miss. If you can't get pcn cancelled and you were to receive a court claim you can defend it with help from this forum. Have you read the NEWBIES thread?

You’re right i havent missed any window, the letter just makes you feel that way as a tactic to make people pay.

What % of these ‘claims’ actually go past this stage , like is it likely now I will get a letter from their legal entity or do they give up after this usually?

Tens of thousands of claim's per annum, roboclaims

Have you not read the other threads on here yet. ?  Especially the Discontinuations thread by member Umkomaas. ?

I cannot really remember any giving up beforehand until the 6 years deadline passes

They issue something like 12 million PCNs per annum between the 180 or so private parking companies

Yeah working my way through some of the discontinuations and legal cases people are putting forward. 

Not jumping the gun or anything but I think the main argument in my case was that the ParkingEye machine im supposed to put my number plate in was down on the day, essentially rendering the parking contract useless (I hope). Will happily go all the way in court if needed

Gr1pr

But the counter argument is that the driver should leave promptly, unless your arguments include that fact. ( If true. ?  )

A faulty machine doesn't give the right to park 

Plan A is still your best option here to get the PCN quashed

True doesnt state that but usually I have to write my car reg down next to the machine for the gym to do it. and in this case not sure what happened on my gyms end.

Not sure what else would the argument, i was there past 5 which means I am allowed to park…

Gr1pr

The driver is only allowed to park if they fully comply with the signage on that private property 

The driver does not have permission to park regardless 

The parking company will state that the driver is in breach of the parking contract as detailed on the signs, hence why they issued the NTK PCN , clearly the parking contract wasn't complied with and clearly the driver didn't leave promptly 

So the keeper or driver has to study the signs and the contract between gym and landowner that allow the driver to take advantage of the contract 

The devil is in the detail, its not carte blanche or as clear cut as you seem to believe 

I could offer you free parking after 5 as long as you are in a pink vehicle, park up in a blue one or a pink one but at 4pm and you would breach our contractual agreement 

Read what the sign says, in full 

The gym can only grant you carte blanche as a member if they were the landowner 

You relied on a third party to register the VRM in the usual manner

Okay so what then, do I not have an argument and therefore should just pay up?

Coupon-mad

No and I'm surprised @Gr1pr is posting like this which is having the effect of spooking you.  Of course you don't pay.

Of course you can easily defend a court claim. We do this every day. Simple templates.

DCB Legal discontinue claims before hearings and it'll all be over in 2025. No worries.
