Harrow Hall - Langley - PCN Parking Eye

Dear all,

First of all thank you in advance for all your help.
I am in the exact situation of the gentlemen in this post. I (registered keeper) have received a PCN from Parking Eye for driving into 'Harrow Hall carpark':

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6549898/pcn-parking-eye/p1

The only difference is that I have unfortunately missed the opportunity to appeal and Parking Eye have now sent a letter before county court claim.
I have already drafted my defence in case they start court proceedings, on the grounds of improper signage, no clear demarcation between the two car parks, and the fact that the images taken by Parking Eye do not actually show where the car ended up parked. 
Does this sound like a solid ground of appeal/defence?

Any help you guys could give me would be much appreciated! I will of course update as the case progresses in case anyone else experiences the same incident at this car park.

    Respond to the LBCCC and set out your dispute.

    Can you get pics of the signs there?  Does the t&cs sign on-site include adding £25?

  • Hi Coupon-mad thanks for your response.
    I have responded to the LBCCC.
    The other post that I have mentioned contain the sings, however I will come back to the area at some point soon to gather more evidence. The T&C does not mention adding £25, it just says: recovery charges in respect of further action may apply.

    I have also contacted what I believe is the landowner and awaiting a reply.

    OK so no £25 on the signs means that add-on is not recoverable anyway.  Loads of MSE ParkingEye defences this year cover that.
