Thanks Keith. I did mistakenly admit liability in the original money claims online response, before I knew about this forum.
Can this be retracted?0 -

KeithP meant that parking companies monitor vehicles, using pictures
The pictures were of a vehicle entering and leaving, not a person !
To say "me" is incorrect, to say " my vehicle " would be correct ( words are important in legal situations , so no slang or similar terminology ) , it may seem pedantic, but this is not your local pub environment1 -

Here's their claim.
The interest is plain extortionate, as is the abusive double recovery of the '3 x £70' false add-on, which (if the roboclaim eejits also retain the interest, which I'd hazard a guess that they do) would see DCB Legal trouser FAR MORE THAN the parking firm's 3x £100 charges.
And that's assuming the PPC even gets £100 per PCN. It could easily be they get £60 or a sum in between, based on whatever the arrangement is.
How is this right in small claims? It was never designed for bulk litigation.
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Thanks coupon. I'm just confused how they expect to get away with it. They have 2 photos for each occasion of me leaving and entering the 'private road', but no cctv of me parking etc. There's no bollard or big signs. How do they get away with it.0

I've not read back through the thread, but do they already know who was driving?
If not, then both occurrences of the word 'me' in that third sentence of your post would be better replaced with 'the vehicle'.2 -
Thanks Keith, in my MCOL defence I stated that I was driving with my friend and his son and that I had a blue badge with me.

Surely should be a witness statement/evidence as stated in a previous post:-
"Might be on the back.Those 'documents on which you intend to rely' are your Witness Statement and evidence."5 -
I am going to start preparing my WS this evening.
I am going to base it on lack of clear signage,. Nonproof of land ownership and that i was always stationary and never got out of the car and parked as the ecidence supplied to me only shows me.ebterong and leaving the carpark on 3 occasions. One of the 3 occasions was in the dark and there was also lack of lighting around the signage.
How does this sound? Are there any WS I can use? I shared s successful POPLA appeal above which was identical to my claim, I.e same claimant, legal rep and location0 -
I wouldn't be using the term ME , you are the Defendant but the case is about the vehicle and it's movements etc
The driver, the Defendant, or, the vehicle, as mentioned previously , are suitable
Use the word STOPPED, not stationary, STOPPING for a task is not PARKED.
There are numerous witness statements on here in other case threads, but there may be none that fit your case, or exactly fit it
You must start with the recommended ones and search for others, especially completed cases over the last few years. Use the Queen title of their hit song to find completed cases, the title initials are A O B T D
If there is nothing relevant, then you must adapt one or write your own, same as all the others did in the previous cases2 -
