Link Parking PCN and BW Legal Letter of Claim Help please.

biglintel

Hi. My wife had a Link parking PCN. She has a 365 day parking pass ticket from her work but it was not visible to the inspector. Her work said they could not do anything said to appeal. I read the posts about not appealing but annoyingly I took the advice of her work and contacted Link Parking through their online appeal web page. I wrote as a complaint though not an appeal and did not mention who was driving, hoping this would still cover me. Either way I now have a letter of Claim and was wondering the best way to contest. I was going to cut and paste the letter from the site and send that although i am not sure how to contest my particular situation when it goes to court. Any advice would be much appreciated!!

Plan A is still the best option, a complaint from the keeper to the landowner and the keeper's MP. If the landowner is the employer, then complaints to the employee's manager and all the way up the tree to the CEO should be made. There is no reason why a whitelist/exempt list of employees' vehicles cannot be used to supplement physical permits to prevent exactly this sort of thing from happening.
If the employee is a union member, their re' should be all over this.

It's too late to appeal, so follow the guide to court written by bargepole from the sticky announcement for NEWBIES and the template defence sticky Announcement that includes a twelve step guide and advice on how to respond to a letter of/before claim.

Everything must be done by the person named on the LoC and subsequent court claim.

If your wife received the PCN, why are you involved? Are you the RK?  If you are helping your wife, everything in her name if she is the RK.

Thank you! I'll give plan A a go. I need to find out who owns the land as it's a public car park and her employer just pays for a certain number of spaces.

Does her "works" own the land - sometimes a company may just be a tenant and no the landowner - perhaps they can assist?

Unfortunately her work just pay for a certain number of spaces and don't own the land

I'm just helping out as she has too much on to be wasting time on annoying PCNs

If Link are involved then it's definitely not public land or a public carpark, it's a PRIVATE car park with access for the public to use, subject to the rules, with Link employed as a 3rd party enforcement contractor 

So definitely find out which company manage that car park on behalf of the landowner,  or find the landowner details,  or both, then the RK complains to them about the PCN

Whoever the workplace pay for those spaces is who to politely ask to cancel the PCN. Needs a bit of digging but it is the best way to kill it.

My tip re the entity that indisputably already knows who is responsible for the bay allocation was in my post.
