New Letter of Claim received for duplicate scenario - paid within 30 day CCJ for previous charge.

Options
Hello,

I would appreciate any advice, please note this is a follow up to another thread posted which had insightful responses but I couldn't edit the thread.

Please stick with it - I will explain briefly.

Background:
  • I received circa x3 parking notice letters last year April/May 2024 from UK Car Park Management Limited.
  • I was not parked at any time but alighting to drop off my relative at the entrance of their home which is a development of flats (max 2/3 minutes each drop off).
  • In one of the photos (which is taken by a camera) it shows there was a child playing in front of my vehicle, preventing me from moving my vehicle. I was always in the vehicle.
Update:
  • I received a letter from Gladstones Solicitors stating to pay sum £288.56 (for x1 charge) in 30 days from 26 March otherwise a CCJ will be actioned by the court. I PAID THIS IN FULL WITHIN 30 DAYS FOR THE CCJ TO BE CLEARED.
  • Additionally, I have received a LETTER OF CLAIM from BW Legal to pay an additional £340 (for x2 charged) or it will proceed to Letter of Claim on 2nd May 2025 for the same scenario. - Not sure why it is being handled by 2 separate organisations.

I would like to understand if there is a way to defend/ appeal the letter of claim as I have already settled the previous case taken to the court for a duplicate scenario - is this an abuse?

    Yes you can use the Henderson v Henderson (cause of action estoppel) argument seen in other threads.

    Thank you, do I send the argument to BW legal direct straight away or wait until it goes to the court?
