Dcb my turn

Clopdog

Hi all sorry for another thread on this but it’s my turn to receive the court letter . 

I was meeting a mate in Manchester and this was nearest car park to hotel but as I pulled in my mate text me to tell me not to park here as car will get smashed. I checked online to check reviews and he was correct. Endless amount  of bad reviews and pictures of car windows smashed . I there for checked online for an alternative place to park then left . No idea this place had a camera on the way in as it was just a gravel pit. I never left the car and just pulled out to then receive a £100 fine . I appealed this but yet again refused. 

Do I just pay this and be done with it or shall I go down this thread route . 

Thanks in advanced

They had 6 years to issue a court claim,  standard stuff

Do the AOS online ASAP and then look at the other recent cases on here,  since the middle of April and draft your 2 or 3 paragraphs for the defence template,  same as everyone else , then post them below for critique 

No paying

Study the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum by coupon mad,  especially post  5 ans post 2, then study the 12 steps in the defence template thread in announcements near the top of the forum by coupon mad too

Nothing can be guaranteed 100% , but they do tend to discontinue before the hearing fee deadline is due,  with us helping you get through it 

In any case, a loss in court is cheaper than paying the silly total on the claim form

It won't go to a hearing, but does it matter if it does? We win. These cases are easy. Follow the process and they'll discontinue before the end game.

Ok so I’ll fill in the money claim online , then I’ll post my defence on here over the weekend . Cheers

Use the template defence. Just amend paragraph 3 to state the same circumstances you told us, but add a sentence stating you did not agree the contractual terms on offer and left. Therefore no contract exists between the defendant and the claimant, and therefore no contractual terms were breached.

99.99999% chance of them discontinuing. Although seems like such a decent case you'll probably end up disappointed you won't be able to tear them a new one in court. Another absolutely ridiculous robo-claim.

Although, having said that you can kick off during your mediation phone call in a few months. Or tell them you owe them zero and end the conversation after 10 seconds. Your call!
