PCN from Leen Gate car park, Nottingham QMC hospital

Hi all,

In short, we parked in the car park for City hospital and paid £6.00 for 4 hours of parking at nearest pay machine to our bay. Left car park before expiry of parking period. So far so good.

A week later we get a PCN letter claiming that we didn't pay at all. We wanted to dispute it, we sent copy of our parking ticket that we paid for on the day to the firm in question, but they came back and said that the ticket we paid for WASN'T in their car park. So we're confused.

Subsequently we received from the firm a letter before action - claim for debt. Debt stands at £170.

We're looking to get a reliable solicitor who can help us fight this in court, and at least look at our case to advise on best course of action.

Any ideas? Any good firms out there? We've contacted so many but keep getting told that they' don't do such cases anymore.

Your threads are now merged do I hope you have read all the replies.

Tell us which PPC this is about?

And this month, we need you & ALL DRIVERS (I hope the others who responded to you on the other forum board read this & join us too):

PLEASE bookmark this thread below and do Public Consultation if you haven't done it yet. See this thread: -

We need every poster to come back & complete this vital Consultation before the deadline! Just 2 weeks left but please don't rush it. You can do some then save it and come back to it as you have time.

We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that.

Any questions on the Consultation please ask - on the dedicated thread - but I've covered up to question 20 already in that first post, openly telling everyone what I'm going to put and/or what sort of evidence you might wish to use for your response, if you agree with what we'll be saying from our experience.

Whilst your answers must of course be your own, there are vital points to safeguard motorists interests to make, that many people may not think of without our guidance because we see cases every day and we know the legal background. However, people like you have lived & breathed the intimidation, greed and unfairness first hand so your voice is needed!
