Advice needed: CLAIM form received on charge given for parking in own resident space

Papier_mache

I've now had this response from my management company:

Thank you for providing us with the evidence of the tickets that have been received.
We have reviewed your evidence and comments against the Leases and set up of the development and can confirm this space is the responsibility of the Leaseholder and not that of XXXXXXXXXX Co. Ltd. With this in mind, we will be reaching out to NPC to request these tickets are expunged as in theory NPC have patrolled and ticketed a bay that XXXXXXXXXXXX Co. Ltd have given them permissions to do so when it isn’t XXXXXXXXXXXXX Co. Ltd’s right to give those permissions. We would like to apologies for any confusion and inconveniences this has caused and would note that we are on your side in this circumstance.

I think that concretely ends the matter unless NPC are silly enough to keep pursuing this further.   When they expunge these tickets I've received I assume the court claim will just be cancelled as well and I won't need to submit a defense?

Definitely continue with your defence, (there's no "s" in defence), because there are no guarantees when it comes to parking companies.

Eek no: you MUST DEFEND because the legal firm are like a conveyor belt & the claim will continue to a CCJ if you fail to defend.

As I mentioned, read this:

Further action: This month, we need you:.

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.

Finally, reply to that and thank them for confirming that NPC have no right to enter your bay or run a commercial racket offering it for £100 a day, and as such you are tearing up your joke 'permit' and your bay is officially opted OUT of this unwanted money-grabbing (for NPC) set up.

Copy in NPC's complaints email.

You need to draw a line under this and STOP displaying a permit, going forward, or it looks like you are acceding to this interference with your lease.

Even more finally(!) spread the word with neighbours and share that email that admits they had no right. I bet others have claim forms too. They MUST defend claims; they can't be ignored or everyone affected gets CCJs.

The charge was issued for not displaying a permit.  It's the same with blue badges.  It doesn't matter if your lost it, or it fell down....it needs to be clearly visible for the parking warden.
The T&C clearly state that you need to have a valid permit clearly displayed on the windscreen.

Not the case on private land when a resident has a demised space. As proven now by the MA admitting NPC had no right.

@Papier_mache

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 (residential cases are especially heinous harassment and you are currently being SUED for using your own property) so your voice is needed!
