Could you let us know the particulars of claim Horizon used?
Letting us know your surname would also be useful. That way people with similar Horizon claims could use your Order in their defences ie. they'd cite Smith v Horizon.Wouldn't set a precedent, but would be persuasive.1 -
One thing I couldn't understand was the claim for "£80 for the PCN, £70 contractual costs.." The signage, in it's sun bleached glory, references a £70 Parking Charge Notice. I assumed that in the event of a court hearing they would simply ask for the claim to be adjusted? Perhaps other locations are signed as £80?

I have tried to upload an image of the claim form a couple of times. Not sure why I can't see it here.Car1980 said:Could you let us know the particulars of claim Horizon used?0 -

Particulars of claim.

They cannot have a sign stating £70 (this is the alleged contract you entered into) and then claim it was £80 in court, as far as I have seen Tesco/Horizon signs all say £70 even now.Those Particulars of Claim are totally inadequate, no wonder it was thrown out.The signage photo is dreadful obviously old and out of date, it won't be there now I would bet.3

Nothing new! There are several examples here of Gladstones / Horizon claims ALWAYS being exaggerated by a tenner:

See the Gladstones Claim examples there.
I think it is because Horizon add a tenner after the first month, and thus, I think ALL their cases are always wrong by £10 when the software transfers to Gladstones.
Who clearly cannot be bothered to put it right and are making extra money for no reason in every CCJ case paid.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
