Going to court vs getting a court claim are 2 different things. If its ignored long enough the company asks the County Court to get money off you. This is the small claims court. It essentially states in the letter, "This company says you owe them money and have asked us to sort it out. Pay it or write a defence, up to you. If you want to defend it can end up in court later, if the company wants to. If you lose in court you have a month to pay the fine, otherwise you get a CCJ." But chances are you wont lose, just look around this forum and see different issues from people.

It's up to you if you wish to appeal and leave a paper trail of evidence, but do follow the guidance on the newbies thread/page (https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4816822/newbies-private-parking-ticket-old-or-new-read-these-faqs-first-thankyou#latest)

"Thats the full front page.

Now i know there's a red no parking sign visible in this pic but car was parked out the way and for less than 5 mins causing no obstruction."

**********************************************

It is also not a fine.

@Sa95 can't appeal because the back page is blank & this fly-by-night firm hasn't even bothered with putting that option on the NTK nor on the 'in progress' website:

Nobody would pay this lot.

They are not an established parking firm and they will NEVER sue anyone.

Ignore them, @Sa95

Or complain - first to them - and then to IPC and the DVLA, about this crappy new firm:

• not mentioning appeals on the NTK and
• their website appeal isn't even functioning yet so it is as clear as mud how to appeal
• they haven't updated their Privacy Policy since 2019 so it makes no mention of KADOE, or rules about handling complaints & PCN appeals, processing DVLA data, nor sharing data with the IPC or scam DRAs, nor even a mention of GDPR 2018 rights to rectification:

How the heck has the IPC cleared this lot as Code compliant, eh Will Hurley?

@Sa95
Can you get a few close up pics of the supposed 'contractual' signs please?

Still no problem for the DVLA to keep on selling motorists private data to any fly by night outfit.

Half_way

Its nonsense like this that should be used to show the DVLA why the IPC needs to have its ATA status suspended, and then comprehensively reviewed based on past / recent performance in other words how they have dealt with consumers, and the general public.

Your MP also needs to know the public are exposed to this firm's shocking practice due to the failings of the IPC and DVLA. Ensure you copy your MP into any IPC/DVLA complaint.

Looks like a trap to find out if the appellant was driving. Don't answer that but you could reply and say you appealed as registered keeper but can advise that the family has used the service station before, but will never do so again at this rate.

I wouldnt bother replying. This is a trap of admittance to you driving.

Or can say what Coupon-mad said, about being the registered KEEPER.

Received a reply to my appeal.…assume this is a trap?

Yeah it is.

What has a previous visit to the site got to do with this claim, only a fishing exercise amateur outfit that haven't a clue by the looks of it.

However according to Companies House their Director Vijayakumari BALAKUMARAN has started a multitude of different companies over the years (in excess of 7) most with different registered addresses including between 1997 and 2023 Key Parking Services Ltd which has disappeared off the face of the earth and morphed in to Oyslans. I assume he is trying his hand at parking scams again.

According to Facebook people are complaining about receiving PCN's for even queueing 5 and 8 minutes to use the car wash at the garage in question! A typical scammer that the IPC welcomes with open arms!

His current HQ is reportedly at small fry garage in Bedworth.
