Claim Form has arrived in post- what are my options?

If there is nothing in your tenancy agreement / lease saying that you can be charged an exorbitant amount for failing to display a permit, then you are in a good position.

Yes.

If you lose in court and pay in full within a month of the judgement then it is removed (expunged!) from the records

Absolutely go for it and beat this 'outrageous scam' (Hansard)! :T

Show us your draft defence & include the fact they didn't supply any information when you requested it.

to throw another spanner in the works i now only have 2 days remaining to send the forms back to the court as I've spent the past week trying to find a way out of this....

Riiight, so we hope you've now done the online AOS, as shown in pictures in the NEWBIES thread (very easy), and extended your time to defend to 28 days?

Your landlord is required by the HMR&C to keep a copy of the AST for at least five years. Also, if you used a letting agent they will have a copy. Neighbours also be able to help

Whether you win or lose depends on how the lease is worded, normally a lease is all you need to park in your place, it is called Promacy of Contract, google it.so you need to make a strenuous effort to obtain it.

This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors.

Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, and another company have already been named and shamed, as has Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each year). They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

Hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned.

The problem has become so rampant that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. Watch the video of the Second Reading in the HofC recently.

and complain in the most robust terms to your MP. With a fair wind they will be out of business by Christmas.
