Just found this in the post. Exact wording: "26: parked in a special enforcement area more than 50cm from the edge of the carriageway and not within a designated parking space." The use of the term "parked" is sort of confusing me. I had to stop for 2 min in order to pick up a passenger. I never left the vehicle, the engine was always running. Also there is a major gap between the date of contravention and the date of the notice, 55 days to be precise. There are no road markings or signs on the road btw, not even parking bays. Can I challenge it based on any of the above? Picture attached: [ATTACH=CONFIG]52304[/ATTACH]

But what worries me is the fact that under the terms of the agreement it does say that the landlord can refuse to continue with the AST, I get my deposit back minus the 180( admin fees). This is a big issue for me, not only I will be 180 minus but probably will have to pay a hotel room until I find something else. While the landlord losses nothing, and probably gets another tenant willing to pay more. There must be something legally wrong with this.

I was the first person to arrange a viewing for a certain property before it actually went online. I agreed to take it on the spot, the letting agent gave me a ride back to their offices where I signed the below document, paid a hefty holding deposit and agreed on the moving in date. I then left the country and came back today only to get a message from the agency saying that another offer came through and that is not certain that I will be the one to get the property now. I was supposed to move in next TUE, and I am meeting the agent on MON only. Is it really possible that despite me paying a holding deposit I may still lose this place? Is this deposit really worth nothing? If so, can I at least get ALL my money back despite the terms of the payment stating that they might keep the admin charges. I also noticed that one day later after paying my deposit, the property started to get advertised online, with a higher asking price, with the latest ad dated only yesterday! What are my options here please? I am desperate to move in since I gave my current landlord my notice 2 weeks ago and I need to vacate.
