Thank you so much for helping me with this - I was looking through the photos I had of the signage and it is awful. And your mention of the Unicorn Food Tax added on every time they write. Your amended reply is certainly a lot snottier than I would normally dare to do but it certainly tells them clearly! I will prepare the letter and get it sent off tomorrow making sure I get the proof of posting Thank you!

Ha - thanks yes I like this - coincidentally I have just been looking at my photos of the signage and thinking how bad it was and did not comply with any of the guidance listed even by ipc.

Thanks for your reply - I will have a look at the first paragraph again. They do mention the Beavis case in a 'frequently asked questions' paragraph on the reverse of the letter - it is quoted in reply to a printed question of 'I have read online that charges of this nature are not enforceable in law, is this correct?' their reply was 'There is zero merit in this statement, indeed parking operators have successfully enforced Parking Charge debts via the County Courts for a number of years; the most famous case being in the Supreme Court of Appeal (Baevis v ParkingEye 2015)'

The company are members of IPC only. I have drafted the following letter to reply to the Letter of Claim: I have received your letter dated and noted its contents. Your letter has a clear heading of ‘Letter to Claim’. Being, as I am, aware of the current Civil Procedure regulations, I cannot accept your poor attempt of a letter to be anywhere near a worthy Letter of Claim as it comes nowhere near to meeting the current Civil Procedure Regulations and I expect a court to summarily dismiss any claim later made by you or your client on that basis. However, due to your reputation and history, I would expect nothing less from you. So you fully understand I deny that any monies are owed to your client by me. The same applies to the inflated amount of the claim, the POFA and contract law are very clear on this point and again plenty of examples of dismissed claims are in the public domain. Your letter stating the misquoting the decision of PE v Beavis makes it look like you have never read the full judgement but like the other rent a threats see it as a panacea for justifying any old coddswallop you care to trot out in your correspondence It would be wise if you looked at the total shambles and lack of any claim you have and admitted it is not in your client’s interests to continue with this matter as there is no cause for action and I shall seek a full costs recover order for any civil claim made under the unreasonableness criteria. So you are aware I have moved address to - this is my correspondence address, should you wish to confirm your decision not to bother me anymore with this. I will send this off tomorrow - is this sounding like an appropriate snotty letter

here is the letter . It is marked as a Letter of Claim I attach the pdf files below I have attached it again- hopefully its readable this time letter of claim.pdf

I have today received a letter from Alliance Parking advising me that unless I pay the money they will start court proceedings and telling me that I should visit their site to get their defendant response pack before I then goto the Alternative Dispute Resolution Service to give my defense to settle the matter - who for this case will be The Independent Appeals Service approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute - it advises this will cost me £15 and is completed online. I have yet to contact Alliance Parking about anything to do with this case. I have read on a few websites that an Independent Appeals Service will be unlikely to be on my side as it is funded by the parking companies? Should I now be contacting Alliance Parking and ask for this defendant's pack or is this then giving them contact with me, or should I be ignoring this letter and waiting for them to start court proceedings. I have recently moved house so once my redirection of mail stops in the next couple of months they will not be able to contact me. The parking ticket was put on the car window screen on 21/12/19, the next correspondence was 22/04/20 reminding me to pay or face action (no photos have been provided by them), then a letter on 04/11/20 advising that I needed to pay £100 and if I didn't by 18 November they were going to forward my case to their litigation dept to start court proceedings, then todays letter.

Hi - thanks for your email. I will get some more photos of the area and surroundings. Thanks again

Hi, thanks for your email - I didn't put the photos up again as I posted them back in december when the pcn was received - on the photos I circled in black where the car was parked and also tried to get a photo of the area in the dark when the pcn was received. Many thanks

Hi, thanks for your email. Yes I have plenty of photos which I took shortly after getting the pcn. I have the no parking signs, road markings marking the no parking area (which are nor clear due to recent resurfacing) plus photos at night when the pcn was issued as the no parking signs are not in a well lit area. Thanks

Thanks - hopefully this will be the case! maybe millennium group as they had their registered office there. Thanks again

Hi Thanks for your email! I agree that I think I will here from this further - I just dont trust them so I am very grateful for all the help I am getting from this site! Many thanks

Hi, thanks for your email and the article - it made interesting reading. I can not fully understand what is happening with these two companies and the millenium parking mentioned when I looked at the Companies house site - other than AS parking compulsory strike off in march.

Hi Thanks for your email - and the information on the company! I have had a quick search on AS parking and Alliance parking on some other forums and it didnt take long to find plenty of posts (linking the two companies). I will wait and see if /when I get the next correspondence from them. Thank you again - I am learning a lot!

Hi, thanks for your reply and advice - very much appreciated thank you. I have read through the POFA and have seen the paragraph advising that they should give their evidence. I have also noticed that the NTK tells me that as 21 days have passed from the PCN issue date I am no longer allowed to appeal - this doesnt seem right to me. I am not going to contact anyone and will wait and see if I receive anything else from them. Thanks again for your help.

Hi Thanks for your email With regards to photos, I have double checked the parking charge notice - it states in brackets under the notes for 'Contesting this Notice' that 'mindful that the issuing officer has taken photographic evidence'. I looked at the appeals procedure to see if it would link to any photos but it appears that the appeal is me only submitting an email - so I would not be able to access any photos to the case online. Thank you for your time.
