Probably bilge, and you can certainly ask the court not to allow it as evidence. But please post up. Nice to see them panicking

Well either chinoky has remembered to do the defence for his idle mate ... ... or his idle mate has succeeded in his goal of losing the court claim.

Open.

Open.

All of us on this site have made mistakes when in legal dispute. That's inevitable. The important thing is to learn from the mistake and get it right next time. One of the fleecers' big problems in these cases is that they know who the registered keeper of the vehicle is -- but not who the driver was. Plenty of people drive other people's cars. My son often drives mine. So that leaves the fleecers with no-one to sue. But you've outed yourself as the driver. So you weren't in the wrong at all. Plenty of cases have been won on the basis of insufficient signage. According to Pennine Five's Wikipedia page the building is owned by RBH Properties which seems to tally with their webpage https://penninefive.com/contact/ https://rbhproperties.co.uk/contact/ So e-mail the owners info@rbhproperties.co.uk and point out that you were a blood donor and you did pay but you were caught out by the confusing signage - and request they get the ticket cancelled. Plenty of cases have been won this way. Plenty have not. Nothing ventured ...

I see yesterday was the deadline to file a defence. I take it that was done? If by some horror it wasn't done we need the person in legal dispute - not chinoky, the person who has the claim against them - on the forum sharpish this evening.

Have you read as far as the happy ending?

Yes, best to include the PCN number and vehicle registration, the poor dears won't be able to find the information otherwise. Make sure you get a free Certificate of Posting as NCP are not very good with SARs. In fact if you want a good laugh read this short thread https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/452147-loc-to-ncp-for-failure-to-supply-sar-paid-in-full/#comments

Not at all. It's your right under data protection laws.

One thing. I see there is a residential building behind the sign. Do you recognise it? Are PE trying to state that there is already this sign at the hospital?

What brilliant digging! Well done. However, we have another NCP thread where their rubbish software didn't take payment and where they didn't respect POFA - but they are still taking the motorist to court in the hope the person will buckle and will give in. So I'm afraid it's the long game when it comes to fighting the fleecers. Certainly get the SAR off. There are other things that are probably wrong with the PCN. It's also highly likely that they will try to pretend that POFA applies until they're challenged by which time they'll have tied themselves in knots.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! Well done on your victory!

Well the good news is that there's nothing to worry about "immediately". The letter is not a Letter of Claim, it's just BW Legal trying to scare your relative into thinking the amount has somehow gone up by £70 when it hasn't. However, it's pretty silly to throw away paperwork when you're in legal dispute. It's even sillier when the dispute is with a private parking company. Maybe the company respected the POFA deadlines for keeper liability. Or maybe they didn't. Who knows? The paperwork is in the bin. Therefore they need to get a SAR off today to NCP (not BW Legal) to get the paperwork back. They should stick in a Council Tax bill or something as ID, otherwise NCP will use the lack of ID as an excuse to not cooperate. Get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office. They also need to so some digging and find out if there are bye-laws. i see Cambridge North is a new station so the bye-laws issue isn't cut & dried. Obviously any proof of attempted payment would be useful too.

I've had to hide your post. You've left reference numbers for both BWLegal and NCP showing.
