Thanks Dave, I have sent the snotty letter no2's now. Presumably I can just change the date for each of the two letter templates I have now set up, and keep replying with the same identical letters?

Thanks Dave, I tried to update the previous thread but it said 'thread closed' am I doing something wrong? Do you think this is going to continue where they just keep sending me a letter every few months in the hope that I move house or miss one so they can CCJ me? If so is there some way I can draw it to a close and force them to show their hand? I will do as suggested, and thanks again for the help - really appreciate it. Interested in your view on the above though. Cheers, Ed

Hi All, Here's a link to the saga so far... (which, towards the end of the thread, links back to the original post, so this is now my third post on the same claim from AP) A summary... 2 x tickets for 'incorrect reg' even though I have evidence of payment for each one. I have explained to AP that they have been paid, but they replied saying I contravened blah blah. I got as far as sending 2 x snotty letters back in Feb. Today I had the pleasure of receiving two separate LOCs... (both identical but with different dates/locations). Not sure what to do next?! LOC PDF.pdf

Thanks Both. So should be OK as long as I tell the DVLA if I move?

Yep - See post on Jan 26th - was something along these lines...

OK so just had this through... what's next? Alliance Parking.pdf

One I have the parking ticket for (driver entered our other vehicle reg). The app one defaulted to a car I sold years ago. I emailed the app company within 24hrs of the mistake (have an email conf of this and for receipt too). Both wrong reg, so obviously neither of the reg numbers provided used the car park that day, so they got paid both times. And I have been registered keeper of both incorrect reg nos used. Interesting they sent both LoCs on the same day even though the 'offences' almost a month apart.

Let's hope the Govt pull their finger out and get the law clarified. It's wrong to allow such a massive legal grey area to persist when these with these predators are operating inside it.

Yes that's correct - they both arrived on the same day

Something like this OK? Ref numbers X and Y Your two Letters Of Claim arrived today, and unsurprisingly follow the same deluded view that I might pay you money that you aren’t legally entitled to. As I have stated, can prove, and you well know, the correct parking charges were received on both occasions, and you suffered no loss. Typing a registration number incorrectly is clearly "de minimis". Every time a scummy private parking company like yours has taken such cases to court, they have been lambasted by the judge. Getting the registration number wrong is not a reason for pursuing motorists, as established when Baroness Walmsley v TFL [2005] EWHC 896, in the High Court of Justice, won her case. I also refer you to paragraph 6.3 of the government Code of Practice. While I am the registered keeper of the vehicle, I was not driving it on either occasion. Should this case go to court despite having pointed out the futility of doing so, I will be asking the Court for an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to never hearing from you. Signed... PS: To the poor person processing this letter… why don’t you think about a career change. Surely they’re not paying you enough to sit there trying to rip innocent people off and cheat them out of money they don’t owe your crooked bosses? Why not get a job as a surf instructor, a lifeguard, a builder or a hairdresser – something that does good and helps people? There are loads of career opportunities like this in Newquay… so go on, stand up, tell your boss what you really think of them, walk out, and never ever have to wake up in the morning feeling like you’re selling your soul to the devil again! Good luck

Legend - thanks Dave! PS: Do I need to do anything else now, or just wait?

Thanks HB. I found this one on another thread: Dear Yasmin & Jamie, cheers for your Letter of Claim. I rolled around on the floor in mirth at the idea you actually thought I'd take such tripe seriously and cough up! I know you pretend your greedy client can add Unicorn Food Tax and claim £160 for these PCNs. So the five times table. 5 times £160 now equals £1600 does it? it didn't when I went to school. I pity your client if that utter rubbish attempt at respecting the Pre-Action Protocol found itself in front of a judge. Your company does seem to have problems with basic mathematics. I suggest you study for your KS1 SATs which is about your level. This is all aside from the fact that your client was made well aware way back in 2018 that I had every right to use that car park, and I can prove it. Should this case go to court despite having pointed out the futility of doing so, I will be asking the Court for an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g), and then spending it all on a nice, pleasant holiday while all the time laughing at your client's expense. I look forward to your deafening silence. COPIED TO UK PARKING CONTROL LTD I might write my own though as the above doesn't seem to apply - i.e. their letter isn't from a solicitor, etc. The key points seem to be: 1. I got your LOC 2. You have been paid in full for the parking on both occasions 3. I have proof (as do you) that this is the case 4. Please take me to court so a judge can make an example of you, including reimbursing me for the costs I will be claiming 5. Bye Anything wrong / missing? I guess I can't just ignore this letter too? I don't mind going to court - I can prove I paid for parking on both occasions Thanks for the help!

Hi everyone, Further to my original post regarding two PCNs from Alliance (one with physical ticket for the wrong reg, another was paid via the app for the wrong reg), I have now received the corresponding LOCs... Hope this is sufficient info. Would really appreciate any advice on Next Steps. Apologies if I missed something in the Stickys - I couldn't see anything that seemed to match... Thanks in advance wonderful people! 2023-01-23 letter of claim.pdf

@lookinforinfo I can’t believe I’m writing this but my wife went out in the van yesterday a d took the kids to the same beach. I’ve just been cleaning the sand out and found a ticket for that day with her cars reg number on as opposed to the van she was driving!! Do you have any advice at this stage? Just wait for the PCN or should I attempt to head this off at the pass and write to them informing them of the mistake?

Thanks that is quite likely so I’ll file the PCN with a post it note for change of address to them and DVLA. Cheers everyone
