Royalblue,

 

Just to clarify, was your daughter actually parked in a Parent / Child space, rather than next to a Parent / Child space?

[Nicky Boy]

So, she parked over the line because the car in the next bay was encroaching into her space, meaning she had to do likewise to open the doors to get her children out of the car safely...

For goodness sake, it's a Parent / Child space for that very reason!

 

They'd be idiots to take that one to court.

 

I'd bet the only reason they've taken it this far is because of no reply from the victim, they think it's an easy back door CCJ!

 

Guys... Considering the above, might it be worth a snotty letter at this late stage?

[Nicky Boy]

Ignore the offer completely.

Reply telling them in no uncertain terms that email is not to be used for any further communication.

Then block their email address.

 

Also send a 2nd class letter confirming that email is not to be used.

Don't forget your free proof of postage.

Looks like the fleecers may be learning CAGGER tactics ignore until letter of claim arrives

What's the status on MCOL?

BPA Code of practice:

9.5 You must not use predatory or misleading tactics to lure drivers into incurring parking charges. Such instances will be viewed as a serious and sanctionable instance of non-compliance and may go to the Professional Conduct Panel.

Just had a look back through the thread and only seen 1 photo and there is no "period of parking" stipulated on any of their rubbish paperwork.

 

BPA Code of practice:

13 Consideration and Grace Periods

13.1 The driver must have the chance to consider the Terms and Conditions before entering into the ‘parking contract’ with you. If, having had that opportunity, the driver decides not to park but chooses to leave the car park, you must provide them with a reasonable consideration period to leave, before the driver can be bound by your parking contract. The amount of time in these instances will vary dependant on site size and type but it must be a minimum of 5 minutes.

 

"Parking fully within a marked bay" may have been one of the aforementioned "terms and conditions".

Soooo, the driver quite possibly left the car park within the 5 minutes "consideration period", did they? Your daughter, the keeper, probably won't know. (She may not have been driving the car.)

The fleecers have to prove that the driver stayed more than 5 minutes, so were there any more (time stamped) pics?

Only asking because in post 58 you said... "images taken by attendant" (plural).

[Nicky Boy]

In Dave's words... Ho Ho!

Hope you're taking notes for your WS...
