What an absolutely rubbish LoC asking you to pay someone else! As you've corresponded with them before let us have a read through your thread from the start, then we'll suggest something.

Point taken that we should inform new Caggers that the £20 option is there in wrong registration cases. Well, supposedly there, who knows what the PPCs would do in practice. Anyway, the option is allegedly there with both the BPA as you say, but also the IPC (I've just checked). However, there's a danger here of baby, bathwater. The two easiest types of cases to win are (a) residential - due to Supremacy of Contract and (b) wrong registration - due to "de minimis". Indeed until recently we has been boasting that no Caggers, over two years, who had sent a PPC the wrong registration snotty letter, had even been taken to court, let alone lost a court hearing. We simply can do nothing about a terrible judge. The judge seems - I say seems because we haven't had all the details - to have ignored "de minimis",. got fixated on a sign and awarded unreasonable behaviour costs. A totally bizarre judgement.

Yes, await the Directions Questionnaire from the court. No, the Directions Questionnaire is just a short form and leads to the case being transferred from MCOL/CCBC to your local court. If you Google "Form N180" you can see a blank copy on government web pages.

Open.

I would guess so dx which is why I've asked the OP to upload the original invoice.

Any update here?

Well done on reading the other threads. If ECP haven't got the guts to do court then there is no reason to pay them. From other threads there is a 35-minute free stay after which you need to pay, with the signs hidden where no-one will read them. Which probably explains why ECP threaten this & threaten that, but in the end daren't do court. As for your employer - well you can out yourself as the driver to ECP so the hamster bedding will arrive at yours. Get your employer to do that using the e-mail address under Appeals and Transfer Of Liability.

Any update here? I ask as we have someone new being hassled for parking at this site.

What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers. Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.

This is simply a scam site. It's been shown to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. Please fill in the the forum sticky and upload the invoice you've received. In fact what you have is an invoice, not a fine, a private company doesn't have the power to issue fines.

Moved to the Private Parking forum.

Andy and dx are spot on. We find that if someone fails to file the DQ/N180, then the court gives them a second bite at the cherry. It's only after a second failure that the defence is struck out and the case lost. So you'll be alright. However, this failure to respect court orders has to stop. You're in a legal battle. If you're away from home for an extended period make damn sure someone is checking your mail.
