Hello I could use some help -

 

On 1 January 2018 I visited Margate and paid and parked in the town.

 

Having finished the visit it was becoming dark and I was driving back towards Ramsgate when the satellite navigation system on my phone jammed.

I pulled off the road into an empty car park (the Lido) which looked closed and run down, to attend safely to the satellite system on the mobile phone.

 

when I had gotten the navigation system working again I tried to find my way back onto the main road again.

There are a number of posts missing from the side of the car park which lead onto a road which I mistook for the exit.

 

At a certain point I realised this was not an exit but in fact Newgate Promenade so I then turned the car around and drove back towards the road by the way that I had entered.

 

When I received the pcn from Parking Eye they included 2 dark pictures with only headlight and number plate visible

- entering (16.47) and leaving (16.57) the time difference being 10 minutes.

I had no idea they were taking pictures on the site I suspect there are no signs stating this fact.

 

Since then I appealed to parking eye and then POPLA I include a pdf of the appeal to POPLA,

I didn't get any advice on legal arguments and they both turned it down.

 

They also refused the pictures of missing posts that I copied from google street view saying they were from 2015 while offering no possibility to provide recent pictures but simply discarding that claim

 

(I include as attachment the POPLA verdict).

 

Now I have received a claim form dated 23 July 2018 from the County Court Business Centre for £175. I would usually pay a parking fine to avoid the hassle but as I find this so unfair I continue to wish to contest it.

 

I have only a few days left to send in my defence the court has given me an email address, I have untill 4pm this Tuesday (28 Aug 2018).

I believe the defence needs to cover any points I wish to make so I need to sort them out very quickly.

 

I have been reading about the very similar case of

'yourturntopay'

[Parking Eye claimform - ANPR PCN Lido car park, Cliftonville, Kent BB on Display]

which sounds very similar only I was in the other half of the car park which has a bigger sign by the entrance but otherwise looks the same.

 

I wonder if it would be possible to use the same arguments?

 

My arguments in the POPLA appeal

(in the pdf attachment Parking Ticket Margate 1-1-18 redacted)

were that

I never intended to park

I pulled over for road safety concerns to fix the sat-nav.

Because the posts in the car park were missing I mistook the exit route and thus prolonging the stay this being due to the bad state of repair of car park.

It was only 10 minutes in total so petty to try to charge

 

I didn't mention the fact that it was badly lit, and I believe the notice board by the entrance is not lit but I didnt know if this would be an acceptable argument at the time and didnt mention it.

Also I am unaware what courtesy period Parking eye allow as to give a ticket after only 10 minutes seems extreme.

 

Unfortunately I live in London so taking pictures of the car park and checking the condition is pretty difficult and would mean a 5 hour trip.

 

-Any advice/suggestions on how best to proceed would be much appreciated

- I have to send in my defence (the court has given me an email address) by 4pm this Tuesday (28 Aug 2018) so only 3 days left.

 

I thought a courtesy period of 10 minutes was law but I’m not sure where I saw that now?,

does anybody know if parking eye allow a courtesy period in their car parks as one would imagine 10 minutes to be reasonable?

Name of the Claimant ? Parking Eye

claimants Solicitors: Rosanna Breaks

 

Date of issue – 23 July 2018

top right hand corner of the claim form – this in order to establish the time line you need to adhere to.

 

Date of issue XX ? I rang the court and they told the Acknowledgment of service has been filed on 14 August 2018 and that the defence had to be in by Tuesday 28 Aug 4pm

+ 19 days ( 5 day for service + 14 days to acknowledge) = XX + 14 days to submit defence = XX (33 days in total) -

 

What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim? Please type out their particulars of claim (verbatim) less any identifiable data and round the amounts up/down.

(Particulars of Claim are in the box to left of the N1 page 1)

 

Claim for monies outstanding from the defendant, in relation to a Parking Charge, issued 06/01/2018, for parking on private land in breach of the terms and conditions (the contract). ParkingEye's automated number plate recognition system, monitoring Lido (2), Ethelbert Terrace, Margate, Kent, CT9 1RX, captured vehicle ------- entering and leaving the car park, parking without purchasing a valid paid parking ticket. The signage, which is clearly displayed at the entrance and throughout the site, states this is private land, is managed by ParkingEye, and is a paid parking site, along with other T+C’s by which those who park on site agree to be bound. In accordance with the T+C's set out in the signage, the Parking Charge became payable. The defendant previously had their appeal rejected by POPLA, the independent appeals service for parking on private land.

This claim is in reference to Parking Charge(s) -------------

 

I'll upload the claim form as well

Hi,

thanks for the reply,

 

I sent an email to CCBC on the 23rd (see below) as I'd also worked out the date as 24th

as you see I asked for extra time so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it

 

I spoke to them on the phone and the guy worked it out, made a call and then came back and gave me that date on Tuesday so not sure if that was because of my email?

 

Unfortunately I was in the car and didn't record the conversation.

I remember he called someone to check so I hope Tuesday is correct.

I'll try calling again 2moro to make sure - and record the call.

 

If the date for defence is Tuesday should I send a CRP 31:14 to Parking Eye tomorrow?

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I sent an 'acknowledgement of service' form to you and to [---------------] by email on 13th August, in the auto response I was assured a response within 5-10 days however I have received no response and am now unsure what is happening. (as I explained I was working abroad when the letter arrived and my response was slightly over the impractical 14 day period allowed to respond)

 

I wish to contest the unfair claim against me but have received no information from yourselves on how to do this or if my acknowledgement of service form has been received or accepted? The claim form states I must send a defence to the court no later than 28 days from the 'date of service' I have no experience of such a court proceeding and have been waiting for your response.

 

I would ask that you allow extra time to present a defence in light of the fact I have received no confirmation of the 'acknowledgement of service’ being accepted.

 

 

kind regards

OK I understand that my original letter is not going to accomplish anything,

 

and that I should send a 'CPR' to their solicitor asap using the suggested format relating to my case

 

But regarding my defence to the court that I need to submit - that I'm obviously hoping won't be too late - but at the moment I'm not clear what I should put in it which is what I was also hoping to find out thru advice from here.

Hi, thanks for your help

I'm trying to write this CRP 31:14 but am unfamiliar with these terms meanings

It states basically I should ask for these docs if they are mentioned in the claim form they sent

Great thanks regarding date of receiving the claim form I mentioned I was abroad working when it arrived so only received the claim at the last minute

also I changed the sentence... "each of the following document(s) mentioned" to "in regards to" (as I wasn't sure if the documents requested were actually mentioned?

 

it now reads: "Please treat this letter as my request made under CPR 31.14 for the disclosure and the production of a verified and legible copy of each of the following document(s) in regards to your Particulars of Claim"

 

Just mention this in case the wording was a legal requirement.

 

 

 

Going to post this now and then work on the defence which I presume so far will be about

 

bad lighting - no lamp posts

bad sinage?

bad condition of car park - posts missing

Can I claim 10 minutes I was in the car park should be within a grace-curtesy period?

OK thanks i saw your message before I sent it so I'll just send as is with my details, its a bank holiday 2moro so I presume it won't make any difference to post 2moro.

I read various threads before I registered and on some other sites, but not as many as I'd like too as I've arrived a little late!! but I'll read some more,

thanks for the advice.

Wow

I just found on my computer the pdf file from Parking eye which I thought I'd lost with

- "all information sent to POPLA regarding your recent verification code"

 

in the file they explain their grace period is 10 minutes minimum! [see below] and yet their £100 parking charge states "time in car park 10 minutes".

 

How can they be fining me in contradiction to their own terms is that not bizarre

Would I be wrong in presuming that this means they have no case?

 

I'll try to upload the file 2moro but I need to find out how to redact a pdf file.

 

Grace period

ParkingEye operates a minimum grace period of ten minutes or more on all sites which gives the motorist time to enter a car park, park, and establish whether or not they wish to be bound by the terms and conditions of parking.

 

A grace period of 10 minutes or more is in place at this site which is fully compliant with clauses 13.2 and 30.2 of BPA code of practice which states

 

‘If the parking location is one where parking is normally permitted, you must allow the driver a reasonable grace period in addition to the parking event before enforcement action is taken. In such instances the grace period must be a minimum of 10 minutes’.

Hi yourturntopay thanks I was wondering whether to ask you that question!

There are some pictures from parking eye of the car park in the pdf I'm about to upload so be interesting to read yours/peoples thoughts especially as its pretty difficult to get back from London to check it again - and in 10 minutes in the dark I didnt really get a good feel for the place! :)

 

Here is the redacted pdf from parking eye of all the info they sent to POPLA for my appeal. I wonder would this have relevance to the CRP 31:14 I am going to post to PE?.

 

They include pictures of signs and their explanation for basis of their authority to issue PCN's, and their policy of allowing 10 minutes or more grace period to enter a car park, park, and establish whether or not one wishes to be bound by the terms and conditions of parking.

 

Would be great to have some advise on..

 

if CRP 31:14 is good to send as it is and doesn't need any adjusting

 

any thoughts on best defence (should I just claim 10 minutes 13 seconds is within their grace period or are there any other points that stand out?)

 

Any other thoughts much appreciated

Thanks

I was wondering if I should add this point to the defence from your suggested defence page?

 

4. It is denied that the Claimant entered into a contract with the Defendant. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the carpark is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. The proper Claimant is the landowner.

 

 

 

In light of the below statement from Parking Eye which may or may not be a generic claim? Would it harm the case if it was proven incorrect?

 

Authority

ParkingEye can confirm that the above site is on private land, is not council owned and that we have written authority to operate and issue Parking Charge Notices at this site from the landowner (or landowner’s agent).

It must also be noted that any person who makes a contract in his own name without disclosing the existence of a principal, or who, though disclosing the fact that he is acting as an agent on behalf of a principal, renders himself personally liable on the contract, is entitled to enforce it against the other contracting party. (Fairlie v Fenton (1870) LR 5 Exch 169). It follows that a lawful contract between ParkingEye and the motorist will be enforceable by ParkingEye as a party to that contract.

Also is it worth mentioning that the posts were missing in the car park (as I mistook the road outside the posts for the exit which it wasn't and thus extended time in the car park -

 

In connection is it worth mentioning there is no lighting and car park is in bad state of repair? There are pictures on google from 2015 showing broken posts
