Yes very good news in deed! 5.5 million they raked inlast year.....not bad for a run down filty car park that towers above a derelict shopping centre. One of the only restaurant owners left on the edge ofthe precinct got a 100.00 charge and why? .....because his passenger wheels were touching the white line.

Just sickening to see them getting away with it. So glad i stuck with it.

If you're waiting for information from the PPC/solicitor that's relevant to your defence, still get ready and have as much drafted as you can. Work on the assumption that they are not going to reply in time, so you put notes in about not being given full information, sparse particulars of claim etc and request that you be given leave to submit an amended defence once you have all the details of the claim that you have requested from them.

thank you FTMDave. No i didnt go for costs. I know i should have done but it was never about the money for me but the principal.

No you can only file ONCE

you had 32 days from the day the claim was issued so if 12 days have elasped you have another 14 days plus time for the response to work its way through the postal system.

They will behave unreasonably and hope to get away with it

Ask the claims department for the underwriters for the reserve amount they have set against it. Make sure the new insurer knows the claim is ongoing, and how you got the figure if you go with them.
