Because I'd never ever go to TS where private remedy is so easily available. And because - on the assumptions NCP gets money from Cockfosters for about 10 tickets per day and I can find a volunteer - I'd much rather make them pay back a million quid (the money paid, 10 x 50 x 2000 days).

No. The Court, probably and quite rightly, would take a dim view of such cynical behaviour. That's why I said "prior to today".

Thanks, but it's now too late for them to avoid Court unless they pay me out. I'm not posting here to help my own case, that'll only be worth injunctive relief (my main purpose) plus maybe a few hundred quid. I'm looking for someone who's actually paid them prior to today for a ticket at that station, someone who still has the ticket and proof of payment. Together with the evidence they were dumb enough to put in my hands, I can use that to make NCP pay back all the fines successfully levied at that station over the last six years.

To all victims of NCP at this car park - this may be of interest even if you have already paid the fine. I received a standard template letter through the post from NCP saying I hadn't paid a £50 parking ticket for allegedly parking in a disabled spot. I replied in the only way I could - using their internet pay mechanism to make what they called an "appeal" - as follows. I get an apparently conciliatory eight-page reply which I append to this message as individual files. More soon. There are serious technical defects in the supposed ticket, but in the end I chose not to point them out. Much worse, they quoted statute that could not possibly apply to Cockfosters. Again I chose not to point this out as I assumed they had simply referred to the wrong legislation. In the event I replied again electronically as follows: To which, with a stupidity matched only by arrogance, they were stupid enough to reply with a two-page letter as appended: I'm now going to write back to them claiming some money. However the reason I'm posting here is I'm interested in finding out if there is anyone on this forum who has actually paid a "penalty notice" at this (Cockfosters) NCP car park but would like to get their money back. docs1.pdf
