thanks Bazzas didn't think I had a leg to stand on really just wanted to see what other people thought. Suppose my only option is to go with he flow and wait it out until they move.

Hi, I have just recently (about 1 month ago) got and accepted a new permanent role with a fairly large company. I am due to start work with this company on the 17th June- however yesterday I was advised by them the office was potentially going to move down south (about 250 miles away) within the next 6 months. I wasn't made aware of this until yesterday and they are saying they have only just found out themselves. They have give me the option of relocating (which im not going to do) retracing the offer acceptance or working with the company until they move and then be left with no job. I would like some advise as to were I stand with this as I have handed my notice in with my current employer (my role has been filled so no chance of my job back). Any advise is much appreciated. Thank you

ok so its been near 2 weeks and still no reply? can i add this to the defence?

cheers ericsbrother I sent them a letter today, Will see what they come back with.

Ok so i have found out the owner of the land Yorkshire Co-operative don't know if this info could help me or not.

Just seen ericbrother post thanks for the offer but the car park is in Halifax Yorkshire I think its might be a bit out for for a detour lol.

Just had a drive up to take some pics of the signs, seems a couple have been put up since October. See attached. What's the success rate when these things go to court, is it 50/50?

Hi, yes I have returned the acknowledgement back to say I will defend the claim in its entirety. I just need to write up a defence now but would like some advise on how to word it. I may go back and get pictures of the signs first but its a good 30mins drive away! Cheers

See attached PDF with photos of the car park. since October 2013 (post the PCN) they have put up some signs for the permit sections, would this effect my defence?

sorry the date is 10/10/13 on the ticket, the first letter arrived 12/11/13 Many Thanks

the claim states - The claim relates to an unpaid contractual parking charge for not displaying a valid permit or authority. The permit holders parking is not separated from the customers car park with anything,(its a small shopping outlet) The was no signs upon entry to the main car park and certainly no signs when crossing into the permit holders, I have been back to the car park and the closest sign from the entrance to the permit section almost 30 foot away and is not noticeable as its so small. I have been and taken pictures of the entrance to the car park and entry to the so called permits only section. The ticket was placed on my car the beginning of October last year and the first notice letter was received 4 weeks later. I'm just not sure how i would word the defence. This is what is on the claim form. Claim against Mr for parking charge issued to vehicle on land named••••••••• This land is managed by UKCPS Ltd and vehicles parked at the site are subject to parking restrictions which are set out on signs at the site and form a contract between the driver of the vehicle and UKCPS Ltd.

I've attached the court letter, I also have all corresponding letters & the PCN would these help as well? Many thanks with this. Regards rockfire

Thanks for the reply F16, The papers come through Thursday morning, Not sure where to start to be honest. Hope somebody can point me in the right direction! Many Thanks Rockfire.

Hello fellow motorists, I have received a claimform from Northampton County Court from a PCN UKCPS stuck on my windscreen in October 2013, I have acknowledged the letter but need some help in writing up a defence. I must start by saying I did ignore letters received by UKCPS which now I obviously know doesn't work any more. I parked in a car park which is split into 2 parts, 1 half if for customers of a store and the other half is permit holder only, The permit holders only section where I was parked has no signs (at the time of the PCN being issued) to say a permit is needed or that there is any parking restrictions to park there. They have installed signs recently though. There is also no signs upon entering the car park which are visible. I just don't know how to word such a defence i'm not very good at this legal malarkey so any help will be very much appreciated. The claimform says the following Claim against MR for outstaying a parking charge issued to vehicle * on the land named this land is managed by UKCPS Lts and vehicles parked at the site are subject to parking restrictions set out on signs at the site and form a contract between the driver of the vehicle and UKCPS lts. Mr or driver who may have been the driver or alternatively has chosen not to name the driver and is therefore responsible for the payment as required under Schedule 4 of Protection of freedom act 2012 by parking on this land a driver contractually agrees to pay a charge of #100 for use of the space. The amount remains unpaid and stands at #150 including costs incurred in collection.
