Hi, The only time I have faced something like this was when I mistakenly parked in a contract space at Fort Dunlop, Birmingham. I wrote a letter explaining my mistake and the fine was cancelled. I now find myself being threatened with Court action and ultimately a CCJ if I don't pay a PCN charge for "stopping" at Calder Park Estate in Wakefield on the 10th August 2017, somewhere I had never been before. I was sent 3 photographs of me stopping for a total of 29 seconds opposite the turning into my client's car park where I had a reserved space for a meeting. I wrote back and explained that the lid of my coffee (which I had just bought from Starbucks on the edge of the estate) had come off and covered me in scalding coffee. It was unsafe at that time to drive on so I swung the car to the left to pull the hot clothes from my body. If it hadn't been an emergency I had no reason to stop because I had a reserved space in my client's car park. As you can imagine my appeal was rejected. I then did a quick search on the internet and read that I should ignore any correspondence, which I did. After reading more I believe that this has changed. I have now received a Letter of Claim from BW Legal explaining that if I don't pay they have been instructed to take me to the County Court with an estimated claim fee: Principal Debt + Initial Legal Costs £160.00 Estimated Interest £4.36 Estimated Court Fees £25.00 Estimated Solicitors Fees £50.00 Estimated Total £239.36 I need to either pay £160 or explain why I am not paying by the 5th April. Apparently, the client is willing to enter into a payment arrangement which is affordable for my financial circumstances. The £160 is made up of the principal balance - £100 plus £60 debt recovery costs. If payment or a response is not received they will issue a County Court Claim. In the envelope they have enclosed a reply form giving me several options/tick boxes: I agree I owe the debt I owe some of the debt but not all of it I don't know whether I owe the debt I dispute the debt (I can explain why in a separate document) I will pay what I owe now I will pay but need time to pay I am getting or intend to get legal advice And then another section where I can request documents from them e.g. a copy of the written contract for the debt. As with everyone else on this site, I don't agree with the charge and it feels more like extortion. Can anyone advise/help on what I should do next? Thanks,
