Thanks FTMDave, I like the cut of your jib - I'll go with that and obtain proof of postage. Encouraging that NPE have never followed through and seem to blowing hot air, let's see where they go after this Regards

Ok thanks

Ok lookinforinfo, here's the original notice to hirer with dates/times left in Regards 20240425_165110.pdf

The paploc is from the PPC not their solicitors, see attached I search the site for national parking enforcement snotty letter? Regards 2024-04-03 NPE PAPLOC.pdf

Interesting. Ok so everything they sent in response to my CPR request was part of that attached PDF, there were no other documents. I'll re-upload the original PCN from their response pack and leave dates and times in this time.

Ok, suggestions

It'll be something to the effect of: "I am in receipt of your letter before claim. I was awaiting a passenger as a licensed cab driver on the Locton estate who subsequently cancelled the pickup after me waiting a while and will fight this in the small claims court if necessary. Plus I have friends who are experts in contractual law and make it their business to defeat these spurious PPC claims. So issue the claim form or go forth and multiply, up to you"

Got an LBC on this folks, usual strong worded letter time- you don't need to see it right? Regards

Ok got the reply back from the PPC Solicitors to my CPR 31.14, please find attached Regards 20240424_163330-merged (1).pdf

Ok got it

impressive, sounds like I'm in safe hands!

Ok that's good to know, thanks

Ok thanks HB I'll take a look. What's the success rate of individual drivers going to a small claims hearing & defending themselves, seems slightly daunting given I've no legal experience and only been in a court room once about 35 years ago! Regards

Ok dx logged into the gov website and clicked my intention to defend etc, not filed a defence as you said and drafted the CPR 31.14 ( see attached) I'll wait on your reply/suggestions etc before posting the CPR 31.14 to PPC solicitors Regards CPR 31.14 DCB Legal.pdf
