I need to sit down and read @dx100uk. Will surely do a thorough research before I go to courts. I know those details are essential to be able to present myself well. I have read time and again. Sometimes English not being the first language, makes it harder to understand. Sometimes digging up the forum for the bits that are relevant is not easy.

Thanks @FTMDave. the guidance says “ no” for private parking tickets. Are we saying “ no” to mediation because PE would definitely want me to pay up in full/ part ? Or is there any other reason that I am missing out please?

Thank you.

Does anyone know the email to which I need to send DQ180? The website gives physical address. Since MCOl does not reflect I have submitted my DQ180, I need to resend via email. thanks in advance.

@dx100uk how can I use that piece of information? Can I say it’s two different places and hence it does not apply?

Stay Lifted on 02/10/2023 DQ sent to you on 02/10/2023 DQ filed by claimant on 02/10/2023 This is what MCOL says. I sent DQ by post on 19/10/23. First class , two copies , one to courts and other to claimant.

I haven’t heard anything from them since sending back DQ questionnaire. The MCOL website still doesn’t reflect that I have filed my response. Should I do anything?

I tried looking at council website. But no clue as to where to look it up. does “private parking restrictions “ come up as separate entity? how would saying signage was different in 2022 help me? Unless the parking permission said 3 hours?

Here is the response from PE, also the latest signage, which says maximum parking time of 3 hours. sure @dx100uk. I just typed something in a hurry to ensure I was doing it right . will correct the spellings before I post It off . If not for the support on the forum and directions from here, I would be a nervous wreck . esp if you see the 20 page document !! newPE signage.pdf PE response.pdf

Here is the online copy . hope its fine. when can I expect to go to courts and when do I need to file my defence statement please ? Got a few points marked out from your comments earlier on the threads also from others cases by reading up here and there. Still have some questions as above. DQ N180.pdf

Yes spot @dx100uk. I am technologically paralysed. So some times I get my son to do scan documents. That’s what I am waiting to do. meanwhile I will sent my DQ to them. in the DQ I say “ no” to mediation ,there is a place to sign . Now as above you have asked me not to sign . So shall I just write my name there? And I have requested the court to be held closer to my home. Dose that sound ok??

Hope they realise much before that it is not worth it!!

I did write again, but declined to cancel the pcn in the name of “ antisocial behaviour “

This is the response from the management of the retail park “ Apologies for the delay in coming back to you. I needed to check with our Facilities Manager, what the exact parking restrictions are. You will see below a photo of the signage, where it clearly shows that at 17:00 on Sunday the maximum stay is 45 minutes. This is to prevent anti-social behaviour and at that time only KFC and McDonalds are open. When the other tenants are open there is a maximum of 3 hours. “.

I have the picture of the 3 hour change . Need to sit down and post it. They did respond . But as some of you pointed out earlier, it probably was too late for them to intervene once £35 was paid by PE towards court fees. So they said they couldn’t do much. will fill up the DQ and post it. I have a few doubts.

Yes will do @dx100uk. Spent a couple of hours on reading the threads today. But when I get to doing things, I do not want to look silly and make a mockery of my case.

for section D - Suitability without hearing : can I say "no" and simply put the the reason down as factual disputes - will need to be orally argued? because 1) they have not responded to the CPR - Not provided a proof of contract with the owner and PP 2)PCN was non-complaint 3)Parking time was not stated on the PCN Is this good enough? and you have asked mee not to sign the form - but this form has a space designed for signatures - should I leave it blank ? sorry silly question . is there a specimen DQ someone has done before anywhere please?

yes it says i need to file it by 19/10/23

yes @dx100uk it says" case stay lifted 2/10/23 DQ sent to you 2/10/23 DQ filed by claimant 2/10/23" so yes I have the DQ from the courts and I need to go by your thread 76. do I do the SAR now ? or too late ?

He hi , quick reply , Yes I have had a DQ sent earlier . since there were no updates on the MCOL website I was sitting on it. @dx100uk I understand this is for my DQ? sure will do . Thanks so much . took me a while to realize PE had sent me a DQ earlier and now the same set again sent by the courts.

Thanks . Just reading through a few of the threads . MCOL website - there is an update DQ filed by claimant 2/10/23 and DQ sent on 2/10/23. I have now received a Notice of proposed allocation to small claims track which I need to submit by 19/10/23. I have not sent out a SAR to them .Is it too late to send one ? Just trying to read up on my next steps which I believe is drafting a witness statement(WS) In the section "suitability for determination without a hearing " can I write : if PE is willing to drop the claim , we could settle it out of courts .? PS : I had recently been to the car park , they have now increased parking time to 3 hours !! ( previously 2 hours - my stay was 2 hours 39 minutes)

Please find the signage ,They have now assigned my case to Debtrecovery plus and I am being sent more threats to pay!! The day of infringement was a Sunday and they have a time limit of 45 minutes outside the regular hours. EUROCAR PARKsignage.odt

I need to do it. Haven’t been able to do it. But will do .

1 Date of the infringement -23/07/23 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] -28/7/23 3 Date received - not sure . 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] no Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up Give answer here 7 Who is the parking company? Euro car Park. 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town Pitsea Retail park BASILDON Also this time I have received a NTK ON 27/8/23 demanding the outstanding balance NTK.pdf

Thank you for highlighting those issues. Fab. my concern is how do I respond if I was asked the driver of the vehicle? Say” no I was not the driver “in courts?
