Hi, I received a parking ticket on my windscreen back on 4/8/2016 whilst parking in a resident only space where my daughter was living at the time. I had been issued with a visitor parking permit to display when ever I was there ,which I had done this had fallen from the dash into the foot well. I appealed against the ticket on the 8/8/16 and they said they ever received my appeal even though I have proof it sent (via email). After all this time and re-appealing they passed it on to DRP and now they have subsequently passed it to Gladstones Solicitors. Advice please as I've managed to find an email address for them and have emailed the appeal and its response to them but reading other threads they don't seem to acknowledge or take not of any defence. Awaiting a reply and thanks in advance. -
Hi all! in need of some help bit worried and dont know how to tackle this situation, here are the details below: there was a a very small iceland store that closed down on a side road where they must of had around 7-10 parking bays, this is still closed down and no business is running there. i parked there for literally 5 minutes as i come back i got a PCN from parking and property management, there was a sign on the wall, i just thought 5 minutes as i was looking for a shop wouldnt be a problem! Date and time: 21/02/2017 at 12.38 received a few notice to keepers then a letter before claim i have ignored all of this! from gladstones. and unfortunately they are thrown away as i thought ignoring them would be fine. on the PCN it says issue reason 1: unauthorised parking the vehicle was parked on private property in a manner where the driver agreed to pay a parking charge displayed on the signage at the site. If this makes any difference please do let me know the name of the road one of the letters is mispeld on all of the letters received even on the claim form example being: turner avenue > tarner avenue claim form states: the driver of the vehicle registration xxxxxxx incurred the parking charge on 21/02/2017 for breaching the terms of parking on the land at iceland, xxxxxx the defendant was driving the vehicle and/or is the keeper of the vehicle and the claimant claims £160 for parking charges/damages and indemnity costs if applicable, together with interest of £2.49 pursuant at s69 of the county courts act 1984 at 8% pa, continuing to judgement at £0.04 per day. then accoss the page is says amount claimed: £162.49 court fee £25.00 legal rep costs £50.00 total amount: 237.49 please help and advise as i dont know what to do! Thank you!!! -
Hi there, First of all I apologise because I know this site must see so many of these threads. I am trying hard to help my mum with parking charges she was advised by many to ignore initially. She had received letter after letter and is terrified of bad credit or court. The parking charge came from Matalan car park in Ayr, Scotland. My mum took my elderly gran there and parked in a disabled bay with the blue badge on display on 11/03/17. My mum had no idea you were required to pay for disabled parking and spent approximately half an hour in matalan. She received her first letter on 16/03/17 and has kept every letter. The initial letter has picture of her car registration entering and leaving. A few threatening letters later and now we have a letter from Gladstones solicitors threatening possible court action in the next 6 years and a bad credit rating. We have two weeks (one week left) to either pay up £140 or face the possible consequences. I would be forever grateful if someone could give me advice on where we go from here? Do we pay the full £140? Do we fight to pay the original fine? Can we appeal? Whatever it is I am willing to write letters, make a 1000 phone calls or pay the full fine myself just to get rid of this worry for my mum. I dont think ignoring it is going to help anyone in this situation. My local trading standards weren't much use. She said they had never taken anyone to our local court, but eventually they would. We could continue to ignore or pay. I will pay the full thing before ignoring it but something is telling me there may be something else we can do, perhaps pay the initial fine? If anyone out there has any advice or experience could you please help? Thank you so much -
Hello, We went to the Embassy last year on 22 Aug 2016 where I got the parking charge notice from CPM car park management that I parked at the private property location and a charge of 100 pounds due within 28 days of the date of issue. I couldn't able to see any board saying that parking is not allowed there I got the parking ticket from the pay machine and put it in my car when I came back I got this notice. I returned back to the receptionist and asked about that she said that every day they get people complaining having parking tickets like this. I have kept on ignoring letters I received from DRP for a long time I got the letter before claim from Gladstones today saying that they have been instructed to commence legal action against me to recover the amount due. I have attached the received letter before claim. I have never made any correspondence with them earlier but now I am planning to do so. Please advise me what I am supposed to do. It's been more than one year and I get so stressed whenever I get the letter from them . vista_centre.bmp -

Assistance needed! I've read the multitude of threads re parking tickets on this site and am hoping for the same useful advice from the regulars as I'm a bit confused re the best course of action On 08/06/2016 at Gateway Plaza, Barnsley I received a parking charge notice on my windscreen. The ticket stated it was issued for the reason of: No Ticket Displayed. The enforcement company is SIP Parking Limited I did some brief research online and decided to ignore the ticket. I did not appeal or make any contact with SIP On 14/07/2016 I received a NTK. The NTK did not mention Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (PoFA) On 15/08/2016 I received a final reminder. This also did not mention PoFA I have today (23/09/2016) received a Letter Before Claim from Gladstones Solicitors which has had the desired effect of finally making me concerned re the charge. The letter requests a payment of £150. The letter refers to the 'Practice Direction for Pre-Action Conduct under the Civil Procedure Rules and in particular paragraph 13-16 of the same which concerns the Court's powers to impose sanctions for any failure to comply.' The letter stipulates I have 14 days to pay or reply. Please advise! May be worth noting that on this occasion, I simply forgot to pay. I used the car park on dozens of occasions previously and paid using one of the mobile phone apps but on this occasion when I was called in to work early, I forgot. Thanks in anticipation for your advice -
HI, I had been given a ticket on my car for parking at 4 CHURCH ROAD, ASHFORD - TW16 2UT When I got to the car park I had gone to buy a ticket, because I didn't have the right change I quickly went into a convenient store to get some, roughly in about a minute when I come back to pay for a pay and display ticket I see someone taking pictures of my car I approach him he said that I was being fined for not displaying a valid ticket. I explained that I was on my way to get one and that it had barely been a minute since I parked. (keep in mind this car park is almost empty) He insisted that I go online to make the payment and there was no point in displaying a ticket... With frustration I left the place without buying a pay and display from the advice given I ignored the letters from the debt recovery companies, which spelt my name wrong on the title.. I've now received a letter from Gladstones Solicitors, dated 19th April which i received today (24th April) it states: Re: Our client: Parking Control Management (UK) Limited Amount due: £160.00 Vehicle Registration: XXXXXXX You have previously been written to questioning the settlement of a parking charge. Due to the absence of payment or a valid appeal against the charge, our client has instructed us to recover the total amount due to them as shown above As all other attempts have failed, out client may now instruct us to take legal action against you in the County Court. To prevent such action, we invite you to make a payment immediately or confirm to us in writing your proposals in respect of this debt. In order to avoid any further action you should pay the full amount outstanding within 14 days of this letter. You can make a payment online (Cant insert the link here) or by calling 03330230049 It is important that you understand that if the judgment is registered against you then this could seriously affect your chances of obtaining credit in the future as this information can be made available to any interested parties via the Register of Judgments, Order and Fines, and will remain there for 6 years. If you are unsure about anything contained within this letter, you should seek advice from a solicitor or contact one of the following organisations who may be able to help you: Yours sincerely Gladstones Solicitors (NO SIGNATURE) -

Good afternoon First of all I thank everyone for any advice you may be able to offer. On the 24th March 2016 at 19:14 I was parked at the rear of some shops on Slough High Street. I visited a Supermarket (one of those shops) and was in there no longer than 20min. On my return I discovered a parking ticket from Parking and Property Management Ltd with the issue reason 'Not displaying a valid permit'. It was dark so I obviously didn't see the sign post which outlined the conditions of parking there. The following day I went away for work and totally forgot about the ticket. Almost 3 months later I have recieved a 'LETTER BEFORE CLAIM' from Gladstones Solicitors. This letter is dated 7th June, was sent 2nd class and I recieved it a week later?? Having done extensive Googling online I read there should have been a NTK before this? I cannot recall having received one of these. I will be trawling through all my post again just to make sure. They are asking for a payment of £150 or they will take legal action? The easy option would be to pay the fine, however the bay I had parked in was for a Carpet Shop, which was way past closing time at the time I got the ticket! Where do I stand with contesting the ticket? Looking forward to the advice and I appreciate it! -
Hi Guys, After some advice, around 2 months ago i decided to go travelling. Before doing so i parked my car outside a business which is on a main Road in Manchester City Center. I asked someone that worked at this business if it would be ok to park there which they replied it would be fine. While ive been away, SIP parking must of bought the land the business was situated on and they erected a no parking restricted sign on the wall. Well after coming back from my travels ive came back to a windscreen full of tickets and numerous letters from SIP asking for £100, ive also received a letter from Gladstones solicitors. Ive been away so ive no knowledge that they put the sign up or that i was receiving tickets! just wondering if i have a leg to stand on, ive got 20+ tickets rolled up and i was wondering if i should reply to Gladstones with the reason why the ''parking offence'' has been committed. any help would be greatly appreciated. regards

Hello everyone, thank you in advance for any help and guidance you can give, it is very much appreciated. Following receipt of a Letter before claim from Gladstones Solicitors I have responded to them disputing the claim, following a quick back and forth, I have received another letter from them stating that "they are not instructed to enter into any further correpondence...if payment is not made within 14 days - a claim will be issued without further notice" The initial parking charge notice was issued to me by post, although i have no recollection of receiving this as the alleged contravention was in September 2015, I then received the letter before claim in December 2016. 1) Details of the letter before claim are as follows: * Client - Parking Control Management (UK) Ltd. * Charge amount - £150 * Date of charge - 09/2015 * Location - Heath Parade NW9 then the usual comments about paying it 2) My initial reply to this letter is attached as parking letter 1 (after a few days research) 3) I then received the usual threat that they'd take me to court in response, not commenting on any of the points i made in the first reply - i will attach this once i find it as gladstone 1 4) i then sent another reply again making note of my points - this is attached as parking letter 2 5) Today i have received another letter disputing my points made in parking letter 2, stating that they will not discuss it with me anymore and that i should pay within 14 days or a claim will be made - this is attached as gladstone 2 Please could any of you lovely people provide me with some guidance as to how to proceed, My main argument is that the signage is inadequate and that no contract was formed, I have attached photos of the signage (photo 1) and the location of the car in relation to the sign on a wet day (photo 3) [another viewpoint is available] (Sorry for the quality, unfortunately cannot save the evidence as) A massive thank you to all that spend the time to read this, Kind regards, A rather annoyed "keeper" Parking ticket letter 1.pdf Parking ticket letter 2.pdf

Hello I received a Judgment for claimant (in default) from Gladstones and I am unsure what to do. I was advised by a member of the forum to seek help here. An outline of the issue: Around the 10th of October 2015 I received a letter entitled postal notification parking charge from parking management control uk. The charge was for 100.00 but would be reduced to 60.0 if paid within 14 days. I ignored it and not happened after. Now I have received the Judgement of Claim from County court business centre in Northampton, saying that I have defaulted and I owe them 258.21. What do you advice I do now? Since October 2015 I did not get any letters of paper work from Gladstones or PCN, so how can the court send me this judgement. Thank you. -
Hello all. On August 12th a charge notice has been issued to my car by Ace Security known as Pace Recovery & Storage. Pleasse have a look at the picture (google street map) how the place looks like: Around October 20th I've got this letter from Gladstones Solicitors: In a heat of changing a job and starting a new one, which is quite demanding, I completely forgot to do anything about this letter. Yesterday I've got another correspondence from Gladstones which is a Claim Form, so they taking me to the court now. There are a couple of more papers attached: response pack, ridiculous Admission(specified amount) and defence and counterclaim(specified amount). I do not have a problem with paying fines if it is legal, which I believe is not the case here. If I was there that day or not, or I borrowed the car it is immaterial. I do understand that I should now go online and tick the box of defending my case fully and not pay anything. What would be your advice?

I have now received a letter from Gladstones on behalf of MET Parking asking for £162.50 for unpaid Parking charge. I received a letter MET Parking asking for £100 stating that I had ignored the first request. I have not ignored any ticket on my car, and never received the first letter, I wrote to them (Stupidly I did not do a recorded letter) received no reply, I have ignored Roxburghe's Threatograms but today have received this letter (Sent from Cornwall) To be honest I have had 3 tickets from MET Parking, one I appealed against and was successful I had displayed but not clearly, I produced to them Ticket and receipt and they allowed the appeal, but said that this would not be accepted anymore. I then picked up a ticket under the same circumstances and paid the Charge, I then received a ticket because I displayed an old ticket in the window my fault I paid (This I think goes someway to prove my honesty) I can prove via Bank statements that I have paid, I buy weekly tickets for The Car park at my local railway station, my first feeling is to carry on ignoring, just wanted to make sure, sorry so long winded
