I’d add (just in case the DJ says “but if you couldn’t pay, you shouldn’t have parked”):

“The situation being compounded by the app appearing to allow payment, with a countdown timer for the period ‘paid for’ appearing”.

 

Have you offered to pay the fee the app should have taken but didn’t?

 

If they were stupid enough to take it to court I’d invite the judge to find that they were entitled to that fee, and only that fee, but [contrary to the usual guideline of costs ‘in the case’] you were entitled to the {limited} costs available in the small claims track.

They’d ‘win’ : but only for the parking fee, you’d win : by them being the ones an order of judgment was made against!

OK so after my letter in january they have filed a court claim

 

I really could do without a CCJ over this! Im trying to remortgage, id happily pay the £227 for it to go away an not have no credit for 6 years.

 

I obviously need to file this back, what should be the defence?

 

What do they normally do in these cases as its clear a contract could not be entered into easily

 

thanks

Let it run, (and go to court if need be)

 

Don’t let the worry about credit report concern you. Even if it went to court, even if you then lost (unlikely), a judgement only goes onto the register if you then fail to pay it within 30 days.

 

Caveat : you MUST notify them if you move / change addresses. You don’t want the scenario where they serve papers to a “last known address” and you don’t get to see them.

If they send papers to an address they know isn’t current, any subsequent judgment that occurs due to them not giving you an opportunity to respond can be ‘set-aside’.

Bazza is spot on.  There's absolutely nothing to worry about regarding a CCJ, credit, mortgage, etc.

 

You need to acknowledge service and make a CPR request.  Forum regular dx100uk will be on shortly with details of what to to.

 

You have a great chance of beating these crooks.  If memory serves, the last three times that I can remember when CEL started court cases against Caggers, CEL got a right thrashing.

 

It's a numbers game to CEL.  It only cost them £25 to issue the claim, and only took them a minute to do so on a computer as all their claims are copy & paste.  Presumably, sadly, there are a lot of motorists terrified of the word COURT who cough up and pay CEL including the £25 plus the £82 Unicorn Food Tax that CEL make up, which means they can fund three more of these dodgy claims.  CEL may go all the way to court, but if you file a robust defence and then WS it's just as likely they'll then drop the matter.  Their behaviour is a disgraceful abuse of the court system, but that's how things work legally in England.

Just make sure derfence is in by due date, it doesn't have to be elaborate at this stage, a 3 line defence should do post what you propose to put on MCOL  her so the team can advise if anything needs tweaking.

Feel free to rip my defence to shreds or add what you think

 

1 . The Defendant was forced to use a defective Mobile phone app to pay for the parking fee as there was no other option

 

2.The mobile App is confirmed 'defective' by firstly failing to process payment, then confirmed again by reviews of other users on the Google App store stating it does not function and users of the app receive a parking fine.

 

3. The Defendant believed to pay in full the required sum  of £1 per hour and additional sums when the app alerted to extend the stay.

 

4. The defendant extended the stay within the App and believed to pay additional fees, suggesting the initial fee was taken due to this expiry alert.

 

5.The mobile App was the only payment method accepted and shows Greyfriars in the App visitation history 

 

6.  The Claimant has added disproportionate fees to the £1 per hour rate, firstly  inflating without reason to £140 within 14 days, then £182 when this was appealed. 

 

7.The Claimant knows their app is faulty, yet continue to make it the only payment method at Greyfriars carpark

 

No Contract could be formed for any action to be taken for breach of a Contract Frustrated from the start, due to inability to pass consideration as in fee to park due to inability of the App, the sole method of payment offered to process any payment. Therefore NO Actionable  Contract can be  deemed to exist.

 

9. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety.  It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

 

10.If any outstanding fee is to be considered, it is for the total sum of the time spent at the carpark at a rate of £1 per hour of which the App failed to process. This could be claimed via small claims process.

Hi.

 

I expect the guys will be along later with advice, but I suspect your defence has more detail than we advise to include at this stage. Your research could be useful as part of your witness statement later on though. :)

 

Please bear with us until you get more comments.

We had a case here recently where a motorist who was being sued by a PPC put in a great deal of work and educated himself/herself about the law, and filed a detailed defence demolishing the fleecers' claim point by point legally.  On the surface a fantastic piece of work ...

 

... except that gave the PPC's solicitors months & months notice of what the case would be fought on and they made up lie after lie to counter the motorists' points. 

 

As dx says it's best to file an extremely generic defence now, keep the fleecers in the dark and then when it comes to WS stage hammer them with the points you've listed - by which point it'll be too late for them to make up lies back.
