Premier anpr PCN Letter of Claim - overstay - No it's Double-Dipping! - Sydney Cove Car Park 2, Praa Sands, Cornwall

[FTMDave]

If you ignore a Letter Before Action the fleecers generally think you might ignore a claim form too and so they would get an easy default judgement.

 

That's why we always say to reply with a snotty letter at this stage, and if the deadline is tomorrow you need to get a move on.

 

From your description it seems like a case of "double dipping", i.e. their rubbish cameras haven't been able to distinguish between two separate visits.

 

Two things.

 

I know it's a long shot from a year ago, but have you got proof of payment at the supermarket - a credit card statement for example?

 

Also, tomorrow morning can you get the lease company to send you the proper original PCN?  Then we can get to the bottom of what the fleecers are claiming and get an appropriate snotty letter off.

OK, the urgent thing is a snotty letter to show them that you would be big trouble in court so it's best they give up on you and go after some mug who would be terrified and just cough up.  The rest can wait.  How about -

 

 

Dear Will & John,

 

cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in mirth at the idea you actually thought I'd take such tripe seriously and put my hand in my pocket!

 

As usual you'll have been too bone idle to do any due diligence whatsoever otherwise you'd have seen your client's case is total pants.  Given your shenanigans with the IPC and the IAS you'll be very familiar with the phrase "double dipping".  I can easily prove to a judge my vehicle was elsewhere when your clients say it was in their car park.  They really should stop buying their cameras second hand for £9.99 on eBay.

 

Oh dear.  Your greedy clients have added £70 Unicorn Food Tax plus you haven't bothered to look up real solicitors' fixed costs for this amount of claim.  Doubt a judge would be very impressed.

 

Your clients can either drop this foolishness now or either get a total hammering in court.  Their choice.  If the latter I will of course request an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g) and then spend it all on a holiday back in Cornwall while laughing at your client's expense.

 

I look forward to your deafening silence.

 

COPIED TO PREMIER PARK LTD: YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE GLADSTONED!

 

 

Gladstones are corrupt solicitors who set up their own parking association where they judge themselves, thus all the mentions of the IPC and the IAS.

 

Send the letter off tomorrow 1st class both to Gladstones and Premier Park and get two free Certificates of Posting from the post office.

 

By complete coincidence yesterday for another thread I looked at how many Premier Park cases we have on the site.  Thirty.  They only did court in two.  And lost them both!  So the snotty letter should see them off.  No absolute guarantees of course.

 

I'll edit the dates as requested.

E-mail is better than not replying.

 

But ideally you should use Royal Mail as Homer says.  We've seen the fleecers abuse e-mail several times in the past.
