PCN received, specsavers?

hope it works out ok.

 

I know your in the right, and trust me, I can be as contrary as the next fcuker, but sometimes avoiding the hassle with a quick letter to nip it in the bud is the least painful option mate.

I've experienced 6 parking tickets 3 council ,3 private so the win: loss ratio is 1:1 respectively

 

ive had one solicitor acting on behalf of 'parking eye' actually phone my mobile once but my conversation was so boorish they must have just instantly dismissed the claim after loads of protracted silences due to talking about how my Volvo 340 became powered by a 1.1 out of a renault 5 campus!

 

I'm sure a little slither of cheeky hassle wont cause much more than a bit of mirth ,,just maybe a full on time wasting circle of agency mocking them might push their buttons a tad much

just ignore & let them waste there time, as said once in court they have to prove you broke a law which the can't as you didn't.

 

you don't have to prove your innocence.

Send a letter to them stating that it wasn't you in the pic, and that any more correspondence off them will result in you invoicing their MD for your time spent on this matter. Upon receipt of another automated letter, send an official looking invoice to the MD by registered post for £250.00. The invoice should clearly stae that your payment terms are thirty days. At thirty days, if you haven't been paid the £250.00, issue a warning letter to the MD stating that you expect payment within seven days or will proceed with a summons against him personally and will add court costs to the bill plus a day of lost earnings. At seven days, email him to say they have until 5PM to pay, or you submit the summons and will enter in to no further correspondence until the hearing. A hearing that may result in a CCJ being issued against said MD, with all the implications that may have for his ability to take out credit cards, mortgages, etc. They will most likely pay you the money.

Just wrote a polite letter to them telling them they have made a mistake with the registration number.  You are very unlikely to hear anything more after that.

 

On the other hand, if they had written to you as a person who has overstayed their welcome in a non-statutory car park, the correspondence can last for months.  Ask them for photos, their statutory authority, request further and better particulars about the "offence", the appeals process, whether they are entitled to proceed against the driver or the registered keeper, request a further copy of the PCN - oh, the list goes on and on.  When you are retired, this is what fills the day!  After all, it is a civil (in a most uncivil way) claim rather than a parking offence (previously triable in the Magistrates' Court prior to the de-crim of off-street parking).

 

And of course, never forget always to put a postage stamp on the recycled envelope you use for correspondence...
