Morning all,

A strange one. I rented a car for a few days in march and a few months ago revive a PCN stating the above. I did not rent the car for the dates the offence too place but enterprise hold me liable as I was apparently the last person to have the car and they won't accept any other explanation.

I managed to get the transaction reversed by my bank but enterprise are threatening beliefs. I also wrote to Richmond council who say the liability has not been passed onto me by enterprise. If I send them this letter is it enough for them to leave me alone or do I need to draft something else.

Thanks

This has nothing to do with parking procedure, it is, as the council's response states, a contractual matter between Enterprise and you. From your account, the issue is whether the last hirer may be held liable for a contravention arising directly out of them leaving the car in a prohibited location/position even when that person's hire agreement terminated* before a PCN was issued.


*- this is a legal issue. It is common practice with some forms of agreement that parties may be bound by enduring conditions even after the term of a contract has expired.

Please uncover the pcn number and vehicle reg
I help you pro bono (for free). I now ask that a £40 donation is made to the North London Hospice before I take over your case. I have an 85% success rate across 2,000 PCNs but some PCNs can't be beaten and I will tell you if your case looks hopeless before asking you to donate.

+1

In addition please unobscure all dates and locations.

And when exactly did you cease to become the hirer?

Please confirm that the car was returned to and parked in an on-street parking bay?

What is Enterprise's latest position in writing? The ball is in their court.

How could Enterprise be "threatening beliefs"? I assume you meant bailiffs?

They would first have to obtain a County Court judgement against you and then you would have to fail to pay the CCJ. All that assuming the case went against you. Only then could bailiffs be engaged.

so did you leave the vehicle at the location stated on the pcn when you finished the hire?

We like to see original documents so nothing is not as we think

Possibly not relevant but there may be another complication with this case.

The OP's rental contract appears to have have been with Enterprise Car Club. However the (overly redacted) NTO is addressed to Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

Google suggests that these are two different companies owned by the same parent, Enterprise Holdings in the USA.

Thanks so much for all your replies, I soon have to go through each one slowly. Oh sorry thought I had to obscure those details

I know this will sound insane, but I wouldn't have parked like this, it's not in a bay and touching a double yellow. You have to park in the allocated space so unless I was having an episode and don't remember doing this it wasn't me. They say there have been no other drivers which I guess leaves me liable. I originally misunderstood thinking they told me I drove it a few days after. Think I'm stuck with this one but would never park like that or in a space that isn't allocated for the car ughh!

Bit of a long way around but could I ask the council to confirm the location (photographic evidence) of the car when my hire ended. This is on the road where I should park but looks like it's outside gates and I wouldn't have parked there.

If enterprise have not made me formally liable with the council or sent any rental agreement, or written from a different organisation (as suggested) etc is that any grounds for appeal. I also don't know why I got this month's later. If I'm in the wrong I will hold my hands up but it doesn't make sense to do that. The bay at the beginning of the road nowhere near a double yellow

And if this is contractual as mentioned, and they are stating the terms of the agreement as I was the last renter am I still liable? If I did not park in the correct bay I get it, highly unlikely but now I know what they are actually trying to tell me it is possible. I need to see evidence I think of when my rental ended where I was parked. No wonder people can't afford to drive, the fines and fees for being a cm out of the bays are outrageous.
