Free Traffic Legal Advice

At what point did you realise that you had entered private land that was controlled as a car park? If you didn't, why do you think you didn't? Why did you later ignore the NtK, the reminders, the Letter of Claim?

I didn't realise it was controlled as there was no barrier and didn't pay attention to signs due to my fragile state.

I don't have a solid reason as for ignoring the letters other than previously stated, what might be acceptable?

From memory around 45 minutes as I had to dislodge the sweet and then calm him down enough to resume driving.

Yes the car broke down and I have AA sms messages to evidence the breakdown.

If you can get some photos of the signs at the location, that would also be useful. It is interesting that PE now add £20 to original charge of £100 without justifying it, as far as I can see.

I'll try and get the photos next time I'm in Exeter. How do you know the original charge was £100?

Did you contact the hotel management and complain to them about this invoice you received from PE? Were you a patron of the hotel?

Yes, I rang them. They took the ref number and said he would try and cancel it but the system wouldn't let him. The driver was not staying at the hotel but taking someone else who was doing a government immigration test at some room in the hotel.

Thanks,

I don't recall receiving a letter before claim but may have and binned it.
