Hi all,
On the 10/05/2022, the driver parked in Goldstone Retail Park, Hove just before 1:00 PM (12:55:33 as per PCN)
https://maps.app.goo.gl/72xzFCR6Am4rKakh8They browsed in TK MAXX, and then entered another of the stores on the site, DFS, primarily to talk about potential furniture purchases as there were Ukrainian refugees staying with the family. They were interested in furnishing a one bedroom flat in the town. This may have taken an hour and a half or so and then the driver went for a walk in Hove Park, across the road from the retail park, and for something to drink / eat in the park cafe.
Unbeknownst to them the maximum stay was three hours free parking and they overstayed by just over 15 minutes (left 16:14:10 as per PCN). The registered keeper received a £100 PCN in the post dated 18/05/2022

The RK appealed via euro car parks appeal process online on 31/05/2022 using the advice mentioned on pepipoo and the reply via email dated 25/06/2022 is below




This shows photos of the signage in the retail park in June 2022.
The RK subsequently received final notification letters

and then from debt recovery plus, now up to £170

and then various letters from ZZPS Limited, GCTT and DCBL (not included but can show images)
A "Letter of Claim" was received dated 18th of October 2024 from DCB Legal Ltd which was unfortunately missed in the post

and now a claim form has been received HM Courts and Tribunal Service, issue date of 20th November 2024 for £290.84


with response pack





I have 14+5 days from the 20/11/2024 to respond and would greatly appreciate how to proceed on this.
I am the registered keeper of the vehicle. Thanks in advance
