Hi
They have responded with the below. They did not send a letter by post but someone got my email address.
Thank you for your letter, please find our response below:
Good afternoon,
Thank you for contacting BW Legal and for the information you have provided.
A PCN is not subject to VAT as it is not an invoice. A PCN is a reminder of your contractual obligations to adhere to the terms and conditions of parking and notification that these terms have been breached due to insufficient paid time.
This PCN is in regards to the breach of the terms and conditions of the site for the contravention reason of insufficient paid time, this is not in regards to damages.
The Charge you have been issued with represents the breach of a core term within the parking contract which was formed when your vehicle entered and remained on private land in excess of the grace period and subsequently breached Furthermore, in 2015, the Supreme Court case of ParkingEye v Beavis confirmed that the parking charge was not about loss, but a legitimate charge to deter motorists from breaching the contract under which they are permitted to use the car park.
It is the overriding objective of the courts for parties to settle matters amicably without the need for a formal hearing. This includes raising any disputes and concerns with either party, prior to the issue of a County Court claim, to ensure court time is not wasted and additional costs are not incurred unnecessarily.
In respect of the contents of your correspondence, it is apparent that a large amount of the information contained therein has simply been ‘copied and pasted’ from an external source, which we see on a regular basis. Large portions of your letter are irrelevant to the claim and therefore nonsensical, and therefore unreasonable.
This matter will remain due and owing.
