Thank you for providing this information. Annoyingly I can't find my reply to the original parking notice but I had basically said the same as my original post however... the driver may have identified themselves as the driver...  :(. I drove back down to the where the parking fine was relieved and the pub has gone. There is still a parking however the company isn't Euro parks anymore and it's looks like the parking meter has been updated.

I have submitted the defence as you suggested.

I hope the claim gets struck out or discontinued anyway thank you again and I hope you enjoy your time away.

Hi,

I'm looking for some advice. So basically myself and my partner parked outside a pub (Merton Pub, Bootle). One of us went across the road to the bank while the driver paid for parking. When then driver when over to the machine it only took cash with no card option or way to pay online. The parking way very cheap only 50p for an hour. The driver went back and waited in the car to see if the passenger had cash to pay (they didnt). It was after covid nobody really carried cash. Also if you bought something from the pub they would refund you the parking. Anyway since neither of us had cash or any way to pay we left the car park after 16 minutes (this is what Euro parks said in their penalty notice). The driver was in the vehicle the whole time other than when they got out to check the machine. The driver tried to contest the fine but was unsuccessful. Since Feb 2022 they have received numerous letters but ignored them. The letters stopped for about a year so we assumed that was that but a few months ago they started again ( 2 warning letters) and then a money claims letter from HM courts. The legal company is DCB legal Ltd. I'll enclose the letter. I'm not well versed in this and part of me thinks so I just pay the amount to reduce all the stress and anxiety but the other part of me thinks that's a joke £290.84 over a 50p parking ticket is absolutely ridiculous and extortionate. The pub in question isn't even there anymore but I plan on driving down the the site to see if the old parking meter is still there.
