Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi all,

Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction for this boring issue I've faced with ParkingEye in England.

Long story short:
- I parking in a fully legal way for my son’s skating lessons at a Better Gym Lee Valley ice rink. No ticket was ever required

- I must have mistyped my plate, and ParkingEye issued a ticket.

- I disputed them but they rejected this - even though Better Gyms supported I was not requiring a ticket

- I then moved house, updated DVLA with new details, but court papers went to my old address.

- ParkingEye got a default CCJ as I was not aware of the case

- When I realized this, I paid £300 to have the judgment set aside.

- A new court date was issued, but it clashed with a holiday I had already booked

- I called the court helpline, was told to email Edmonton court with evidence which I did prior to the court date - however, this was never acknowledged (I called the helpline couple of times which they have documented)

- The court date came/went and the case dismissed as I couldn't attend

- Since July I have emailed, called and even visited the court with no follow-up

- Now I’m out £300 and it looks like I may need to pay again and restart the process.

At this point I do believe I need legal help....

Quick few questions for the community:

- Is there a way to escalate when the court does not respond?

- Do I really have to pay the set-aside fee again?

- Any advice for law firm which could help with this?

Thanks again for reading this long and boring story! Any advice is highly appreciated.

Thank you!
