Private parking tickets / Out of Jurisdiction
« on: November 07, 2025, 05:22:02 pm »
Hi. My vehicle was recorded parked on a UKPC managed private club car park (members go free, visitors pay per hour in advance) on 3rd April 2025, 2 days before I left UK for 3 months. On my return I had received numerous demands from UKPC and DCBL. I offered to pay (and enclosed a cheque for) the original charge of £60 in full and final settlement, without admitting any liability. The reply from UKPC simply stated the appeals process had expired and referred me to DCBL, and the cheque was destroyed.
I have since received a Claim Form (£176.60 + £35.00 + 50.00 = £261.60) and responded by defending the action. I have a week to submit defence.
To save me time:
Do I have a case that UKPC have failed to communicate with me in an effective manner, and
Do I have a case that UKPC have been unreasonable in failing to resolve prior to court action.
I know details are thin at this but it is the principal I am after at the moment.
Many thanks in anticipation
