Afternoon,

Just an update, had the mediation phone call this afternoon... no surprise they will be continuing with proceedings. 

They said I would receive the paperwork in the post shortly with a date for my local court. Can I ask, as nothing came of the other one back in December that they said they would be issuing a claim against. Are they waiting for this current court claim to be concluded before starting the process all over again? As such can they do that? 

Many thanks for all your help so far.

Hi,

Received email in response to the court claim, attached was a copy of their DQ, nothing yet in MCOL as to mine. Regards to the email for the other one not heard anything back as of yet but will update when I have. Ive put theirs below! 

This is the email:


We act for the Claimant and have notified the Court of the Claimant’s intention to proceed with the Claim.
 
Please find enclosed a copy of the Claimant’s completed Directions Questionnaire, which has also been filed with the Court. 
 
You will note the Claimant has elected to mediate in an attempt to settle this matter amicably, without the need for further Court intervention. Should you agree to mediation, please inform the Court who will contact both parties to arrange a mediation appointment.
 
Yours sincerely

The attachments is the pcn.

Assuming they are going to file with the court also for this one.

Thank you for that very swift and detailed reply. They did not include any paperwork signed by the hire firm. the first letter was addressed to work. That's the one I posted earlier . This one I'm going to upload was then addressed to me. and the others were addressed to me but then say notice to keeper.

Trying to appeal to their nicer side of paying for the parking backfired (thinking they would know they didn't put a sign up stating it had changed and were trying to catch people out) Lesson learned as you can tell this is the first time in this situation. 

The first NTH one is the original one from work which I have that's dated 17th Sept.

If only they had they put a sign up that said you now have to pay as the free hour is no gone from xx date we wouldn't be writing this... With that do we still have a chance to fight if it went to court?

Thank you so much for your input. It is very much appreciated.

Hi, here's the back

Had another letter before claim from Gladstone's this morning for the other one. So will have to go through the same motion for that. I presume it will all be the same process to defend that one too.

Thanks

Hi, been reading up and felt I could use a little help
Received three parking charge notices from horizon parking from June,July,Aug 2024 for failure to pay for duration of stay.The car park has always been free for the first hour, and had signs up with a pay machine so nothing new. They didn't update a sign on entry to say that new charges now applied and that the hour was no longer free. Tried to communicate with them to pay for the parking owed as soon as it was made aware, and that it was a genuine mistake, to no avail. It's a works vehicle so the first notice went to them in September from the August one and they gave my name. once they had the details the previous dates were then sent to home address. Now received claim form, but that is only listing two charges to which it isn't the first one we were aware about. So just after some advice on what is the best way to proceed with the defence on the claim form. Really appreciate any help.
