Private parking tickets / Re: help with a defence statement for insufficient paid time PCN
« on: November 30, 2025, 10:13:15 am »
thank you for the above information and defence statement.  I really appreciate it. I don't know how to attach the documents (sorry if this has been covered in the forum) but yes essentially order issued on 25/11/25 and reason for PCN was paid for insufficient time.  I have a receipt on the ringo app of my ticket covering 4 hours from 11.55am (they state I entered at 11.43am).
thanks again

Private parking tickets / help with a defence statement for insufficient paid time PCN
« on: November 28, 2025, 11:35:41 am »
Hi I have received a  HM courts and tribunal service letter dated 25/11/25 to respond within 14 days. smart parking ltd is the claimant and the reason was 'paid for insufficient time'.
Details of incident: on 09/08/23 I entered Arlington car park, margate at 11.43 according to smart parking. I took time finding a space, took my 7 month old baby out of the car into her pushchair which took time and then went to the ticket machine which was out of order. I downloaded the ringo app and paid for the ticket at 11.55am for 4 hours.
I received a PCN in November 2023 with the date of 4/9/23 for a £100 fine which I stupidly appealed.  I then without getting a response from my appeal got a further letter from debt recovery plus 10/11/23 stating I now owed £170. My appeal was rejected on 07/12/23 and I didnt apply to POPLA as it seems to never be successful.
I ignored further letters and stopped receiving anything for a over a year. Then I moved but got letters to my old address from DCB legal ltd. When I updated my address they have now sent a letter to my current address likely through searching me on DVLA.
I wanted advice on writing a defence statement.  I can attach my letters
thanks for any advice
