Private parking tickets / Re: UKCPS PCN small claims court HELP

My defence

I was driving the vehicle referred to in this claim. I deny liability in its entirety and submit the following defence.

I entered the car park briefly. The signage at the site was unclear and did not adequately explain the parking restrictions or who was permitted to park there. Due to the ambiguity I left the car park on foot and walked approximately 20 yards to a nearby shop to clarify if parking was permitted. The shop staff were unsure so I promptly returned to the car having been away for no more than a minute and moved the car.

Upon receiving the parking charge notice I submitted an appeal I received no response. I then later started receiving demand letters for larger amounts. I then wrote 2 written letters both of which went without a reply.

I have acted reasonably and responsibly at every stage and my genuine attempts to communicate were ignored. I dispute the validity of this claim in full.

Private parking tickets / UKCPS PCN small claims court HELP

Hello,

I would possibly like some help re UKCPS.
Thanks in advance for any support. I have received a claim form for a PCN with UKCPS and I am seeking advice. I have sent a written defence before I found this forum. Hoping I haven’t said anything wrong. Here are the facts

July 2023 Driver parked in a UKCPS car park in Leeds that boarded multiple shops.

Driver left the vehicle as unsure from signage who was allowed to park there. Asked in a shop if able to park. They were unsure so moved car. Will not had been there over 2 minutes.

I submitted my appeal back in 2023 but never received any communication back from UKCPS that it had been rejected, the next communication was demanding more money from me. Therefore was never able to pay the reduced fee of £60. They have picture of the car then someone walking away and crossing an undefined boundary.

I think I’m in a strong position.

1. Driver parked for less than 2 minutes (well short of a grace period)
2. Inadequate signage as to who was allowed to park there.
3. Never responded to my original appeal

Risk of court/ CCJ scary to me. I have received a LOC. Submitted a hand written defence explaining the above. I wish I had found this forum before I had sent my defence.

I have now had correspondence from Moorside Legal. They are pursing the claim and sent me a copy of their Directions Questionnaire for the courts.

It doesn't feel like I need to do anything from my side yet but mentions getting back to them in 7 days. Should I respond to their email? Should I submit my own N180?

Thanks in advance
