Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Kingston- 24 not parked correctly
« on: July 16, 2025, 10:31:59 am »
Good morning. I have just received a response on my appeal and it was denied. I can see they do not recognize double horizontal lines (extra lines) at all and still insist I was outside the bay. Please see their response via the below link:

Yes, exactly the extra line / which is not that obvious for others.
On the other hand, there is a limit of symbols for appeal, I can see my notes are a bit lengthy - far too many symbols. What do I do?

I almost forgot, I got back to this off street parking and I noticed the markings are very strange that is for sure. As you can see from the evidence, my front wheel is between two lines, that makes the bay either too short or too long. This style continues on the entire stretch of this location as I parked there again this week. It does look very confusing, not sure why they do not renew those markings…

The baby is 5 months old and of course I paid for parking using RingGo. Thank you very much for your help.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: PCN Number QT10697229 – Vehicle Registration RJ74 HWR
Issued: 19 June 2025 | Location: The Bittoms
I am writing to formally challenge the above Penalty Charge Notice.
I parked my vehicle at approximately 12:45. At that time, there were cars positioned both in front and behind me, which significantly limited visibility of bay markings and space to manoeuvre. These cars had left by the time the photographs were taken at 14:42, creating a misleading impression of how the vehicle was positioned at the time of parking.
Moreover, the bay markings in the provided photos are not clearly visible, suggesting that the lines may have been either very worn or not present at all in certain areas. This made it even more difficult to assess the exact boundaries when parking.
In addition, I am a parent of a small baby, who was seated in a rear-facing car seat on the front passenger side. As visible in your photos, there is a fixed post near the front passenger door, which made it physically difficult to open the door fully. I needed to allow sufficient space to safely remove the car seat and take my baby out of the vehicle. I also required clear rear access to retrieve the buggy from the boot. These considerations impacted the exact positioning of the car, and I did my best to park safely and responsibly within the conditions presented.
I wish to emphasise that my vehicle was not obstructing the road or footpath, and I made every reasonable effort to park correctly, safely, and with consideration for others.
In light of the above circumstances — including the poor marking visibility, presence of other vehicles at the time of parking, physical obstructions, and the genuine need for accessibility as a parent — I respectfully request that this penalty charge be cancelled.
Thank you for your understanding.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Please could you walk me through how do I mention those cases exactly in the appeal?

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Kingston- 24 not parked correctly
« on: June 20, 2025, 12:41:03 am »
Hi all. Today I parked on off street parking and focused on the side markings making sure I was as close to the curb as possible, trying to squeeze between front and back parked cars, I returned within paid time to get a ticket for not parking correctly. Soon after I realized that was to do with the horizontal boarder and I seemed to be between 2 spaces. I had a baby on the front seat and trying to avoid the post to the left was sort of juggling how to park to have access to the boot to get my baby’s buggy. Either way, it was not my intention to take 2 spaces for sure,is there a chance to appeal for markings not being clear? Or any other valid reasons?

Non-motoring legal advice / Re: Small claim struck out
« on: April 12, 2025, 11:55:19 pm »
Please could you advise how to do overturning? Yes, I applied through money claim.
It took me almost a year of debating and filing several forms and letters, mediation, I have all the proof, yet there seemed to be such a disbalance in justice in my case. Defendant acts in such a dumb way just denying all legations without any evidence.

Non-motoring legal advice / Small claim struck out
« on: April 12, 2025, 08:55:41 pm »
I am a claimant for a small claim for negligence and breach of duty of care. I have been through all stages including mediation, offers and ended up having a preliminary hearing at court. I was late for the hearing for 3 minutes and was not allowed in by the judge. Later received a letter saying the following:
The claim was struck out (see attached). Reasoning is quite unclear to me, as well as the next course of actions.
I suppose, I can potentially appeal, as I was rushing on weekday with a newborn and the lift was out of order. The judge was very rude towards me and also the defendant failed on so many occasions with providing me documents.
Alternatively, I can start a fresh claim? Please advise.

« on: December 12, 2024, 12:05:54 pm »
What should be my next course of action, please?
It says that I have to agree or disagree for this to be fast track? How can this be judged? Is there any tips or guidance on how to complete N181? What is this for exactly, is this a step to proceed to hearing or not necessarily?

I am trying to call them, but it is very difficult to get through. Trying again now. Yesterday I emailed them, but I received an automatic reply saying they will be responding in 15 working days, so obviously this is far from ideal, considering I only have 1 month to complete N181.

Non-motoring legal advice / Counterclaim form a defendant civil case
« on: December 12, 2024, 09:29:59 am »
Hi all. I filed small claim court against a clinic who provided me with a poor quality none result course of treatment. Costs involved were over £1600. I started the case in May 2024, we had unsuccessful mediation and they simply denied everything I raised against them. We did not agree on the amount they offered during mediation and therefore the case progressed to county court at Kingston-upon-Thames. At first defendant filed a simple bare denial and I had a letter from court on 18/10/2024. Yesterday I received another letter from the court saying the defendant has filed a defense and a counterclaim, however I did not receive any of those documents as they were supposed to be attached. I am very confused and also nervous as to why and how they could possibly file a counterclaim? Please advise how to get the access to those documents and what are the consequences of those actions for me?
