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

If you follow this advice, you won’t be paying a penny to UKPC. All I need to know is the issue date of the claim. I will give you advice on how to defend and a suitable template to use.

I can tell you with greater than 99.9% certainty, the claim will never reach a hearing as it will either be struck out or discontinued just before the £27 trial fee has to be paid.

UKPCs silly move was not accepting your £60 offer. Whilst making the offer was not a wise move, even if you claimed no liability, they could have used that against you by inference.

Once you’ve provided the claim issue date, I can give you the rest of the info you need.
