Free Traffic Legal Advice

Britannia Parking are taking to me court over an unpaid parking ticket. I haven't responded to any letters or threats. I have now done a counter claim for emotional distress. In hindsight I was panicking and not thinking clearly. I can get a letter from my doctor if necessary to back up my counter claim, but the original fee just keeps going up and up . They sre using unreasonable threats and intimidation. The parking fine came about because i paid the wrong company to park.  I used an app because there was no clear signage. I have evidence of this too. I dont know how this will stand up in court though or whether i should discontinue my counter claim. But it HAS caused me no end of stress and sleepless nights. Its ridiculous they can get away with this.

Without knowing any details, the forum does not generally advise a counter-claim. Britannia will presumably use DCB Legal, who usually discontinue in the face of a defended claim, but generally can’t do so if there is a counter-claim attached to the defence. Is it more important to you to make the claim go away, or is it more important to extract something from them?

It is unlikely any court would deem sending letters under a contract entered into by parking as causing emotional distress. If they claim you owe them money, you either pay or defend.
