Hi,
I wanted to seek advice for a Court hearing weather I stand a chance to win or not.
I received a court summons for a PCN I received from Park Direct LTD in 2023 from Gladstone solicitors.
I parked my vehicle for 15 minutes in the car park in my buildings parking space in order to unload furniture. I do not have an allocated parking space in that car park however I was given access to carpark and advised by the caretaker at the time to park briefly in order to unload my furniture. The car was observed by the private parking inspector for 3 minutes before they issued a ticket. There is signage present in the car park from the company.
The caretaker refused to take responsibility as he was occupied. I contacted the housing manager who advised they do not have the authority to cancel the PCN.
My question is should I just pay the PCN now which has been inflated to £270 or do I have any chance winning in court?
