Has the order that struck out the case been sent to the defendant? I now the MCOL history says that the claim was struck out but was the actual order sent and if so do you have a copy of it?

Ok thanks so you really think i should just say i offer £0 and end the mediation? if it does go to the courts won't the judge look unfavourably upon that?

I have received nothing in writing other than the original DQ years ago and sanctions order in 2023 but i don't have either of these now as it was years ago

Mediation is not part of the judicial process. There is no judge or solicitor involved. Your only requirement is to "attend" the call. If you make an offer and it is accepted, that is the end of the claim. If you cannot agree with the claimant, then it has no bearing on the claim as it proceeds and is not and cannot be referred to by wither party. It is not prejudicial.

Ok thanks, so do you think i should refuse to offer them anything still ? they dug this up so i am just worried that they think their case is strong enough otherwise why would they waste their time with all this

Without knowing precisely what you out in your defence, it is difficult to say. You part admitted liability.

I think they’re touring it on. They may try to take it all the way to a hearing.

They have Ben known to accept as little as £25 when bartering. Whilst I said that personally would fight them all the way, I am not the one facing the claim.

If you say you are willing to consider settling, then see what they offer. Then say you’ll only accept £20 and then see where they go. Stand your ground because they are known to accept really low offers.

I do think that if it does go to a hearing, they will simply discontinue before the hearing fee is due. It is their MO.

They possibly only revived it because they hadn’t had their “moneys worth”:out of the £35 claim fee they’ve paid. Never mind the fact that the CNBC has screwed the process and are trying to wriggle out of their responsibility.

The issue over the CNBC complaint is that someone marked the claim as having been struck out when, it seems likely there was never an order for that.

Whatever happens with the claim itself, you should press on with the complaint and not let them get away with their procedural impropriety. This situation would cause distress and anxiety in anyone not familiar with the process.

You should write to your MP and ask for their support and get them to raise questions about the abuse of process by the CNBC with the MoJ or whatever it may be called these days.

I had the mediation today the jokers wanted £230 to settle today i offered them £50 and we got no where so looks like it's going to courts

i found out it is with QDR Solicitors, pretty ridiculous that i have to ask to find this info out still received nothing in writing , they are claiming they have sent me letters which is bullshit i have received nothing , address has not changed none of my details have changed.

How do i prepare for courts and what am i supposed to do or say

I don't think things are looking good at the moment they think they will get an easy win at courts it seems

I have been unemployed for 2 years and i have no money so not sure how the courts will look at that

Without knowing precisely what you out in your defence, it is difficult to say. You part admitted liability.
This is the part I'm struggling with too - If they are planning to go to a hearing I imagine QDR may be seeking to rely on the fact that partial liability was previously admitted.

Defence
It's hard to remember what i did last week never mind over 2
years ago but after checking through my emails i did actually
reply to this original fine and offered to compensate the company
directly for £20 and the reasons i wrote on that email for parking
there was there was roadworks on the road so all parking was
suspended and I was collecting emergency supplies for someone
during covid so i pulled onto this bit of land that had no parking
bays and it basically just looked like a disused bit of space i
was unaware of the contract parking terms and conditions or even
what the fee was or fine but i thought the offer of £20 for a 32
minute stay was fair and reasonable but the cowboy parking company
thought £100 for the brief time spent there was appropriate. I was
very surprised to find that instead of accepting my reasonable
offer that i made they thought they could bully me into paying
an extortionate amount , how they can now try and justify £182 for
a 32 minute stay is beyond me and hopefully you will agree with me
judge as these cowboys need to stop being able to get away with
this. The defence that I would like to submit to you is that these
charges are disproportionate and unfair as far as I am aware under
English law, penalty clauses designed to disproportionately punish
a breach of contract are not enforceable, especially as I was not
even aware of the contract nor did I agree to it. Hopefully you
will agree that paying £100 to settle this matter is a fair
solution.

Calm down. You are way off any hearing before a judge.

You say that you mentioned in your defence that the location appeared to just be same wasteland and that there were no signs to indicate that it was private land subject parking control. The claimant will have to prove that there was adequate signage in their WS.

For now, we still have no idea what was in the PoC of the claim. We don’t know what you put in your defence.

SAR the claimant and QDR. They are obliged to give you copies of all information they have about you which will include copies of the claim and the defence. It will also require them to give you copies of your original appeal.

Please confirm the exact name of the parking company as there are several with “parking solutions” in the name. Is it UK Parking Solutions Ltd or possibly Parking Solutions Ltd (dissolved in 2031) or New Parking Solutions Ltd or even Secure Parking Solutions Ltd? Or is it UK Car Parking Solutions Ltd?

Working on the assumption that it is “UK Car Parking Solutions Ltd” (UKPS) then no need to change the email address in the proposed SAR below.

Do the SAR as a priority. Send this as a single email, addressed to both: Dataprotectionofficer@ukcps.net and compliance@wrighthassall.co.uk and CC in yourself.

Also attach a redacted copy of your drivers licence (redacted the photo and your driver no.) and a recent utility bill (redacted the content leaving just evidence that it was addressed to you).

Not sure why but that address bounced back as invalid

Try info@ and make clear in your subject line that it's for the attention of their Data Protection Officer.

Their DPO email being out of action is an issue in itself but your priority here is getting your SAR responded to.
