Private Parking Solutions - parked in breach of terms - Esso/Sainsbury on South Ealing
« on: »
Sainsburys local and Esso share the same space, there's only 2/3 parking spots for Sainsburys, the other space consitituts of the parking pumps for Esso petrol station. You pay for your petrol at Esso own kiosks (separate to Sainsbury's)
Driver stopped in front of a pump but didn't purchase any fuel, spent 4min (being generous here) in Sainsbury's and left.

You can get an idea of this via this link also a photo of the signage is posted on one of the photos

All PCNs and threats were ignored (has worked so far for all private PCNs received during driver lifetime), a claim is received now from the county court. Guess this can't be ignored.

Prefer to contest it if there is valid grounds or a strong case. Whats the advice?

We stopped advising to ignore private parking tickets when keeper liability was introduced by Schedule 4 to the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 ("POFA").

If you deal with this claim properly, you should easily defeat it.  First, use the claim number and password on the claim form to file your acknowledgment of service ("AOS") online.  Do it as soon as possible, even though the deadline is 8 January.

You will then have until 22 January to prepare and file your defence.  If you file it online via the MCOL website as per the AOS, you can rely on the court to send a copy to the Claimant.  If you use the template defence available over on MSE you will need to email it to the court and also post it to the Claimant's solicitors unless they've provided you with an email address for service of documents because it's too long to fit in the box on the MCOL website.  Here's the MSE link _  https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6108153/template-defence-to-adapt-for-all-parking-cases-with-added-admin-dra-costs-edited-31st-july-2023#latest

Whether your case is more suited to the long MSE defence or a short one that will fit in the MCOL webform will depend in part on documents you haven't shown us.  If you still have the original PCN, show us both sides (redacting your name, address, vehicle number and any reference number but leaving in all dates).  If you've lost the original PCN, work on the basis of the long MSE defence.
