Good Morning!
On the 17th July 2014, I was issued a parking ticket from Fistral Car park of £100. (ParkingEye) With the added court fee's I am now looking at £175.
Long story short - I'm filling out my questionnaire to agree to the 'Small claims track' which I need to return by the 2nd Feb 2015.
I defended my case initially, with the following points:
- Lack of standing by claimant
- Original charge is not a true-estimate of loss
- Parking eye use an advocate that charge more than they claim and the case is therefore not financially sensible.
- As Fistral is a paid car park there is no commercial justification
- The site has a lack of signage visible from where I was parked
- As there are a few points to review I suggested the case by handed over to POPLA
ParkingEye are still proceeding to court.
Working against my case ... I had ignored the initial parking charge, until they threatened with court action.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated, I am also willing to pay somebody to help in a situation where we will win or majorly reduce the cost. I know who I'd rather give my money too!!
A final question - Defending the case further from this point, am I likely to incur further costs?
Thankyou very much for your time,
Corkers
