They almost have to pursue it now to make the business viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Whilst parking companies are able to file for county court judgements, the legal basis is sketchy at best. They aren't allowed to fine people, so they have to claim based on their lost revenue or costs incurred from your parking. As they are contracted it's not them that would lose the revenue, it would be the land owner or residents and the parking firm would not be allowed to claim on someone else's behalf. They also my try to claim that by reading the signs you have entered into a contract with them. you can make these people disappear by writing to them and letting them know you know the legalities, but as other people have said do not ignore the letters or you may end up with a court summons.
