This case concerns a Parking Charge Notice (private parking firm) issued by UK Car Park Management Ltd, relating to an alleged contravention on Wednesday, 19 March 2025. The notice itself is dated Thursday, 20 March 2025, and I first became aware of it via received initial notice.
The notice appears to have been issued as Other. Issue method detail: By post, without anything affixed to the vehicle windscreen. Driver identified status: NO. Equality Act considerations: No. The location is stated as Wheatstone House, 650-654 Chiswick High Road W4 5BB.
A preliminary Protection of Freedoms Act (PoFA) assessment indicates NOT_APPLICABLE: PoFA timing check is unavailable for 'Other' issue method. Route applied: Not specified. The notice is treated as given on Monday, 24 March 2025 (5 days after the alleged event).
Current stage:
- Notice responded to: No
- Debt recovery letters: Yes
- Letter of Claim: Yes
- County Court claim: Yes
- Letter of Claim responded to: No
- Letter of Claim source: Bulk litigation firm
- Letter of Claim firm: BW Legal
County Court claim deadlines: issue date Friday, 17 April 2026, deemed service Wednesday, 22 April 2026, AoS deadline 4pm Wednesday, 06 May 2026, defence deadline without AoS 4pm Wednesday, 06 May 2026, and defence deadline with AoS 4pm Wednesday, 20 May 2026.
Please can I have advice on the strongest next steps and defence points for this case.
The registered keeper is a tenant at the site.
Postcode is incorrect on PCN
Two different times for the incident and issued time have been added to the PCN and the follow up "final demand before action" letter respectively. The PCN issued time precedes the time of incident, oddly.
Detail lacking in the particulars of claim (within the claim form)
Includes contractual recovery costs of £70 in the claim.
I will create a Google drive here and post all of the documents received thus far.
