CPM Parking PCN – No Permit – Bow, London – MONEY CLAIM ISSUED
DIR By: majikd
Date: February 8, 2025, 7:45 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Outline of Case
Key Dates:
· Alleged Offence: 24/01/2024
· Money Claim Issue: 05/02/2025
· Service Date: 10/02/2025
· Payment Deadline: 24/02/2025
· Acknowledgment Deadline: 24/02/2025
· Defence Form Deadline: 10/03/2025
The situation involves two separate alleged parking offences for
the same vehicle, at the same location, on the same day.
Although the parking spaces were slightly different, they were
very close to one another, and the appeals for both PCNs were
submitted using the same grounds (insufficient signage).
One appeal was successful, and the other was rejected, which
raises questions about the consistency of the decision-making
process.
Thank you in advance for any assistance. I am uncertain whether
I have valid grounds to defend this claim and would greatly
appreciate any guidance.
Potential Grounds for Dispute
1. Inconsistent Ruling for Similar Situations:
The two Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) in question are nearly
identical in circumstances; however, one appeal was upheld while
the other was rejected. This suggests an inconsistent
application of rules and raises concerns regarding the fairness
of the decisions.
2. Signage Prominence and Clarity:
The car park lacked sufficient signage to clearly explain the
relevant parking restrictions. The evidence provided by CPM is
not located near the parking spot in question and does not
demonstrate which areas require permits. This compromises the
enforceability of the alleged parking terms.
3. Non-Compliant Notice to Keeper:
The Notice to Keeper did not meet the requirements outlined in
Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act (POFA) 2012.
I appreciate any advice, especially on whether these grounds are
reasonable or if additional arguments should be made to form a
solid defence. Or should I be looking to settle?

2. Appeal Submission used for both PCNs:[/size][/color]
Date submitted (both PCNs): 09/02/2024
[color=black][size=2]Ticket number: [ ]
Vehicle registration number: [ ] [/size][/color]
[color=black][size=2]You issued me with a parking ticket on
24.01.2024 but I believe it was unfairly issued. I will not be
paying your demand for payment for the following:
[/size][/color]
[color=black][size=2]1. There was insufficient
signage[/size][/color]
[color=black][size=2]The car park in question has no clear
signage to explain what the relevant parking restrictions are.
This means no contract can be formed with the landowner and all
tickets are issued illegally. The evidence you provide is not
near the parking spot in question and is not even clear as to
which areas require permits.[/size][/color]
[color=black][size=2]2. The notice to keeper is
incorrect[/size][/color]
[color=black][size=2]The Notice to Keeper failed to meet the
obligations of Schedule 4 of the POFA Act 2012. [/size][/color]
[color=black][size=2]If you choose to pursue me please be aware
that I will not enter into any correspondence and this will be
the only letter you will receive from me until you answer the
specific points raised in my letter. [/size][/color]

CPM acknowledged that my appeal was valid and canceled the

[size=3]3b. Unsuccessful Appeal
CPM rejected my appeal despite similar circumstances. The
rejection claimed that my vehicle was parked in contravention
due to a lack of a valid permit, yet failed to address the lack
of clear signage (see appeal submission). Also the decision was
inconsistent with the near identical situations[/size]

PAYMENT DUE DATE: 5th March 2024
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE: £60.00
[color=black]Dear Mr,[/color]
[color=black]Thank you for your appeal against the above Parking
Charge Notice.
At UK CPM we consider all appeals on a case-by-case basis. We
take each appeal very seriously and thoroughly investigate any
evidence that has been provided. We appreciate your
circumstances and understand this is not a situation anyone
would like to find themselves in; however, these parking
conditions have been put in place to ensure fair usage for all
motorists and support the needs of our client. After careful
consideration, it is unfortunate that I am writing to you today
to advise that on this occasion, your appeal has been
unsuccessful.[/color]
The decision to uphold your parking charge notice has been made
on the following basis.
[color=black]Whilst we note the comments and reason for appeal,
as per our photographic evidence, the vehicle was parked in
contravention of the advertised terms and conditions. As the
vehicle was parked without a valid permit on display, we can
confirm that this PCN has been issued correctly. [/color]
[color=black]You have now reached the end of our internal
appeals procedure and therefore you now have two options; either
pay or appeal to the Independent Appeals Service (IAS) - you
cannot do both. [/color]
[color=black]To make payment of the total amount due as shown
above, please use one of the following payment options;[/color]
- [color=black]Online: [color=purple]www.paymyticket.co.uk

[color=black]
Alternatively, if you do not agree with your internal appeal
outcome and you wish to dispute the matter further, as you have
complied with our internal appeals procedure you may use, and we
will engage with, the IAS Standard Appeals Service providing you
lodge an appeal to them within 21 days of this
rejection.[/color]
[color=black]The Independent Appeals Service
([color=purple]www.theIAS.org

/>provides an Alternative Dispute Resolution scheme for disputes
of this type. If you decide to appeal to the IAS, you will need
to visit their website and use your PCN reference and
corresponding vehicle registration. All PCN's will be uploaded
to the IAS website by the end of this working day.
If you appeal this charge further then you will lose the ability
to pay at the reduced rate (if applicable). In the event that
your IAS appeal is unsuccessful, the full amount for the PCN
will then be payable. If you lodge an appeal with the IAS and
then subsequently pay the charge prior to that appeal being
determined, then the appeal will be withdrawn, and you will not
be given a further opportunity to contest the
charge.[/color][/color]
[color=black]If you do not wish to dispute the matter further
and payment is not received within 28 days of the date of this
correspondence then additional charges may be incurred, for
which you may be liable. If the charge continues to remain
outstanding, the matter may be later referred for litigation in
the County Court which could result in a County Court Judgment
being made against you; this may impact on your ability to
obtain credit in the future.[/color]

5. Next Steps
I am seeking advice on the following:
- Whether my grounds for disputing this claim are strong.
- How to strengthen my defense further if needed.
- Whether it would be more practical to settle the claim at this
stage.
Thank you in advance for any advice or guidance on how best to
proceed.

Please post the court claim form. Who is the claimant? Very
likely it is defective and the claim will not be pursued as long
as you defend it. b789 will provide a defence I expect once you
post the form.

Very easy to defend and will either be struck out or
discontinued if you follow the advice. You are correct with your
court deadlines except that the deadline for the defence is
until 4pm on the final day as long as the clam has been
acknowledged.
If you haven't yet acknowledged it, follow the instructions in
this linked PDF and then come back with a copy of the N1SDT
Claim Form or at least confirm who is acting for UKCPM, most
likely DCB Legal but possible, the even ore incompetent Moorside
Legal. We must see the Particulars of Claim in order to be able
to tweak the defence as necessary.

Thank you both for your guidance. I will proceed to acknowledge
the claim tomorrow. To answer your question, I can confirm that
Gladstones Solicitors are acting as the legal representative for
this matter.
Please find attached a copy of the N1SDT form for your
reference. I appreciate your reassurance that this will be
straightforward to defend, and I will certainly follow your
advice! For your consideration, I’ve outlined a few additional
points below that may be relevant to the defence:
- The claim makes no reference to the fact that I submitted an
appeal or the points I raised during that process. It also omits
the fact that I stated I would not engage further unless those
points were specifically addressed.
- I have received notices for additional alleged offences at the
same location, relating to later dates. I expect to receive
claims for these in due course. I highlight this in case it has
any bearing on this defence or potential future defences.
Finally, and I ask this somewhat in jest as I assume not, but is
there any basis for a counterclaim? Perhaps for the time wasted
dealing with this matter or the inconvenience of sorting through
the deluge of letters I’ve received over the past year! Would
repeated unsolicited correspondence by post amount to “passive
harassment”?!
Thank you again for your assistance—I look forward to your
thoughts.

Here is the defence and link to the draft order and relevant
transcripts that go with it. You only need to edit the claimant
name (as it appears on the N1SDT Claim Form), your name and the
claim number. You sign the defence by typing your full name for
the signature and date it. There is nothing to edit in the draft
order. At the end of this post I provide a link to a Word format
document that has everything as a single document that you can
edit and then export as a single PDF file.
When you're ready you send all the documents as PDF attachments
(ideally as a single PDF with the defence, 2 pages, the draft
order, 1 page and the transcripts, each about 4 pages as a
single PDF document) in an email to
claimresponses.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and CC in yourself. The claim
number must be in the email subject field and in the body of the
email just put: "Please find attached the defence and draft

I received the following email from the Claimant's solicitors
(Gladstones) with a N180 form appended. I am not sure if any
action is required so grateful for any advice. Happy to append
the form if needed

Usual male bovine excrement from the incompetents at Gladstones.
Mediation has been a mandatory requirement since May 2024. Once
you have submitted your own N180 Directions Questionnaire (DQ)
you will receive a mediation telephone appointment. This is a
complete waste of time but the only mandatory element is to
actually "attend" the call. It is not part of the judicial
process and no judge or lawyers are involved. You simply off to
settle for £0 and it will be over in minutes.
You should check your MCOL history to see when your own N180 DQ
form has been sent. You don't have to actually wait for the
physical form to arrive in the post. Just follow these
instructions and have yours ready to send when you notice that
yours is on the way, or you have already received it:
