Dennis, remind me what happened. You’re allowed to stop on yellow lines anyway if you’re collecting or delivering – you don’t need the say so of a traffic warden. I’m guessing they were Parking Attendants rather than Traffic Wardens (big difference)? Was it just double yellow lines or were there loading restrictions as well (kerb ‘blips’ or stripes).

In some circumstances you’d just be wasting your time and money by carrying on, but in others you’d have a cast-iron case that you’d only win at the last possible stage.

It’s just a notice of charge issued on behalf of whatever shonky private company controls the car park at Oxford services.

I think they’ve got long-term and short-term parking at Oxford? If you park in the long term you’re meant to buy a pay and display ticket.

Send the solicitors a letter – “According to my records I could not have been at that location at that time. If you have evidence that I was and that I had agreed to this charge please send it to me and I will assess your claim. If you fail to do so I will assume that your claim is entirely spurious.”

Nobody’s going to jump through hoops, provide all the details requested within a reasonable time and take you small claims court 150 miles from where they’re based for the vague chance of gaining £80.
