What is a AM Parking Services Court Claim?

A AM Parking Services Court Claim is a county court claim issued because a AM Parking Services parking charge notice was not paid. The claim may be issued by AM Parking Services directly or by solicitors acting for the parking operator.

To defend a AM Parking Services Court Claim, you must:

  1. Prepare a Defence Document addressing the grounds that apply to your case.
  2. File your Defence with the CNBC before the deadline on your claim form.
  3. Respond to any further court correspondence, including the N180 Directions Questionnaire.

If you do nothing, the court enters a default judgment against you. A CCJ can affect your credit file for six years.

Review AM Parking Services Defence Grounds

Use the widget to understand the main AM Parking Services Defence grounds that may apply. Parking Mate UK uses your documents and answers to decide which grounds should be included in the AM Parking Services Defence.

Strategy step: start with the strongest point, usually keeper liability, vague pleadings, signage, or authority, then build supporting factual and fee arguments around it. Courts respect focused, evidenced arguments.

POFA & Keeper Liability

No right to pursue the keeper

Strong defence ground
What it means

The claimant may only pursue the registered keeper if it complied with Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4, or if it can prove the defendant was the driver.

How to defend it

State that no admission is made about the identity of the driver. If the claimant seeks keeper liability, require strict proof of POFA compliance, including notice content, service, timing, parking period, keeper warning, and the right to recover only the unpaid parking charge.

Evidence required

Notice to Keeper, Notice to Driver if any, proof of posting or service, DVLA keeper request records, photographs relied upon, and the claimant's explanation of how POFA liability is said to arise.

Defence wording style

The Defendant was the registered keeper. No admission is made as to the identity of the driver. The Claimant is put to strict proof that it has complied with Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 and that liability has lawfully transferred to the keeper.

HMCTS explains that small claims mediation is a free telephone session with a trained mediator. Their official guidance says mediation has settled around half of these small claims without a court hearing.

Parking Mate UK builds your mediation script around your AM Parking Services Defence so you can negotiate your position and try to resolve the case without speaking to a judge or attending a court hearing.

When it happens

Around Day 60

Document provided

4. AM Parking Services Claimant Bundle Review

If the mediation appointment is not successful, the claimant may send their bundle and explain in more detail why they pursued the claim in court.

Parking Mate UK reviews the bundle against your AM Parking Services Defence grounds, the Private Parking Sector Single Code of Practice, and POFA 2012 Schedule 4 requirements.

When the claimant uploads their evidence bundle, you upload it to Parking Mate UK so the key weaknesses and response points can be reviewed.
