Thanks for your help ericsbrother. Much appreciated. I will let you know the outcome! (I can't see any PP for the signs on council website btw)

Thanks for the replies. No, there is no way of applying for extra time if you stay over. Do I take that up with Covers (they are a builders merchants) The car park is very close to a railway station and I was taking the train (totally unaware of the new restriction otherwise I wouldn't have parked there). I missed the signs at the entrance and parked behind a bush from which you cannot see the signs. They aren't very prominently displayed unless you park on a certain side of the car park. Is my best bet to appeal to Covers?

Y 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Y 6 Have you appealed? N 7 Who is the parking company? Parking eye 8 Where exactly Covers, Portsmouth For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under POPLA Hello, hope somebody can help me! Have been using this car park for many years - it's always been free with no restrictions - it also serves a rugby club and nursery I have phoned Covers today and they have told me they own the land. I also asked how long the restrictions have been in place and they said around a month. The car park is never full (except on match days) but the 4 hour restriction only applies on weekdays).

I'm with you. Invaluable advice I'm so grateful. Will keep you posted. Thanks again

Thank you so much, excellent advice. Are they more likely than not to turn up do you think? And can they produce the paperwork on the day?

Can anyone help please? Would be very grateful for any advice!

I now have a hearing date for a couple of weeks time. Still not heard back from Lowells...what can I expect in court? If the documentation I asked for is not supplied by then, what happens next?

Many thanks for your help - much appreciated

Finding this very confusing as they are chasing two debts - am in the process of filling out the forms, but as the CCA requests on one of them were to original creditor and a different DCA should i include them? And mention account in dispute when passed to 3rd party?

Thank you 42man. Have had a read and note that the SD they served me only has three pages - no particulars of debt. Should I mention this in defence? My CCA requests were sent to original creditor and also to subsequent DCA's (along with a letter stating they were in breach by passing to a 3rd party whilst account in dispute). I haven't CCA'd curent DCA as I had returned all communication. Should I do this now, and mention account in dispute? Also I have a deed of assignment on one of the alleged debts, but not the other.

Thanks for your replies. The SD was posted through the door by hand, and CCA requests were made to the original creditor initially about three years ago, and the accounts have been passed back and forth between numerous DCA's - none have ever provided a valid CCA (although they have produced copy agreements).I'm afraid to say as it has dragged on so long and nothing has really happened I didn't really understand the importance of the SD until i had another letter yesterday. Prior there has been no correspondence for around two years as I returned everything unopened.How do I apply for an 'out of time' set aside? Thank you so much for your help.

I would be very grateful if anyone could answer a few questions for me. This is a bit of a minefield for me, but they are threatening to issue a bankruptcy petition. The SD was dated 12th Oct and I know I should have dealt with this sooner - is it too late to apply to have it set aside? The demand is for two separate debts, and been passed from DCA to DCA over the last few years - they arent statute barred however - but I have never received a valid CCA from them despite several requests. Not sure what my best course of action is here - can they really have me made bankrupt for unsecured debts? I've been reading a lot of threads on here which are all wonderfully helpful, but I am very confused as to what I should really be doing, especially as the 18 days have now passed.

Thank you, and thank you so much for all your wonderful advice:D

Thanks:) The court said they wouldn't be sending it in writing becuase teh stay notice said it would be struck out if docs not received. Can I insist on having it in writing?

A quick update - phoned the court yesterday as hadn't heard a thing. Claim has been struck out!! Hurrah! Wanted to thank everyone who has taken the time and effort to respond to this threat, I wouldn't have been able to do it with you. Really, very much appreciated. What are the chances of them restarting the claim? And coud they sell it on?
