ll, I received a fine from the co op in chingford london last year for going over the time by about 15mins. I researched the company and by advice found I ignored all letters, ive received about 5 over the last year. 2 days ago i received a brown envelope that has a claim form inside and then separate it has some paperwork to fill out its called a response back. the claim form is for the northampton claim court but where the issue date and claim number is there is a sticker over it with a barcode and some numbers. It then has their address, my details and a stamp that says date of service 2 jul 2014 and another stamp that has a crown on it and says the county court. it has the preferred court for hearing is barnet civil and family court and the amount claimed is 130 plus 35 court fee. at the bottom left corner it has N1 claim form cpr part 7 12.12 on the 2nd page it has details of the claim etc and my car reg (which i dont actually own anymore anyway) it has a printed name which i wont put on here and then a signature and position held is manager. Ive googled it a bit and some say its another scare tactic and that the form can be downloaded off the internet and that the stamps can be easily gotten hold of etc, but then others have said it is official and should be paid before court - advice please? After further research people are saying to defend it and write to Co op. Is this the head office ? My letter is exactly the same as the other one on here so are they actually genuine ?
