No Nothing new, no contracts or planning permissions etc. just lots of pictures of the signs and copies of the demands they have sent previously. I havent given any contact details apart from address many thanks

Thank you LFI that makes sense. Just an update. I have received the allocation of small track claim. I have completed the N180 and am about to post. 1 copy to business centre - micky mouse court and 1 copy to claimants sols. I have received a reply re my SARS request from DCB legal pluis a reply to CPR 31.14 request. They have just sent copies of the threatening letters they have previously sent me a and a copy of lots of pictures of the car parking signs in situ within the said car park. will keep you uodated

No, sorry I didnt know that, lol.....I saw others doing it in other threads so thought it was needed, as ive said im not good with tech so still learning.

@lookinforinfo thanks for that. That makes sense but what does this mean for me? Does it mean they will have better chance of success from judge against just the keeper? or will it still boil down to the arguments put forward re the extra amounts added, the signage and any other point I may use in my defence? thanks

Submitted. Will keep you all posted. Much appreciation for your help as always.

Cheers, got it. Im just about to submit this via mcol website. Thank you kindly

Thanks for speedy reply @dx100uk but can you clarify where to find post 3? is the post 3 you are referring to my previous case? thanks

@FTMDave sorry I have only just seen this question you asked me. No both of the cases had already been allocated to a local court. I double checked with MCOL online and they said that my husbands is showing as discontinued and my parents one is still active a bit confused as circumstances were almost identical for the 2 incidents, why they would discontinue one and not the other is a mystery. But the case is set for August 2024 fingers crossed they drop it before then.

Hi guys, I am in panic mode. Can someone please confirm to me the date in which this defence has to be submitted by? I worked out it was by the 1st jan 2024 but really need someone to help me confirm this. Im not in a good place atm, I'll be honest, I am struggling with everything atm, my mental health is not very good, so would really really appreciate some help in getting this done in time. I am finding it really confusing to get started on the defence I need for this particular claim, as it has been mentioned that the defence needs to be tweaked because they are going after keeper as well in POC.... I have all day today and tomorrow to get this done but really need some guidance and confirmation from the experts on here. Thank you much appreciated.

Thanks @Nicky Boy I have just been successful in them discontinuing another parking case against my husband. I am determined to do my bit with your help and fight these tickets. I just wished everyone else done the same because as your forum says, if everyone refused to pay they would be out of business. As if times arent hard enough without these people trying to get money from you grrrr... Ive created the CPR 31.14 ready to send, can I just ask if I need to send to just the solicitors or the claimant as well? Ill get proof of postage Thanks

So do I still have a good defence then?

Thank you for all your comments so far. I thought the same about point 4 in POC re keeper liability etc. There seems to be a bit of confusion with their dates also, because the alleged contravention occured on 17/8/22 but they dont refer to that date at all on the claim form POC only the date of issue. Also on most of the previous threatening letters I received it states that the date of contravention being the 24/8/22 when in fact it was 17/8/22, does this help our situation as this seems a mistake on their behalf (debt recovery plus and dcbl bailiffs) what do yous think? Lastly Im just doing the CR31.14 request. Do I just use the 3 points on the CR31.14 template? or do I need to add anything to that because of point 4 on the POC? sorry bit confused by this and would appreciate some guidance

Was shocked when I opened the letter to see it was a claim form, no notice received of this apart from the last letter I received which I already uploaded in the 1st instance. Its so depresssing Thanks

Hi I already done the AOS today. Which Court have you received the claim from ? MCOL Northampton N1 ? Civil National Bus centre. Northampton Manual Claim CCMCC (Salford) ?
