I’ve sent off the CPR31.14 to the solicitors. Not heard anything back yet. I’m a bit confused about the defence. Looked at the link that was posted above but it seems to talk about debts and agreements I signed up to. I parked in a free car park, I never got any tickets stuck to the car or letters about what I’m supposed to have done wrong and 6 years down the line I don’t see how I can contest this. I don’t remember what I was doing this time last week let alone 6 years ago.

Yes everything is updated now. I have completed the AOS on MCOL. just writing up the CPR31:14, is it sufficient to email it to them if I can find an email address or would it be better if I mail it to them signed for tracked?

What exactly is my defence? Apart from the fact this is the first correspondence in 6 years and I have not been sent any proof of the occurrence?

It’s S6 2BW I believe. Thanks I’ll remove the claim number

Which Court have you received the claim from ? MCOL Northampton N1 ? Name of the Claimant : Claimants Solicitors: doesn’t say, just signed by Yasmin Mia Date of issue – 9th Feb 2022 Date for AOS - 25th Date to submit Defence - 11th march What is the claim for – 1. The Defendant(D) is indebted to the Claimant(C) for a parking charge issued to vehicle ***** at Bradfield road Car p 2.The PCN details are 01/03/2016,********* 3. The PCN was issued on private land owned or managed by C. The vehicle was parked in breach of the terms on see signs (the contract) thus incurring the PCN. 4.The driver agreed to pay within 28 days but did not. D is liable as the driver or keeper. Despite requests, the PCN is outstanding. 5.The contract entitles C to damages. And the claimant claims 1.£155 in the total of the PCN and damages. 2. Interest at a rate of 8% per annum pursuant to S.69 of the County Courts act 1984 from the date here off at a daily rate of £0.02 until judgement or sooner payment. 3. Costs and court fees What is the value of the claim? Amount Claimed £219.26 court fees £35 legal rep fees £50 Total Amount £304.26 My biggest annoyance is I don’t know exactly where this is. If it is the carpark I am thinking of, it is used for parking so long as you are using the local shops. We’ve never stayed longer than the allotted time allowed as we have a child with additional needs who hates shopping (like her mother) and we have to be in and out. As well as this, there is no proof of when I was there or where abouts in the carpark I parked, and 6 years down the line I have no recollection of this. It is around the time we moved house, so the letters may have been sent to the old house but we collected all our old post from the letting agents after changing address on everything we could think of.

Hello Apologies in advance I’m new to the forums and in a bit of a panic. I have received a claim form N1SDT from the County court business centre on behalf of DCB legal Ltd, For a PCN supposedly issued on the 1st of March 2016. Believe it or not this is the first correspondence I have had regarding this and I’m in a great deal of stress over how to proceed. There is no photograph of the supposed incident although the location they give is near to where I live l, it is for a car that I do not own any more but did in 2016. The particulars of the claim also state that I agreed to pay within 28 days but did not, I don’t understand how I could’ve agreed to pay within 28 days if I did not know about it until now, six years later. The outstanding amount is now £304.26 which includes legal representatives costs of £50 court fee of £35 and the amount claimed £219.26. I’ve had my fair share of parking fines in the past and I’ve always paid them, as they have been when I am in the wrong. This is an extortionate amount of money especially to pay in my current position. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated thank you.
