They said outstanding... anything outstanding...

Gladstones Solicitors or ES Parking, the same bunch Just had to phone them to pay of the CCJ. After i paid it the woman told me to hold while she checked if I had any further fines to pay! Cheeky, or what? SPEEDJAWA

You answered your first question yourself. I listened to everything they said. What I did wrong was to email my defence to the wrong email address which meant I went over the time allowed to put in the defence. Also, you say you've looked at this stuff for 6 years. It's my first time. Not easy being confronted by 6 pages of court jargon. Especially difficult after chemotherapy, Oesophageal cancer and open heart surgery within 15 months. Also, the solutions were flying in from different sources which I found very confusing.

For the umpteenth time, the email address I sent my defence to, and the email address from which they retrieved it from earlier is... :[email protected] That's it. That's where they found my attachments. No idea how, must be magic. I can't tell you any more. It was the acknowledgement email that could not be replied to. I get that. I see that all the time. All I did was fill in the form hit the return button, attached the file and hit go! It went - they just didn't open it until this afternoon when they looked for it.

It went to the address quoted above. As far as I remember, the AOS went to [email protected].

Auto Response - DO NOT REPLY This is just the acknowledgement of receiving my email with the attachments which I sent to: [email protected]. I wouldn't reply to this. This is like 99% of their email - it cannot be replied to. SPEEDJAWA

Probably not. I asked if I could fill it in and return it via the email address that it came from. She said that would be fine. When I spoke to them, they found the attachments right away. However, theygave me the answer I passed to you - Pay up £275 and they will look into setting asside the CCJ.

I have a choice. I can pay the court £275 to have them look at the possibility of setting aside the CCJ or pay the swindlers £287. They found my defence which went to the wrong email address, although it was the return email, that I was told I could reply to. As you are aware, most emails cannot be replied to. So I just sent a return email. I may end up paying the court and then paying the swindlers. It's a lose lose situation. SPEEDJAWA

Just got an answer. The courts are in cahoots with the swindlers. I missed the date despite the fact they have now found the defence I submitted. They tell me that I sent it to the wrong email address (actually the email address I was told to send it to) and because they didn't get it on time all I can do now is to pay £270 to file another defence and hope for the best. So... Do I pay the court £270 or the swindlers £287? All this for being legally parked in a space I pay for in a block payment. SPEEDJAWA

So I did file a defence? Seedjawa

No. I made the mistake of presuming I was dealing with honest people.

Email the forms went to: [email protected] So I'd better pay up, then?

I'm really sorry. I'm struggling with all the instructions and not sure exactly what I need to do. Claim History.pdf

Sorry if I needed to redact anything. I didn't vanish - I was waiting for ES Parking to send me a reply. I thought I had registered a defence with the court. This is all new to me. Is there anything that can be done or do I just pay up? SPEEDJAWA N9b Defence sent.pdf

I suppose I've blown it? The court emailed me some (what I thought were) defence forms to fill in. I filled them in, returned them by email. Sent ES Parking a request for a CPR31.14 which they ignored. Iv'e spoken to the court and they tell me I now have a CCJ against me. What really hurts is that I was parked legally in a car park that I pay for. SPEEDJAWA
