Hi Guys
I'm new to this - already posted this in wrong forumw this morning!! Doh!
The DRIVER parked in a private car park (with Stapark signage and anpr) to unload the car for a village table top sale and the organiser said dont worry about paying as your just dropping your stuff off as they were doing the selling. So the driver parked , unloaded for around 30 mins at 9am then went back around 1430 again for around 30mins to pick unsold stuff up
Subsequently I the Keeper started receiving PCN notices from zzps. I ignored all correspondence that they sent through as was told by locals that no one paid in that car park.
( if the driver has ever used the car park for actual parking they do pay which they have texts confirming)
So I ignored the letters from zzps and then the solicitors wright hassell sent me letters threatening a CCJ
the driver has never responded or called either company
I hadnt heard anything since around July and haven't had a letter before Court come but this morning I've received the claim form from the county court the claimant being - CEL
I don't know what to do now??
Any help would be really appreciated
Thanks in advance
Aimee

edit the above and remove any hint of who was driving
use THE DRIVER and THE KEEPER to describe those entities
you fill in the AOS online on the CCBC website , not putting anything in the defence box
read post #2 of the NEWBIES sticky thread, especially the BARGEPOLE walk through and do the AOS online on the MCOL website
do not write anything at all in the defence box
once the AOS is done , you have extended the deadline from 14 days to 28 days to submit the defence
read about a dozen similar CEL court case threads posted over the last 2 weeks, so you understand the process and advice and the key defence points
it is unlikely that you will be using any of the paperwork you were sent as the defence will be emailed as a completed pdf once completed and sanctioned for submission0 -
Hey Redx
I've read your advice and gone through the newbie section on claims and a lot of the newest cel threads but can't really see any similar to mine so don't really know where to start with a defence of their claim against me - signage- it is clear as I've used it prior to this ,
I don't know where to start and feel a bit overwhelmed
Sorry to sound like a total sap!!0 -
edit post #1 again so that any hint of who was driving is removed
ie: The driver has never been named
when the driver uses that car park the driver always pays
etc
then start to adapt this recent CEL defence to suit

Thanks Red
It's so easy to trip yourself up! Do they get a time limit to make a claim to a County Court? The date of parking ticket was issued 0412160 -
Please Google it - anyone has 6 years to being proceedings for debt.
You do not need to find an example similar to yours. Please use the NEWBIES thread and promise us you won't come back shrieking for help when, after you defend this you get the boring DQ form (fully expected piece of paper from the court).PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

6 years (72 months) for england and wales (5 in scotland)
its been that way since the small claims court was introduced back in 1973 (I think Ted Heath was PM back then) so not new , 44 years is a long time but the only changes are that its moved on line and recently had new protocols put in place (18 days ago)0 -
Hi Guys ,
I've done the AOC on MCOL and have started to draft a defence from the other ones that you recommend I look at - here it is so far ...I feel though that I couldn't really put a lot about signage as the driver has paid in that past ? What are your thoughts? As the driver picked up and dropped off items in the same day could this be put in the defence?0 -
