county court claim - parking at coop

hassony77

So, the same as others it seems, I've received a county court claim for a parking fine that I received for overstaying on the 6th of april last year, I only stayed 1 hour 26 minutes, and I actually did shop at coop at the time

The overall claim is for £215, any way of defending this?

Thanks

Yes there is a way of defending this, and others will help you on that. Can I ask when did you get the claim form?

On the coop you need to make complaints there as you have had a claim in their car park, they are paying CEL to stop small claims, so make those complaints to head office , attach a copy of your claim form to the email and demand that they sort it out

Same as all the other Co-op /CEL Court claims, put a defence in to cover yourself but complain & get the Co-op to pay it off. As you'd have found when you Googled the subject I assume? Threads galore about it all over this forum and pepipoo forum.

Something like this except worded a bit stronger. Include a scan of the claim, and your membership details of the co-op.

Dear Mr Murrells,

I have been a member of the Co-op for x years and spend approx. xxx per annum. On xx/xx/20xx spend xxx during a large shop, but incurred a parking charge notice from CEL. I have now received a county court claim from them.

Can you please contact CEL on my behalf and ask them to withdraw their claim against me, since I am a member of the Co-op and a genuine shopper?

thank you kindly

No wonder the co-op are in difficulty with scum scammers like CEL deliberately pulling fast ones to rake the cash in, shame on the co-op for hireing them, wonder if this was duscussed at there recent meeting?

I would hope they'd be informing any fellow retailers about the joys of sharing a bed with CEL!

How long do the coop take before replaying to emails?

Have you formulated your defence yet? You cannot lose sight of the fact that you must respond to a county court claim otherwise you may get a default judgement against you .
