That's real enough. You need to follow the instructions on the letter and ensure, as a priority, you acknowledge service of the claim, this will provide a further 14 days over and above the standard 14 days to file your outline defence. Do not fail to acknowledge service, otherwise you lose automatically and a CCJ will be awarded against you by default.

You should scratch out the County Court claim number from the photo you've uploaded as it identifies you to the PPC.

I have gone online now and have filled out the Acknowledge service of the claim. It said it was confirmed etc. Im moving on to sending Part 18 now.

When you say scratch out the CC claim number will they identify me from here???

How many days does it say in the basic particulars, until they serve you with 'detailed particulars'?

It says " I will provide the defendant with separate detailed particulars within 14 days after service of the claim form"


Who do I send my Part 18 Request to?

Many PPCs monitor this and other similar forums (some even employ drones to do just that). It's always best to stay as anonymous as possible, then there's no inadvertent slip ups ..... for the sake of scratching out a few digits!

There is an example in the BMPA links already given in Garasantinos' thread and the BMPA example and advice show it goes to the claimant.

Submitting my acknowledge thingy gives 28 days correct?

Redx

28 days from the start of the claim, not 28 days from when you acknowlege, in other words it adds 14 days onto the deadline

As Redx says. NO. Not 28 days from now. As long as you leave the defence box completely blank (not a word in it) this merely extends the 14 days you had, for a further 14.

Surely you have now found plenty of basic appeal summary 'bullet point/short paragraphs' examples to crib from? Loads of defences to search for on here, loads on pepipoo, and advice on the BMPA website and the Parking Prankster blogs too.

Post here what you intend to use and we'll add more if we think you've missed anything crucial.

Please also provide the date these signs were installed, for example, a works schedule, maintenance record or invoice for the work.

I have done that but what goes at the beginning where I have left it as XXXX

Your local court of course. And the claimant is them and the defendant is you.

Wow, you need to get wise. This doesn't bode well if you can't understand basic paperwork. Sorry...

...and this (below) is obviously a NOTE from the BMPA to help you understand what to ask, so remove it, of course, surely it's clear you wouldn't leave that here:
