Claim form received

terry9999

Hi,

My partner has received a claim form for the County Court Business Centre for an un paid parking ticket and I'm looking for advise on how to proceed. The unpaid fine was for Willon Lake in Milton Keynes and a company called MIL Collections Ltd have now bought the 'debt'. I have uploaded a picture showing the info and looking at the county court stamp and the county court logo these are very pixelated and do not look genuine.

I would appreciate any advise you can give me thanks.

Best regards,
Terry

You need to show the link to the pic
use hxxp:// instead of http and someone will make it live for you

Best to treat it as genuine, they do take people to court

hi yes this is the place, car park was full so we parked on a grass verge, there was not a sign near where we parked saying about paying ect so we thought it was not part of the car park

Interesting. We had a Napier case which went to court papers via Gladstone the other month:

But you are best looking at examples of MIL defences like on cueball's thread (not his short & weak first draft!):

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5528717

Read HO87's posts about MIL cases by clicking on his username and 'see posts'. It is important to include in your defence the legal points about assignment, champerty and maintenance and you can use the cases cited by HO87 where endless MIL efforts have been thrown out by the courts.

And as this is Napier, one point WILL be a lack of signs, normally their car parks have a huge 3000 word sign at the entrance (far too many terms to possibly read before parking!) but a lack of terms dotted around. And as you say, the car didn't even appear to be in the car park boundary that any signs seem to relate to.

Acknowledge the claim urgently (online on MCOL) as explained in bargepole's advice about what to do when/what boxes to tick, which is linked as the second link under the heading 'Small Claim?' in the NEWBIES PLEASE READ THIS FIRST' FAQS sticky thread.

Then you will have bought more time, extended your time to 28 days instead of 14, to defend. Show us your MIL-style defence draft later this month. You will also find examples on pepipoo forum, where HO87 also posts.

Almost no-one loses a defended MIL claim, so take heart. And this is no huge risk either, no CCJ and no solicitors fees.
