CSB Solicitors - Small Claim Form

anony-moose

Hi there,

Firstly, I'd like to apologise if this didn't constitute a new thread, but the NEWBIES sticky seemed to suggest that I should do.

I received a PCN on my windscreen at the end of last year and I have now had about 4 letters. The last two (including the claim form that I received today) were a LETTER BEFORE CLAIM and a CLAIM FORM. I had read somewhere that the LETTER BEFORE CLAIM was simply a debt collection attempt and not a true LETTER BEFORE ACTION letter.

I have ignored all of these letters, but gather that I need to respond to the CLAIM FORM one; has anyone got any advice?

I apologise if this is already detailed somewhere else, but I'm a bit confused by all the legal jargon and abbreviations...

Thanks in advance.

A real claim form from the CCBC with a Claim Number top right, or a copy attached to the LBC 'here's what we might do'?

Is the claim form from the MCOL centre in Northampton ??

Yes, I think so, it has a NN1 postcode...

A real claim form - it reads County Court Business Centre in the top right and has a Claim No.

Thank you - I will try to follow this the best I can. I gather that I start with acknowledging service on MCOL:

Should I post screenshots of the claim form or is everything covered in #2 of NEWBIES?

Thanks again - I really appreciate it.

all covered , just acknowledge online , make a note of the password and leave the defence box blank

then start drafting a defence

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone can advise me on putting together a defense...? I have read the guide from the sticky thread, but am unclear which route to go down.

I knowingly parked my car in a residential car park and meant to pick it up the day after, however this was several days due to me becoming ill with Norovirus. I then had a ticket on my windscreen when I eventually managed to pick it up. I then got a small claims form a few weeks ago.

Any help and advice greatly appreciated! Thanks.
