CEL Claim Form - Advice on Defence Please

Berribear

Hi Folks

So I've just received a County Court Claim Form from Civil Emforcement Ltd

I've completed the MCOL and will defend all of the claim, please can someone point me in the direction of a defence draft.

The particulars of their claim are unknown as I haven't received a PCN or follow up letters. However I presume that the PCN was from a local independent supermarket car park for a car I was the registered keeper of, but have since sold. I'm guessing the PCN has been sent to the new registered keeper who chucked all correspondence in the bin

The PCN was almost certainly issued when I was the registered keeper of the vehicle , as the new registered keeper lives half way across the country

thanks

I suggest you adapt this recent one

the NEWBIES sticky thread post #2 will also help

Berribear

Superb, thank you very much

The advice and wealth of knowledge you Guys supply is invaluable. My Wife has been in a really bad way since receiving the Claim Form, so finding this site and all the help from you kind people has brought her much needed relief

Thanks again

Please read other CEL threads and promise not to come back all shocked, when the DQ arrives.

These are easy enough to see off in the end, but what gets my goat in CEL cases (which are invariably discontinued later when well defended) is when people shriek about their darn DQ, the fully-expected next court form...yawn...

Redx

also bear in mind the new oct 2017 protocols for MCOL claims

you should have been provided with all the relevant paperwork etc within 14 days

see recent umkomaas and bargepole posts for details

I've just had to Google DQ

So that's the next stage that CEL go to, try and tack it to Small Claims mediation?

Redx

seeing as you are asking questions like these , its clear you have not read the walkthrough by member BARGEPOLE

please go to the NEWBIES FAQ and study post #2 , ESPECIALLY the Bargepole links (only a fool ignores his advice)

we wont answer questions that are in the FAQ , SORRY

Berribear

Okay, will do.

Going to crack open a Beer and enjoy some bed time reading

Thanks

So you haven't bothered to read post #2 of the NEWBIES thread then.

Berribear

I've been reading as much as I can since the claim form arrived, mostly in a state of panic, so I apologise if everything hasn't gone in as well as it should

Redx

no need to panic , once the AOS was completed the time to deal with it doubled from 14 to 28 days

you wont learn all this in a day , so dont even try
