    I am really not in a position to afford the amount or get a CCJ
    The following information is given on the basis that you lost your court case (but please note what Coupon-mad says).
    Lucky you found us then, because this forum has a win rate no other forum/purported service/individual can get within touching distance of - a 99% win rate (counting Defendants who stick around and follow all advice and are coached up to the hearing).
    If you lose, these are the likely costs you face:

    Original parking charge - £100
    Court filing fee, pre-paid by the PPC - £25
    Court hearing fee, pre-paid by the PPC - £25
    Max capped PPC legal fees - £50

    Now I make that a maximum of £200. Less than they’re asking you to stump up now.

    And further - and only if you lose (again note C-m’s advice) - there is only the prospect of a credit trashing CCJ if you ignore/refuse/forget to pay the costs awarded against you by the judge’s deadline of (usually) 1 month to make payment. Every reason to fight this!
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
