    Thank you

    If it turns out I hadn’t updated the address when the PCN was issued, do I have no case ? The ccj was issued 2.5 years on - it’s crazy that they can’t do an address check on you using the electoral roll.

    If I’d have received the court documents I would have paid it just to avoid any sort of CCJ and negative affect on my credit file.

    Would you recommend using the template from other threads ?

    this is the thing

    parking/dvla rules set a max time to get info and once only , parking cos lovev c to give defaults , no fighting or court costs , get away with asking figues a judge would laugh oujt of court ,

    very often this is "credit clamping" , where wiythin a few days of the CCJ , the misteriously can find you!

    then its a case of pay us £1000000000000 or whatever and we will mark it as satisfied

    very complex , get the DVLA datea then we can proceed

    I’ll enail DVLA first thing tomorrow, cheers.

    Should I try and contact CEL to see if they’d allow me to pay to remove the CCJ or is that just a no no ?

    they will allow you to pay full cost + a court fee , but it would only be classed as satisfied , so still on your record

    await DVLA , then if people think good chance based on info , you will get good help

    It's a no-no, completely. Posters have made that mistake with CEL before.

    Not at all!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    If they havent had contact in 2 odd years, then you have a set aside on the basis of no good service.

  • Thanks for your comment.

    Do you mean that they haven't followed good service by trying to locate an up to date address?
  • Hi - they are corresponding on email interestingly enough. I'll see if they release information without a signed letter and let you know
