Civil Enforcement Limited Claim Form

blaser24nig

Hello everyone, I have just received a claim form from CEL for £326.36 for parking in a KFC restaurant in April 2017. I remember ignoring the letters and now they have sent me the claim form from the court. I did enter the car park and time spent there was 2 hours and I was caught by ANPR (says so on the form).

Can I appeal this or I just have to pay it as they are threatening CCJ ?

What did you learn when you read Darkin43's thread with the same title as yours?

Of course you cannot 'appeal' a claim form. Do the AOS first, as you will (hopefully) have read when you first looked at the sticky thread at the top of the forum:

NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST.

What you need to do, is defend, then follow all court letters/directions properly, and then CEL will later discontinue, as you will learn when you read all the other CEL court threads (no-one has to go to a hearing an no-one here has lost).

I apologise. I was meant to ask what and how I go about it. I have read a few threads and it!!!8217;s a lot of information which gets a bit confusing. Once again sorry ...

I have read a few defences on here and they seem to have have actual defences which I don’t have. Is there a generic defence I can compile and send ?

No generic defence and there shouldn't be.

Post #2 of NEWBIEs sticky thread near the top of the forum is where you look to do your AOS.

Then as mentioned in the same sticky thread:
Search for CEL and cut and paste from other thread's(cases) relevant bits from their defences to make your own tailored defence.

I have done my AOS already. Just need to prepare my defence now. Thanks

All the CEL defences you see here are pretty generic, didn't you think? Copy one & adapt it.

Thanks guys, I have now sent my DEfence via email.

There are plenty of similar Met/McDonalds cases on here, have a look at them

Wait, did you not want us to have a look at it, in case you made some errors???

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of contracts for alleged parking offences. [/FONT]
