I've been an idiot..Do I now have CCJ against me?

AKA the Claimant needs to ask the Court for the judgment to get it.

In theory, (a hypothesis as I don't know the exact position regarding the judgment) but if you pay this before they request judgment - which they are now absolutely entitled to - then you buy your way out of this without ever receiving a judgment. Obviously copy in the Court to your letter, so that they know the debt is discharged.

By the looks of it the claimant still hasn't asked for judgement. I've only just received the letter from the CCBC through email yesterday. I guess the next step is to contact the claimant, pay them, and then send a copy of that payment to the CCBC?

As for the Question to Leepox, if you can provide inormation as to why you got a ticket in the first place, name of the PPC, and car park then it may be of use to others.

I got a ticket for overstaying in Leicester Forest East services Northbound. I have contacted Welcome Break management and they have been very unhelpful early on. The PPC looking after the location is Parking Eye. Unfortunately it happened on two consecutive days and so I have two "infractions" come in the post at the same time. Both cases I stopped to use the amenities - purchase of food and petrol.

The problem has become so rampant that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. Watch the video of the Second Reading in the HofC recently.

I am glad that this is happening, I feel strongly that their profiteering practices are immoral. Unfortunately me being an idiot doesn't help the cause against them. I can't believe that I am put into a position where I might lose the opportunity to get onto the property ladder because of a stupid parking ticket!

No it isn't. You agree to the charge when you read the sign and continue to use the parking. Don't want to pay then keep within the boundaries of the contract you agreed to or go find somewhere else.

I have to disagree with you Tarambour, I think that you have strayed out of your comfort zone as you appear to know very little about the industry.

I recommend that you listen to the debate on the second reading, all those Honourable Members cannot be wrong surely.

What is the letter about?

Is it actually the judgement against you?

If so, and you intend to pay it then send a receipt for them to sign and return to you along with a stamped addressed envelope with the payment .

Then if they don't inform the court you paid you can do so yourself (a small fee is payable if you have to do this yourself)

This is the email in its entirety:

Unfortunately we cannot process your Directions Questionnaire as it has been received outside of the time allowed. The defence has now been struck out. If you would still like to contest the claim you will need to apply to re-instate the defence. This application should be made using an N244 Application Notice and should be accompanied by a completed Directions Questionnaire. You will need to explain why you did not file your Directions Questionnaire within the deadline provided and why you feel you should still be allowed to contest the claim. All forms can be downloaded from https://www.justice.gov.uk/forms. If the claim against you was for over £10,000 please attach an N181 Directions Questionnaire; for claims of £10,000 or under please attach an N180 Directions Questionnaire. You will need to provide one copy of the application for each defendant, one copy for the claimant and one copy for the court.

There is a £100 court fee to process the application without a hearing or a £255 court fee to process the application with a hearing, payable by cheque or postal order to HMCTS or by card by calling the Helpdesk between 9am and 3:15pm. If you are applying as an individual rather than on behalf of a company and you cannot afford to pay this fee you can check if you are eligible for help with fees by downloading the EX160A booklet.

Please note, applications are not automatically granted. The outcome of your application is at the discretion of the District Judge or court appointed Legal Advisor.


So I don't think I have received an official CCJ yet.

From that letter you haven't.

That letter is advising you how to get your defence reinstated!

So to answer your first question in your #22, NO don't pay them now, either follow the court advice if you want to get your defence reinstated or await the ccj if you have decided to pay

I would do that by Monday morning. You have a lifeline, use it.

You could explain the significant stress of the claim and how you were so distressed you managed to put a defence together but missed the DQ due to (things going on in your life...list them).
