Have you actually attended a hearing at your local county court, or have you simply received a court claim from the Northampton CCBC?

Recieved a court claim. Not attended any hearing. Gave me 14 days to act on it.

in which case thay have not taken it to court yet, as no court near you has been allocated at the moment


its a genuine MCOL from the government office in Northampton


do the AOS online and then start to draft your defence , otherwise you will get a default CCJ in your name

Worried Jim gave you the link to the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, you then need to scroll down the sticky until you reach post #2. Each post has a number in the top r/h corner. This one is #8 on this thread.

Some of the posts in the sticky are quite long, so you'll need to scroll down a fair way.

Can you see it now?

If someone is kind enough to guide me through this step by step al be really grateful. Just want to get out of this mess. But also don!!!8217;t want to pay as I didn!!!8217;t not park the car and leave the vehicle unattended. I was inside and was only there for 15 min.

It's physically impossible. We deal with 70 - 80 cases each day, most wanting the personal handholding you are looking for if they could get it. But there's no more than about half a dozen regular contributors 'on duty', making expert inputs, on any given day.

That's why the NEWBIES FAQ sticky was written, otherwise the forum would simply implode and disappear.

Much of this has to be self-help, with advice provided by regulars to keep you on the right lines.
