claim form from CEL he;p needed on how to play it

koby83

i have looked threw all of the defences in the newbies thread and these are the only ones i feel apply to me.
I was parked on a free car park for 3 hours which is attached to my gym. I must of overstayed the allotted time as they sent me a pcn with pictures of my car coming and going with the time. i did not admit to driving the car but asked for proof from cel that they had a contract with the landowner but they refused to supply one. I also contacted them to say i wont pay as you did not send the pcn to the keeper within 14 days and they replyied that they did not need to i had misinterpreted the act.
I am now panicking as i thought this defence would be ok and i have worked on it for weeks adding and deleting bits. i am now at a loss of how to make it better and only have a couple of days left to submit

Really??

In post #11 I wrote:

...you have until 4pm on Monday 5th November 2018 to file your Defence.

That's over a week away.


And just to remind you, here is the rest of that post #11:

When you are happy with the content, your Defence should be filed via email as described here:

1) Print your Defence.
2) Sign it and date it.
3) Scan the signed document back in and save it as a pdf.
4) Send that pdf as an email attachment to CCBCAQ@Justice.gov.uk
5) Just put the claim number and the word Defence in the email title, and in the body of the email something like 'Please find my Defence attached'.
6) Log into MCOL after a few days to see if the Claim is marked "defended". If not chase the CCBC until it is.
7) Wait for your Directions Questionnaire and then re-read post #2 of the NEWBIES thread to find out exactly what to do with it.

i have added the following paragraph
does it help?
The facts are that the vehicle, registration xxxx, of which the Defendant is the registered keeper, was parked for a period of time on the date stated by Civil Inforcement Ltd. It is not possible to say what length of time the vehicle was parked for as the ANPR camera only took a picture of the defendants number plate on entering and leaving the site. There has been no consideration of time spend looking for a space, queuing to leave the site or any grace period taken into account.

i know i have a week but i cant print it and sign it until i go to work on monday so probably cant send it till Tuesday or Wednesday so i dont want to leave it until the last minute. i have wriiten down the instructions already about sending it to the email address etc but on reading bargpoles post about how to do it correctly it suggests sending a copy via recorded post so that threw me a bit that is why i am panicking a bit as i wont have time to send a posted copy if i leave it until in the week.

Coupon-mad

I told you exactly which defence to use as your base and who wrote the template and where to find it.

DO NOT stick with the one that was thrown out by a Judge with no hearing!

Please remember that Bargepole's guidance on that point was written two years ago - perhaps at a time when email wasn't fully embraced by the courts service. (Some might say it hardly is now ).

In fact, sending the Defence by email is mentioned on the Bargepole thread you have already seen - see post #7 on that thread.

i will send via email
is the defence ok now with the added paragraph of the facts or do i need to start again? i have no idea where im going here...
