Pcn parking fine

Hello
Please can I have some advice regarding a Pcn parking fine, which I recived in February 2018.

My case is that I had no access to parking outside my house. Next to my house had been a building site for the past year converting a building to around 20 apartments,
Only one two people had moved in at the time as for sale signs in all other windows and always empty car spaces and tradesmen still at finishing off.
I left my car in a space for 2-3 hours and recived a 100 pound fine and 60 at the reduced rate within 14 days .
I was out of the country on holiday for just more then the 14 days and requested I pay it but at the reduced rate in which
CIVIL ENFORCEMENT LIMITED
Agreed
Just in conversation I mention my fine to someone and they told me not to pay it I spoke with several other people who all said the same thing I searched online and also saw people saying not to pay a pcn fine.
I didn’t pay and started to recive higher fines and letters also from a solicitor I was told to expect this and ignored this.
But now I’ve recived a letter from
CONUTY COURT
In Northampton
With a government website (moneyclaim.gov.uk)
For £323 pounds
I just wanted some advice as to what to do .

    Pity you relied on completely out of date advice. :(

    You need to start by reading the Newbies Sticky carefully - This will inform you properly on the current situation with private parking and lay-out what you need to do now.

    its not a "fine" and never was , so dont use the 4 letter F word around here or in court either

    as you now have an MCOL (county court claim) from the governmment centre in Northampton (the CCBC) - you need to

    post the DATE OF ISSUE below

    post the full details from the POC box below too

    then start to read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread, post #2 , third thread down on this forum

    start by doing the OAS which is explained in that post

    then start to draft your DEFENCE to this court claim

    And if your username is your real name, then you need to get that sorted ASAP - PPCs do trawl this forum to try and identify people.

    redact the picture to remove personal info like name , address , reference number and VRM details etc

    host the pic on tinypic

    add a dead URL on here by changing http to hxxp in your reply

    although KeithP wants full details, he doesnt want the ref, or name and address, or VRM details, or claim ref ( ie:- he doesnt want what you are redacting) - none of us do

    so you post all the info minus those identifiers

    remove that link above first

    redact the password near the bottom right (the MCOL login password) on the form

    host the new pic instead and add the dead URL again


    the ISSUE DATE is 17 OCT 2018, in the right hand box, so a start
