Court Claim received & AOC done, as per newbies thread. Please help?

HoneyHazel

Long time supporter of the cause and altruism showed on this forum. Wondering if help can be provided.
Details of situation below:

Registered keeper parked in NCP car park on 28/04/18.

Ticket machine was not working so ticket was not purchased.

ANPR captured upon entry and exit.

Purpose of parking was for funeral and registered keeper was under understandable emotional duress at the time contributing to impaired cognitive function and unstable decision-making.

Date of Offence: 28/04/18

Various debt recovery letters were received - all ignored.

BW Legal letters received including LBC - all ignored. Admittedly, against advice given on forum. Head in Sand, running from responsibility, etc. Apologies.

Received County Court Claim in post. Date of issue: 18/10/18.

Have logged AOC and have started new thread as per newbies post #2.

As mentioned, would humbly appreciate help and advice at this juncture and remain admirable of the cause.

Redx

Date of issue: 18/10/18.

You have 33 days frmo the date of issue.
Post 2 of the newbies thread gives you examples to follow.

WHich car park? Was it on railway land?

HoneyHazel

thanks for your replies nosferatu1001 and RedX - have read through multiple responses of yours on the forum so appreciate you taking the time to reply to this issue. to confirm, AOS has been submitted online. (apologies Redx)

Car park was not on railway land. It is an NCP car park with ANPR functionality.
Reluctant to post location owing to mentioned 'lurkers' on these threads.

Have read through the various defences on post #2 and believe the defence for suitable for this issue would be the 'Pay and Display and App' defence. App did not work and pay and display machine was not working too, as mentioned. Obviously, will not copy defence word for word but will use as a guide.

thanks again and will draft my defence and post on here asap.
