CEL - Letter Before Claim

Options
Hi All,
in addition to my existing thread (apologies for starting a new one) However I wanted to bring to attention a related question and posting on the existing thread thus far has not been unsuccessful over the last few days and I am working to a tight time frame.

I am currently preparing a defence against a county court claim form issued by CEL for unpaid parking charges.

Brief background: PCN issued in September 17, all correspondence ignored including letter before claim (dated Dec 17) Appeal made directly to CEL in January 18 which was rejected. Nothing received further until CCC from Northampton Business centre on October 18

I am citing in my defence that the Claim form from CEL has been incorrectly submitted (goes to show the level of competence of these people.) On looking at the letter before claim from them I noticed that it has not been signed (!) and refers 'the key terms of the signs summarised in the attached schedule of information' - No such schedule of information was attached. My Question is: Can i refer to the errors on the LBC as part of my defence or is it irrelevant now that that stage has passed. In my mind they are referring to a schedule of information stating key terms of the sign which has never been evidenced?

Thanks in advance for reading
