CCJ Issued by UKPC

Hi all
I am seeking advice on what to do about a CCJ that is on my file by UKPC / SCS Law.
It was issued back in 2014 when I apparently parked at a shopping centre car park. I don't have any paperwork for this, I had become aware of it in 2016 but I couldn't afford to do anything about it then and I was just going to let it pass. I am now unemployed and it has already affected me getting one job that I really wanted so I think it is about time I do something about it, especially as I won't have to pay the court costs now.
I have contacted CCBC and they have given me a reference number but that is not the 13 digits that I need to put on my N244. My question is, should I send a SAR to SCS Law so that I will have all of the court claim paperwork and letters that I never received the first time? I know that I might have left it too late; the courts are aware that I knew about this is 2016 as I had contacted them then about it as I didn't know where it had come from, but like I said I couldn't afford to do anything about it. For this reason I am guessing that they might not set aside as I have left it too late. What do you think? I might just take a chance as I am now even more convinced than ever that I don't owe this money because I had only ever been in that area once for work and I don't know why I would have overstayed or not bought a ticket if that is what happened.
Thank you in advance for any responses.

You are too late to get this set aside now
All you can do now is get the CCJ against you marked as " satisfied" (is paid) by paying the claimant in full.
Get a receipt from them (send a prepared one that just needs signing and dating along with a SAE with your payment)0 -
Did you move house at any time since just before the "incident"and had/have you up dated both the car and your licence with the DVLA, separately of course. Just to make sure that you won't be caught out with any other parking invoices.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Not necessarily too late to have a 'free hit' for someone who might not even have to pay the £255 set aside fee:I am now unemployed
I think we should be checking if posters are on benefits that would get the court fee covered, because if so, surely even a late N244 is worth a shot, nowt to lose at all!
The OP needs to check if they can get the court fee covered/reduced, as IMHO it sounds like they can.
The OP also needs to read other recent set aside threads to see what to attach to the N244 and what to say to the Judge, as covered in lots of threads, to satisfy the issues that the Judge will ask. Worth a try - so the OP needs to read recent set aside threads and show us the draft Order they intend to file, with the WS and N244.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
