Which court has sent this?
Is the the County Court Business Centre in Northamptom or somewhere else?

Originally CCBC Northampton but now the correspondence is coming from the judge at The CC local to me 😕

Oh, if I knew which court, I could help further.

Good luck.

Yes, you have been ordered to file an amended defence, so you must do so
You must admit or deny every one of their allegations

Mainly their signage is the isssue. Hardly any of it and the signs they do have are so high up. At the time I had no idea they had a maximum stay as there’s so many shops there it’s like a mini shopping centre with morrisons next to it etc.
The PCN is from over a year ago so I’m alot more careful where I park these days.
I can’t really deny I stayed over there apparent 3 hours. I only have their word for it that the ANPR technology they use is correct.
Apparently if you stay over 3 hours or if you park in a disabled bay with a badge you agree to pay £100 😂
Also the signage states to settle the charge at a further reduced rate call xxxxx before leaving the site!? Additional costs incurred if payment isn’t made within 28 days.
It doesn’t even make sense! How could you settle the £100 charge if you don’t know you’ve been fined!!?
Also I wasn’t given any offer of paying less than £100 which is why I chose to not pay it!
They mention due the the ‘violation’ the DVLA provides them with my address.
They also claim to have added interest of £11 since they submitted the original POC thus changing the amount owed!
I’ve still got a fair bit of research to do before I submit any further defence although any advise on this is welcome.
Thanks for your help 😃

so do as they say and draft and submit and amended defence to the court and to the claimant

see post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread near the top of this forum for inspiration, starting with the BARGEPOLE defence of your choosing and adapt it accordingly


draft it in WORD, print it , sign and date it , scan it back to pc and save as a pdf


then submit the signed pdf

Hi, I'm still writing working on my defence, its taking longer than I thought :rotfl:
I just wanted to ask what your thoughts are on ANPR - is there anything I appeal against them on this?. Apparently there system says I was 28 minutes over the allowed time, Ive only got their word for it. This is one of the points I'm asked to respond to along with a breakdown of their exaggerated charges - £100 PCN, £96 debt recovery, £40 admin & £11 interest!
Also I'm not sure I can answer why I haven't replied to any of their letters!!? :rotfl: Mainly as the first letter I received was well after they claimed to have posted it so it was too late to appeal.
Thanks in advance

Remeber you are AMENDING the defence you ALREADY FILED
You ned to strike out any deletions and additions are made in red.

There is no debt recovery. Thats a lie. They havent paid anyone £100 to recover £100. That is insane. You require proof it was paid. Interest IS of course allowed. Admin isnt. ITs literally their job, theyre employing people to do this...

Oh no really? I’ve literally built up a whole new defence. When you say ‘strike out’ do you mean delete it or does it need to be on the defence but with I line through it?

While I’m going through some of the paperwork I’ve realised there’s actually two claims, ones for a completely different carpark somewhere else!(although no court proceedings for that YET) what a nightmare.

On my previous defence I mentioned I’d be claiming £19 per hour from them(perhaps I was going to far with that.. should I take that off or do I just leave it now.

Thanks for your help,
I hope they all choke on their Xmas turkey.

Yes, it means exactly what you say, this way the judge can see that it has been amended and not written anew.
