I'm hoping I can find some help here and after looking through the threads I'm sure the answers there but I'm being blinded by the detail so I hope you don't mind me asking about this specific case:

The driver (not the registered keeper) of the vehicle paid for parking at a car park where you have to enter the reg number
which must have been incorrectly entered(unfortunately no copy of the ticket was retained). Date 4th October.

PCN issued on the 12th October.

For one reason or another (one being a home move and delayed post) the keeper did not inform Britannia parking that they were not driving the car in time before 14 days and then when the fine increased to £100 decided not to respond at all (may be Naively).

Letter received on 12 November stating the fine had now increased to £100 plus legal fess of £60. not paid.

Now received County Court Claim dated 24th January for a total of £237.24.

£162.24 claim (including stat interest of 8% or £2.24)
£25 court fee
£50 legal costs

Its at this point I'm stuck, the registered keeper would like to defend this as they were not driving at the time, also the driver feels that the sum was piad for the parking but cant prove this as may have entered an incorrect reg number.

Getting slightly worried regarding CCJ's and the cost

Hope you someone can help on what to do next and in drafting a defence.
