Parking Ticket Help

Haz97
Posts: 2 Newbie
Hello,
Having received a parking ticket in August from a private parking company which I didn't pay I have now received a letter from the court saying I must pay a total of £185.00. I've read throught the newbies thread which is helpful, thanks for that! However I'm now a little bit stuck and have spent a lot of time reading and rereading this along with other threads and still I am none the wiser.
So far I have completed the AoS and have left it at this for now as i am very unsure of the next step. Do I need to do the POPLA? If so what would my arguments be, having looked at the template for the POPLA on the newbies thread I'm a little lost as to what my argument would be.
I initially received photos of just my car which could have been in any area of the world as it was just the front of my car with no context. Now having got the letter about the court case I can look at all the details and they have photos of my car in the car park without a ticket on and also a close up of my car with a ticket on but this could have been taken anywhere and does not place my car in the car park with the ticket on the windscreen.
I ignored the first notice and the second and now have received the court letter through saying i must pay. Just wondering how best to fight this.
Very sorry If these questions are answered in other threads, I'm struggling to make head or tails of them and I'm trying my best. Happy to be directed in the right direction again if that is the best that can be offered.
Thanks in advance!

It looks like you may have received a Claim Form from the County Court Business Centre in Northampton.
Is that right?
If so, can you please tell us the Issue Date on your Claim Form?
What is the name of the parking company?0 -
too late for any popla appeal, that ship sailed long ago, especially as this is now a live court case
name the PPC involved
if this is a current court claim , post the DATE OF ISSUE , and the POC details on that MCOL form, plus the breakdown of charges and total claimed below
as the AOS has been done, the NEWBIES thread tells you to read twenty court case defences etc in other threads on here and then post your own draft below, please do so0 -
Thanks guys, I'm at work at the moment and don't have my details to hand but will post these details once I'm back home.
Appreciate the quick responses.0
