Ignore

Apologies - had missed the 'Civil Enforcement Ltd.' bit. Understood now

Redx - I really appreciate your help and understand your description about the speeding. You are right, it is key to read signage every time and I will do in the future.

hurtbuyer - I have ignored letters as when i first googled this i saw 'scam' everywhere so just took that as is. After recent further investigation after being a bit worried by their most recent letter saying something about final notice before court action (what I understand to be the LBC?) - I have searched again and read 'scam' but it seems not a scam to ignore... my mistake for taking it at face value at first.

I read the newbies thread and followed the directions. I used the template and sent through to CEL via their appeals on the website (even though i know this is definitely much later than the allocated time of allowance to do this) I have not yet had a response but it is likely that I won't be able to appeal to POPLA (due to the lateness --- bad mistake by me).

So, as I understand it, I should be expecting to do the AOS and then begin on a defence.. I just wanted to pre-empt this and start researching any angles.

I started reading through the BPA code of practice but ADHD got the better of me. I will revisit and compare to any docs and signage related to my case.

in theory an LoC will come before any MCOL form, due to the PaP oct 2017 protocols that CEL "should" follow

this could be from CEL or from their solicitors, ditto for any N1 MCOL form using the CCBC in Northampton

CEL have 6 years to try a court case for their unpaid INVOICE, which they definitely do in some cases, more so since Beavis lost 2.5 years ago

Yes, waiting on that before the next steps, but just pre-empting it all. Would be great if they don't follow through, but it's probably quite likely as you say.

On a separate note, the parking is owned by a hotel/restaurant which I had visited weekly whilst I was in that area. I asked them if they could revoke this and their response was; "We could have [revoked the fine] if you had notified us earlier, but it's out of our control now".. just out of curiosity, at this late stage could they, in theory, still revoke it or are they pulling the wool over my eyes?

Redx

depends on what it says in their contract with CEL, which they are unlikely to produce

but they could write you a WS supporting you and the fact that they do not wish it to go to court

that would go a long way with any judge

I see, that is very useful information thanks. I will continue to scroll through the forum for more info to take note on.

I will update this thread as and when/if I am at the defence stage and have prepared something. Thank you again for your replies.
