Have 4 CCJ's and they are still after more

sillysammy

If anyone can help me I'd be enormously grateful. I know many folk will judge me from what I'm about to write. But no one feels more awful about it that I do. I literally want to cry seeing what's happened here.

I have suffered from some mental health problems in the past. About 4 years ago this resulted in my partner of the time leaving my car outside my mothers house. And it getting quite a few private parking tickets. This was all a bit confusing for me as I wasn't really with it - and just weeks before you could park there.

Anyway fast forward. In late 2016 I ended up with 4 CCJ's. I wasn't speaking to my mother at the time but some mail was passed onto me. The problem was I didn't have anywhere to live. So I couldn't keep up with it. I knew one claim was going through the court - but I couldn't respond as I wasn't in a good place and I was homeless and didn't get mail until weeks/months later.

They even had a HCEO and channel 4 try and take my mums stuff. I was getting better at that point and was abroad. They didn't take her stuff after she did a affidavit saying I didn't live there and it wasn't my stuff.

Anyway... They are not doing more tickets from the same time! I have two claims I'm currently defending. I'm in a much better place now and can stand up for myself. As a former soldier it's very hard to admit I was so weak I couldn't defend myself before. My argument is that my mums lease which she signed 15 years ago said her guests could park there!

Any general advice. Because of this my life is at rock bottom. Although I'm now earning a decent wage I can't rent a place because of these CCJ's. So my partner is probably going to break up with me. We literally can't get a place together. And I am a bit worried about getting more. This time I will fight them all the way to court and will pay them if I lose within 30 days.

Is there any chance I could get these CCJ's set aside and pay or defend them? I can provide Doctors notes to prove I was not well. But I really don't want to air my dirty laundry in public court if possible. I am happy to pay someone to help me if anyone has any recomendation.

Very sorry to hear of your ordeals and what you have been through - that's a lot. Glad that things are improving for you. I am sure some of the more experienced members will be along to give more useful advice. I was just wondering if the citizens advice bureau can help in any way. All the best.

The CAB have taken their script from the BPA ..... the private parking companies’ own trade association, charged with protecting their members’ interests. Their interests have a fairly narrow focus - penalise the motorist in order to generate profit. Not much else .......

Sorry, I didn't know. Anyway, hopefully someone can help sillysammy.

Are these all CCJs?

Or are the new ones, recent (March) claim forms that you need to defend? If so, what are the dates on the new claim forms?

sillysammy

I have submitted my defence already. Namely that the tenancy agreement states I can park there...

And yes I have 4 CCJ's already. I wasn't able to defend them before.

I will now need to try and get them set aside.

OK, so read other set aside 6 point order threads, those are your forum search words.

And re the one(s) you are defending, is there more than one current claim or just one?

Show us the defence you used so we can help you later, at WS and evidence stage.
