Ok,  I will  the CCBC first thing in the morning. Is there anything I should be doing in the mean time. Any good defence I can reference? 

Thank you. 

Maybe Monday morning would be better!  Read some more set-aside threads, read some posts by one of the regular contributors @henrik777.  You need a witness statement, a six-point draft order and possibly a defence to the underlying claim.  But, as @Umkomaas writes, take a bit of time to digest where you are and do your research.  You are not going to have a CCJ on your record for at least 30 days after the judgment.

Last one from me for now:

Read the NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, second post, about set asides and defending a claim. 

Read the Announcement covering the Defence template. Start thinking about your defence should the set aside be granted.

Thank you. Who should I approach for a witness statement. Can I get a witness statement from my husband? My husband had a knee injury at the time and he was unable to walk a long distance. That’s why I dropped and pick him up from the road. However they had a drop off parking point for £3ish.

You can get a witness statement from any material witness to the event that supports your defence. Make sure it is signed under the latest statement of truth.

Plus it’s not just about red lines.  What about repeater signs with a clearway logo, actually facing oncoming traffic, placed prominently beside the kerb at very regular intervals, and fully lit in hours of darkness?

Also, as @Redx points out, he thinks VCS issue PENALTY charges!

Check your PCN paperwork , parking or penalty ?

If it's Parking , the MP should reply and am why VCS are issuing Parking charge notices instead of penalties , under what legal authority are they allowed to issue either of them , and why do they issue a parking charge notice and not a penalty notice. Plus are they issuing it under bylaws or Civil contract laws ?

Is it because they are not allowed to impersonate a legal authority ? So not like a council for example , or the police ?

@Coupon-mad
They have well signed on the road that it is prohibited parking. I went and double checked at the time. 😔😏

@redx
It’s a Parking Charge Notice. I have been in touch with the late MP of Southend. I have now contacted the current MP explaining everything. 

Can anyone advise me if I can get a statement from the MP for my defence? I believe that many of the public already reported to this and hence may be a statement from him benefits?

Your witness statement is written by you as you are applying for a set-aside; read some threads written by others who are in the same position as you; also read the posts by @henrik777 that I pointed you to.  Your husband can provide a witness statement for the underlying claim when that resurfaces.

Dear all, 
I spoke to the CCBC and gave me two options, pay the full amount or set aside. He told me if the set aside judgement delay after the 18/3/22 and if the judgement is not in my favour then it will be in my records for 6 years. He was saying it best to pay the full amount £726.08 before 18/3/22. 

Please advise?

Didn't you read my post on 19/02 at 09:30am?  I get so demotivated.

Please don’t… you are so helpful. It’s me so stressed over everything and trying to be calm. I have read your entry.
I have time till 18/3/22, should I apply for set aside or not pay? I purely couldn’t respond as I was out of the country for a month. I do not want it affect my credit score.
