Hi. I received a parking fine in December 2015 from Vehicle Control Services Ltd. as I had a valid ticket on display in my vehicle, I appealed this fine online. I received no response. I resubmitted the appeal. I then heard from a debt recovery agent in June 2016, I advised them of my appeal and lack of response to which no action was taken.
The car was registered at my home address for the duration that I owned the vehicle. I have requested confirmation of this from DVLA.
I own a property which I rent out. I visited this property yesterday and my tenants handed me some letters. This was unusual as I have never had mail to this property. The letters were dated June/July/August 2019. I received them on 25 September 2019.
They were from a solicitors advising that if I didn’t pay the fine it would be taken to court. One was from the court inviting me to a judgment hearing in July 2019.
I rang the solicitors who advised a CCJ was issued to me in my absence.
The credit referencing agencies have said they can not remove this CCJ from my record. I would like to request it is removed on the following grounds:
1. The parking ticket was wrongly issued
2. If for any reason it was not wrongly issued, I was not informed following my appeal or later
3. The car was never registered to the address the letters were sent to so I was not aware of the legal proceedings
4. The property is occupied by tenants who only just gave me the mail.

The lendercourt . Com website Have a service at £499 for the removal plus court fees.
Is this my best option?
