Send a copy of the CCBC claim form plus copy of, say, your council tax bill to prove your address. Do not send passport or driving licence.

Follow THIS link, it takes you to NEWBIE sticky post # 2, which you should have read before posting your initial query. It is all about what to do when you receive a small claims form. Scroll down until you see: -

Here are some cases won or in progress:

Here is a defence

and keep reading the defence examples. They will not all suit your case, so pick out those that do and see how you can adapt one.

[STRIKE]With a Claim Issue Date of 16th September, and having done the Acknowledgement of Service in a timely manner, you have until 4pm on Monday 21st October 2019 to file your Defence.

That's over a week away. Plenty of time to produce a Defence, but please don't leave it to the last minute.[/STRIKE]


When you are happy with the content, your Defence could be filed via email as suggested here:

Print your Defence.
1. Sign it and date it.
   
2. Scan the signed document back in and save it as a pdf.
   
3. Send that pdf as an email attachment to CCBCAQ@Justice.gov.uk
   
4. Just put the claim number and the word Defence in the email title, and in the body of the email something like 'Please find my Defence attached'.
   
5. Log into MCOL after a few days to see if the Claim is marked "defence received". If not chase the CCBC until it is.
   
6. Do not be surprised to receive an early copy of the Claimant's Directions Questionnaire, they are just trying to keep you under pressure.
   
7. Wait for your DQ from the CCBC, or download one from the internet, and then re-read post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread to find out exactly what to do with it.

Looks like a scam, read this

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Nine times out of ten of these tickets are scams so consider complaining to your MP, it can cause the scammer extra work.

Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, many of whom are former clampers, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.

Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies [/FONT]

i have just checked the wording on the claim form it states the date the vechile reg but no address where the the pcn was issued except ******* house
Is that all they need to make a valid claim?

It’s just an indication of their sloppy approach. It doesn’t stop them making a claim. It might be something to build into your defence that it’s unclear as to where the exact parking location was. It’s not a showstopper for you, but they will need to address the point in their Witness Statement.

THIS IS MY DEFENCE
1. The Claimant has supplied no information to support the allegations in the Particulars of Claim, which allegations are denied. The Defendant has asked Claimant for Particulars which are awaited, and reserves the right to make a further response when such Particulars are known.

2. Without acceptance of any liability to the Claimant, the Defendant considers the amount claimed to be excessive, unfair, contrary to that permitted by law, and an unfair abuse of process.

3. The Defendant denies any liability to the Claimant.
