Parking Eye - County Court Claim Form Received

Redx

all a SAR does is to obtain all the data a company has on you, in this case documents and pictures etc, of more use at the WS + Exhibits stage , nothing to do with writing your defence (the defence is not the coupon mad template which she clearly stated is not for Parking Eye cases due to the fact they dont add spurious costs to the court claim)

learn the basics here

any SAR goes to the DPO using the legal beagles template and has been that way for 2 years since GDPR came in , then you can check for POFA compliance etc, plus what their pictures may or may not reveal

also , I fail to see why you have not complained to ASDA in any of this saga !!!

So is it too late/there's no point writing to P/Eye for SAR? I should write a defence straight away?

Yes, send a Subject Access Request to ParkingEye.

Yes, write a Defence straight away.

As above, send the SAR first as it is very quick and easy to do. It goes to the DPO of Parking Lie. You should be able to find the contact details of their DPO on the privacy section of their website.
The NEWBIES tells you what to put in the SAR.

Next, check if the NTK was or was not PoFA compliant by comparing it with the "golden ticket" example in the NEWBIES. If it matches the example in the NEWBIES then go back and edit any of your posts where the driver's identity has been given.
Examples of this would be where someone has said, I was the keeper and driver, or I drove, or I parked, or I saw, or I did not see signage etcetera.

Again, this won't take long so do it today.

If you don't have a golden ticket then it doesn't matter and can be left as it is.

You have just over a week to submit your defence. It is possible that your court will be putting this case on hold but assume you need to comply with the date to submit unless you find anything to the contrary. If you contact the court expect a long delay.  If your case is going to be deferred you need to get it in writing so contact by email/webchat/Q & A options or website notices would be better.  
Take copies of any gov.uk/parliament/court statements concerning court cases, court bailiff seizures, debt enforcement etcetera being put on hold, and keep them safe.

Get pics of the site and signage, and find one of the 16 existing defences as already advised that closely matches your case.

Normal defence points would be (where relevant)

Not the landowner
No standing (no valid contract) to issue charges or commence court proceedings
Inadequate signage
Non PoFA compliant NTK
BPA CoP failures
Grace periods

A landowner complaint/cancellation is always the first thing to try and should have been done when the NTK was originally received, but it's still not too late to try this.

You should also complain to your MP about this unregulated scam.

Thanks very much for your respond. How do I make sure I've got a golden ticket or not? I can post a pic if necessary.
I'm not a native so I'm not quite sure I understand everything correctly.
I went to the car park today and took some pictures.

As Fruitcake says "compare it with the 'golden ticket' example in the NEWBIES"

hatman404

I guess I don't have a golden ticket

Redx

its the NTK you are checking for the golden ticket , not the claim form above

KeithP

You've left your MCOL password visible on that image.

hatman404

What if I haven't received NTK? 
Thanks KeithP, I've deleted it 

Coupon-mad

You have.  It was the first letter, the PCN. 
The NEWBIES thread tells you it might not be headed 'NOTICE TO KEEPER' and they are often not.

Your draft defence looks fine and you main points are about the grace periods and the signs.
