    You still need to find out why the ccj slipped through the net in the first place. Contact the courts/dvla etc to see what transpires.
    Aready have done, all correspondance comes to my house. I've got a myriad of other fines through just fine and dandy. Even if some weird blip had happened and the letters went to our old address my mum still lives there and brings me any post which has still gone that way. We have been registered at this property for over 6 years and this was sorted immediately with DVLA and any other agencies/ businesses! Very very bizarre! We are on great terms with our postman also, same guy all the time, gladly hides packages for us etc.Personally i dont think the correspondance was ever sent, i can't think of any other reason why we wouldn't have had the letters. Unless parking eye conceal them in Toolstation/Screwfix envelopes that is!

    Your opinion about what happened and why is about as useful as mine.

    You need to check. Checking is the ONLY way to find out what has happened and why. Furthermore it is the evidence produced by these checks which you'll need in order to assist get this sorted.

    One thing i will say, It is highly unlikely court papers were not sent. It's more likely they went to the wrong pace than got lost.

    Who do i check with?
    The DVLA have the vehicle registered to my house. Parking Eye use the information off the DVLA, County Court uses information off Parking Eye.

    Personally I do believe the papers were sent out

    sent out by the CCBC in Northampton, after PE paid for them to do so

    the papers do not come from PE in Chorley, they come from the CCBC in Northampton , so they definitely were not in Screwfix envelopes, its official government papers from a government office , same as the DVLA or DWP , or HMRC

    so as Henrik has pointed out, both he and I believe the papers WERE sent out by the CCBC, especially as its clear that the CCJ also was sent out to the same address and was eventually paid

    prrof of sending is not proof of delivery , but the documents are deemed to have been received 2 days later , even by normal post

    you are asking PE to consent to a with consent set aside where you do all the work and you submit the documents and you pay the £100 fee, a paper excercise, where all they do is rubber stamp your set aside application by agreeing to it (hence why its called , with consent)

    Reverse engineer it. The problem lies at your end, you didn't appear to receive. 

    Who sent it to you ? The court service. Where did they send the papers to ? When ?

    etc

    Until you find the problem. If the last step, court to you is correct,then it's probably a lost in post issue. that's a nightmare scenario as lost post is a frequent occurrence but most folk won't believe it happened if it suits you.

    Why do you have so many "fines", surely if you have been "fined" once, that would be enough to make every effort to abide by the rules of parking.  Not being a harbinger of doom, just genuinely interested.

    90% of the fines are incorrect. ANPR systems that haven't logged the vehicle either entering or leaving. All payments are made via ringo, justpark etc. But many slip through the net. If i'm working in London and travelling from Bolton we might do a couple of toll roads. and 4 different pay and displays in a day. Roll this out over 7 days a week and 5 years in business. Lots of places its cheaper for us to get a fine rather than pay for parking. I currently have 2 projects on the go in Glasgow and my parking tickets come to £30 a day, but it costs me £18 to park for 2 hours at the job and then i have to move the vehicle to another space. Its easier and cheaper to get the £30 fine, have no down time on the job, and its less than the price to park. We had 20 fines from the Black something tunnel in London this year. A fortnight of working away, roadworks outside the tunnel which were blocking the sign saying no vans. 2 trips a day through the tunnel. Hey presto 20 fines. TFL are the worst, we have a dd set up with those for any lads working in London, when we set the system up we clarified with them that we were paid up to date and moving forward all payments were automatic. They clarified this. We then received debt collection letters for tickets that were unpaid AFTER the date of the direct debits being set up. 'Because that's how their system works', we argued back and forth, i submitted requests from the phone conversations, but ultimately we just had to pay the debt collectors. And, the amount of fines we get is irrelevant as anything we receive gets paid immediately if its correct. The problem with this whole saga is, we never received anything. Id argue the fact that we pay SO MANY fines goes in our favor if anything, why would we NOT pay a single fine from months back. It makes no sense.

    but the ones that went "missing" have caused untold grief, you are lucky that its just the one pcn (hopefully)

    a SAR to the DPO at PE will obtain the documents you say never arrived (NTK , REMINDERS , LBCCC etc) , I dont know if the CCBC will let you have copies of their paperwork including a copy of the MCOL but you can ask
