Hi guys,
was wondering whether you could help with this 
DRIVER has received a letter from the “County court business centre”
ordering DRIVER to pay parking eye ltd £175 for a fine that they issued 6 months ago not too sure how to tackle this....  remember that day all the barriers were broken so DRIVER passed through without pressing the butting as there was no barrier 🤷🏼‍♂️

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated 

Thanks

1) did you get any letters from parking eye? Yes or no
2) is your car correctly register3d at your current address? Check your v5c. No guessing 

3) did you get ANY court letter prior to the judgment?
4) what is the date on the judgement?

Have you received a County Court Claim Form or a Judgment?

1) did you get any letters from parking eye? Yes, two but was advised to ignore them 
2) is your car correctly register3d at your current address? Check your v5c. No guessing . Yes it is 

3) did you get ANY court letter prior to the judgment? No
4) what is the date on the judgement?
issue date is - 15/06/20 

But I received it today

It says claim form...
county court business centre it’s not a judgment

With a Claim Issue Date of 15th June, you have until Monday 6th July to file an Acknowledgment of Service. If possible, do not file an AoS before 20th June, but otherwise, there is nothing to be gained by delaying it. 

To file an AoS, follow the guidance in the Dropbox file linked from the second post in the NEWBIES thread.

Having filed an AoS, you have until 4pm on Monday 20th July 2020 to file your Defence.

That's over four weeks away. Plenty of time to produce a Defence, but please don't leave it to the last minute.

To create and file a Defence, look again at the second post on the NEWBIES thread - immediately following where you found the Acknowledgment of Service instructions.

Don't miss the deadline for filing an Acknowledgment of Service, nor that for filing a Defence.

It is not a fine.
The advice to ignore has not been given here since the law changed in 2012. 
Read the guide to court written by bargepole that you will find in the second post of the sticky thread for NEWBIES, and follow the guide precisely.

Do the AoS first as per the guide. That will give you a month to produce a defence. There are seventeen template defences linked in the NEWBIES. Find one that best fits your case and modify it to suit. Post it here for checking before you submit it.

Do you have proof that the barriers were not working? Broken barriers would prevent a motorist from following the Ts and Cs on the signs and would be classed as frustration of contract.
Get pics of the site and signage.
Check whether the NTK is PoFA compliant. If it is not, then make sure the driver's identity is not revealed in any correspondence. You should also edit your forst post and only refer to The Driver and The Keeper, who are two different people in law.
If the NTK is PoFA complaint then identifying the driver won't make any difference.

What happened when you complained to the landowner?

Have you complained to yourt MP yet about this unregulated scam?

Please edit the title to reflect the fact that you have received a LBC not a court order. Please also edit your first post to remove the inaccurate statement that you have been ordered to pay. 
You need to be accurate with all your posts otherwise you will be given incorrect advice.

Click on that cog-like icon top right of your post.

Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams, so consider complaining to your MP, it can cause the scammer extra costs and work, and has been known to get the charge cancelled.

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, when life gets back to normal, it will become impossible for those scammers who are left to continue their vile trade, 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.
