Hi everyone,
I have been reading previous forums and have tried to understand the process of setting aside a CCJ. Most posts relate to new addresses and not receiving court orders. I was issued with a parking ticket Some time ago- not sure exactly when but in the last 2 years - from WY parking which has now resulted into a CCJ for £260, I received the letters but I have been so consumed with my cancer diagnosis and treatment that I have not paid attention. I was abroad from aug 19- November 19 having treatment. Fast forward a CCJ was issued April 6th 2020. I called Gladstone who have taken this case on and let them know of the situation.. although the lady on the phone was very empathetic she did say that now the court order has been accepted there’s no way she can undo it, she did however say to me that she has stopped any further enforcement which means bailiffs I think. I am currently on employment support allowance being sick off work and really not sure sure where to start. I don’t want this CCJ to be on my credit file for 6 years but I physically don’t have energy to go through a lengthy appeal. Is my case worthy to fight  Gladstone and complete a NJ44 set aside form? I am afraid if it gets rejected the CCJ will stay on my credit report which I’ve worked so hard to only just get right.
im sorry if it seems these questions have all been answered I am just extremely confused. 

Best wishes madi

@madi1990, did you miss or ignore the post above yours, and the entire forum where people post?

So I have read the newbies thread and can’t seem to find a template response letter required. I received a PCN in August 2018 after parking in a non-space which was not apparent at the time. I parked in Xercise4less gym car park where I am a member and parked in an area that was not a marked space, albeit the gap where I parked is the equivalent of 4 car spaces, which 3 cars were also parked in the non-spaces so I was unaware this was not a space. After receiving the initial fine I contacted the gym who said to ignore the letter they will contact the parking fine company and to ignore it. I continued to receive letters and the fine had increased from £60-£170 (inc admin fee). I lost my POPLA appeal and contacted PP Legal to explain these situation who continue to threaten to take me to court and now at ‘final notice prior to court commencement’ stage. The letter references the Beavis case, but does state “the time to challenge has expired...any appeal will not be considered unless a substantive reason for litigation not to proceed is provided.” Please help me!! Are there any last minute template letters I can send in an attempt to prevent court?? I’ve looked through the thread and seen the SAR request, but is there another letter I can use?? The only thing ive read other than SAR on here for my case is the completion of defendant stage which I want to avoid. FYI my gym have been useless and continued to tell me to ignore the letters which had got me nowhere. Any advice greatly appreciated

You can't avoid it and that is when you will win.  Court is really exhilarating!

I put a post in November about a  Private PCN and Appeal.  The company have threatened me 5 different letters incl. Solicitor and now a Debt collector.  An Enforcement letter has arrived. I have been threatened with court action,but have not received anything from a court  to put my case.. Is it possible to have a court action against you and not know about it? Also surely it is illegal to send a " Notice of Debt Recovery" and then a " Pre  Enforcement Letter"  before a court case? Your previous advice from "Redx"  was to ignore Debt collectors.It is difficult to ignore these threats , although I have faith in my case , and would only too willing to  go to court.

Hello Good evening, could you please kindly help me, I have received a letter from a car park company SIPP where i was park in Leicester way back in March. They have issued me a PCN due to not sufficient fund for the total amount of hours i have park.
The letter came in straight with a £115 charge without any appeal noticed etc... I have emailed to them explaining why i was issued a pcn - without the a chance of appealing. They refused to reply on my request in fact they have increase the fine to £125 now!
could you please kindly help me. Many thanks
