Hi everyone. So on the 8th July 2020 I received my Court Claim Form for a PCN from Bank Park Management. From looking at the forum it seems I am not the only one!!!
The amount claimed is for £183.38 (plus court and legal fees) so a not insignificant amount. I have been in two minds whether to just pay it but I have come this far (two year old PCN) and it would be too easy to give into these scammers.

I will go ahead and do a bit more research into the next steps like the AoS and piece together a defence to share in this thread.

    No, you are not the only one.

    Am I right in thinking that the Issue Date on your County Court Claim Form is 8th July, rather than that being the date you received it?

    Great.  We win 99% of defended case and there's no risk of a CCJ by following our advice to the letter, so no need to be in two minds about paying an exaggerated court claim that they can't get at a hearing, even if a person lost.

    No need to piece together a defence - it can be done in 20 minutes using the template defence, top of the forum.

    What's the issue date of the N1 claim?

    Is this a continuation of the saga you started last November in this thread:

    Letter of Claim - Called my Bluff


    If so, then please copy your above post on to that thread and edit your post above to read:

    I agree, carry on with your old thread please.  So much better for us all, and you.

    Hi @KeithP , yes the Issue date is the 8th July 2020. Seems they have gone on a claiming spree.
    Hi @Coupon-mad, by piecing together a defence I meant using the template! Cant imagine it deviating much from the template but will give it the once over.
    I assume even though I have a paper copy of the AoS in my bundle I do it all online and I don't have to post anything? If that is in the Newbie thread then apologies.

    OK.
    Once I see that info on your earlier thread I'll address you question there.
