Parkingeye CCJ, Please help! Ive never even owned the car.

Hi All, i'm hoping for some advice. I've just received a letter from a Debt Collection Agency informing me of a CCJ i have received due to a parking fine which is the first i'm hearing about this. The car the Parking Fine is from i have never owned, or driven. I rang the Debt Collection Agency but they advised they don't know who the court is who issue this and will only put the collection on hold for 14 days. The CCJ amounts to £267.00. I found an N244 form online but i cant  fill it in as i don't even know the issuing court. What There was not even a claim number on the Debt Collection Letter but i did manage to get this from them on the phone. I attempted to contact Parkingeye Ltd but i cant find an email address and the telephone number on their website is just an automated handler asking me for a 13 digit reference number i don't have. I tried waiting for it to cycle until it realises i'm not entering in any ref number and hoped it would transfer me to an actual person but alas it just hangs up on me so i'm at a dead end now on what to do. I Feel i have no other choice but to pay the fine which isn't mine but this means i still have a CCJ on my credit history for something unrelated to me. I'm very concerned as the address is actually my parents and my mother has very advanced Dementia and my father suffers short term memory loss so I don't want a Bailiff turning up at their property as it will be very distressing for them. Please help, as i'm well out of my depth with this and worried sick.

If you have the CCJ reference or claim number, ring CCBC in Northampton (be prepared to wait for a while) and ask them for the details.  See here: -

for contact details including phone number.

@Umkomaas thank you also, really appreciate your help with this. ill email them as well now.

Whatever you do, DO NOT pay the CCJ. If it's already registered and appearing on your credit file then paying it will only mark it as satisfied - it won't remove it, so you'd be paying £267 for no benefit.

I'd do a credit rating check too so you can see what affect it is having. Plenty on MSE

Is there another address at which you can be contacted; if so, send an email to both the Data Collection Agency and Parking Eye and give them your new address. .

You will be looking to set aside this and you would be asking Parking Eye to submit the application for you, paying all costs of doing so, and you want this to be done ASAP - thats wehat you will be emailing them. 
State this is a vehicle you have no connection to, neitehr as owner, driver, nor keeper, and so you cannot possibly have any liability in the matter. 

Whats key is whether you have ANY info on that vehicle at all - could it be one you borrowed for a day? Or do you know the owner? 
You want as much detail from the CCBC as you can. Particulars of claim. Address the claim form was sent to, etc. 
You want this to build up as complete picture as possible. 
Be nice to them but be persistent!

They may well have accessed your data details from the dvla without due cause.  In which case you may well be in a position to get compensation.
