    A crap app?  Does it matter - don't go there, it is a scam site.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Absolutely, otherwise you'll be back here with a £100 penalty, facing either 6 years of harassment or a court case, if you're lucky!

    Please find a council car park nearby. Greater certainty, fines (if incurred) more straightforward to challenge.

    We don't keep a record of apps by car park. Why not do a forum search on keywords 'Wells parking' and 'Wells app' and see if other posters have referenced it - we have a good number of different cases about that car park.

    Some of the Wells-Next-Sea threads mention an app. 
    Why not PM the poster and ask them which one?

    yes, i have done a general web search and a forum search, can't find the specific info hence the question here.  Hopefully someone can come along that does know.  
    Pity you didn't tell us the full story from the outset. Where exactly are you with this, what have you done so far, what exactly are you looking for from the forum?

    Of course you could always phone the Harbour Board on Monday and ask them - saying something like you are planning to visit next week and don't want to waste time on the day downloading the app and risking a PCN while doing so.

    And surely Civil Enforcement will be able to answer that question too - but they might wonder how you know that CEL are involved.  ;)

    Just because an app was used to pay for parking , it does not prove the car park operator was actually paid , or even received the correct information

    There is a wells thread lower down this page one

    What is the Issue Date of your County Court Claim Form?

    On what date did you file an Acknowledgment of Service? 
    Your MCOL Claim History will have the definitive answer to that.

    @Umkomaas Apologies, i was trying to keep it simple. At the moment the acknowledgement has been filed and intending to use the templated defence letter.  The situation is that parking was paid for on the day in question as far as we can recall correctly.  How can i be certain?... I can't, but we visit Wells many times a year, i have annual passes for the Holkham estate owned car parks and i'm aware of the trouble people have with this particular car park.
    Hopefully i haven't annoyed anyone.  I may well be back for help once i'm in the depths of the defence and then WS!
    It's just that selectively drip-feeding bits of info determined only by you, causes additional work in trying to extract the full story so that the small number of regulars who advise here can get into top gear rather than into just first or second, sometimes having to engage reverse, so we can get the full story to enable us to advise you optimally.   That's about it.

    With a Claim Issue Date of 1st October, and having filed an Acknowledgment of Service in a timely manner, you have until 4pm on Tuesday 3rd November 2020 to file your Defence.
    That's over two weeks away. Plenty of time to produce a Defence, but please don't leave it to the last minute.
    To create a Defence, and then file a Defence by email, look at the second post in the NEWBIES thread.
    Don't miss the deadline for filing a Defence.
