Thank you all. Yes I understand the agreement now. I will request the SAR, send the AoS and will look into creating a defence from the mad template and adapt paragraphs 2 and 3 ahead to be scrutinised. Thank you! 

When you say "send the AoS" do you mean submit it on-line using MCOL and the log-in and password information that was on the N1 claim form?
I am sure @Coupon-mad will be pleased with your description of her template!

That is what I meant but thank you for the clarification. At risk of making the ‘mad template’ becoming a thing... I revert back to the original description of ‘coupon-mad template’. Thank you kind people.

The driver of the vehicle definitely agreed to the parking rules by parking there , no question about it , an implied contract to park , or its trespass , one or the other , so no point in saying they didn't agree , not when the vehicle was parked on the site by the driver on that day ( it wasn't parachuted in !! )

Either a valid permit was displayed , or it wasn't !! Only those 2 possibilities exist , so decide which it is

If the issue date was the 9th Feb , you have 19 days from then to do the AOS , no need to wait until the end of the month however , so do it online today or this weekend

Email a SAR to First Parking asap , with a copy of the claim form

Then start drafting your Defence using the coupon mad template , adapting paragraphs 2 and 3 and post them paragraphs only , below , for critique

Hi all,
Regarding the SAR, the only email address First Parking offer for data is sales@firstparking.co.uk so I plan on emailing the SAR there. To make DCB Legal aware of this SAR, I cannot find a relevant email address. Instead they have an online form. One for ‘defendant response’ and another for ‘new enquiry’. Which would you suggest I use?

Thanks in advance, 

Coupon-mad

Neither. 

Just email DCBLegal using any of the email addresses posted on their forum hundreds if not thousands of times.  There is Danielle, Paul, Shaunagh, all sorts of employee email addies for that robo-claim firm.

Understood thank you @Coupon-mad

Our friends at DCBLegal have promtly already responded:

” As a claim has been issued, the matter will not be placed on hold”

then goes on to suggest I make payment in full. I’ll start looking at my defence and report back to you beautiful people according. 

Redx

They are correct , a live court claim isn't halted by any email , that was for the LBC stage

Yes start on your defence

Yep, the "please put on hold" bit can only apply to the PRE court stage. That is why it is written there.

Chicken and egg situation here. Does anybody know how long it typically takes to receive a SAR back from First Parking? I understand nobody knows how long a piece of string is but I need this back before I can really draft my defence.

Your SAR and GDPR gives them 30 days , did you not read it ?

Your defence is not dependent on receiving their reply , just get on with your defence , your SAR reply is of more use at the WS stage in several months time
