But that GSV is dated 2019 - presumably before renovation mentioned on TripAdvisor and the new P&D parking system.  I found this on their TripAdvisor reviews and it suggests the car parking system may not have existed in 2019 when the GSV van went past:

 The cafe is fine, but they have introduced a new pay and display carpark, and offer a discount on the parking, but only if you take your ticket in (and therefore dont pay and display). Prices have also gone up since the renovation

Your defence points #2 and #3 will tell the Judge the facts so that's what we want to review.

YOU DO NOT PUT EVIDENCE IN YET.  Please read the NEWBIES thread to understand the stages. 

Take your time, read the thread.

Would I take them to court with me then? Just trying to get my head around why another poster said it was worth going to take some

You really do need to read more of the NEWBIES thread.
In particular, look for the word evidence and witness statement.

Please could you just read the thread we need everyone to read first.

These most basic of questions about the process, just isn't fair on the regulars and it's why we have the NEWBIES thread.  To keep us sane.

If you received court paperwork from northampton that's where all county court online claims start.
You must respond or it will automatically go against you.
They are claiming you owe a debt.
You must respond with the following letter to the court DO NOT CHANGE ANY DETAILS EVEN UPPER AND LOWER CASE.

I'm not so sure about the above 👆. We've dealt with hundreds of court cases here, but never seen this stuff before. 

@Cotswoldtony - can you confirm your credentials, background and expertise to advise on defending cases in the small claims court please?

Cotswoldtony

You are not defending the case you are moving their case from their court to yours, then they need to verify the debt is true either under oath/affirmation or an affidavit sworn on a bible. If it's a company they will never step into a court and no solicitor will ever verify the debt.

@Cotswoldtony, do you know Mr Semark-Julien?

This is Freeman of the Land dross, or what Mr Semark-Jullien would call the BoEVAT remedy (only, it isn't a remedy):

nobody will ever verify it with a wet signature

How did Mr Semark-Jullien get on in his most recent case v Britannia Parking?  I will tell you: he lost his case and he paid the full amount because his 'defence' wasn't one.  He wanted a 'wet signature'  on an invoice - that's all he would say.  Absolutely clueless.

He also caused an issue to other people, by not having any answer at appeal stage and Judges are misreading his case as if it means something it doesn't mean.

We can't have this sort of rubbish fake 'advice' on this forum because some people might think crackpot ideas will work.
