Although I have no idea why you left it until after 5pm on the day you thought your Defence is due before starting this thread.With a Claim Issue Date of 6th April, and having filed an Acknowledgment of Service in a timely manner, you have until 4pm on Monday 10th May 2021 to file your Defence.That's a week 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.3 -
Use the dates KeithP just gave you , no assumptions , so 10th may , another week !!12b3 said:@Redx

At this stage there will be just your emailed defence , no Exhibits , no evidence , no witness statement. , Not needed for several months !!
So defence only , a keeper but not the driver Defence will suffice , so post your 2 adapted paragraphs below , for critique2 -
Thank you very much @KeithP and @Redx , that's a releif to know I have some more time. Why I left it till now it's just me being the ostrich with the head in the sand

Also I just waded through my old documents and managed to find the first letter they sent me , I just had a pic of it on my phone before I started this thread.
Read in some other thread that somtiems the POFA wording is on the 2nd page ,and suerly this letter is a 2 sided printed page with the POFA wording on the 2nd page.
@Redx can I still use the template a keeper but not the driver Defence?0 -

@Redx can I still use the template a keeper but not the driver Defence?correct, if its true , keeper not driver is a typical defence when trueas for the first PCN NTK letter, check it for compliance (or failure) against POFA (the law) , not just wording but timescales too2 -
Thank you guys as a starting point can I upload image of the NTK in this thread ( with personally identifiable information redacted ) just want to get an opinion if this letter is compilant with POFA as suggested above.
I did a read up on this from this site's ANRP section and it appears to me my letter doesn't identify the "Creditor". Am I right in thinking this is the landowner?
Further plan of action and guidance required :- Request a SAR from CEL -for this is I am using the template here and emailing the DOA of CEL. (Do I need to pay for this service and also do I need to post this by registred royal mail as well the email? )
- Find out who is the landlord for that car park (Where do I get this information? I )
- Write a letter of complaint and request to set aside the fine ( Any template links for this will be appreciated)
- Draft a defense and share it here for critique. I am using the template here and adding relvant info in the sections.

Yes , attach a redacted copy of the NTK PCN , or add a link to Imgur or a similar web hosting site
1 you are emailing the DPO at CEL , it's been free for 3 years !! , Email not post
2 land registry or council
3 the Newbies FAQ sticky thread near the top of the forum , plus the others , all are in Announcements , top 5 threads of this forum
4 adapt just paragraphs 2 and 3 and post just those you have changed below1 -
See attached redacted copy of letter I received , coudn't find the landloard but while searching for it found a lot of incidinets realted to this place , I have never been to this place but apprently this very car park is quite famous or infamous .
This place was the reason why the petintoin to ban clampling was initialed , local MP Micahel GOve was involved in raising awarness of the unfair practices here
https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/frimley-motorists-still-being-hit-8450443
here's a video of a local councillor warning about this place ( apprenetly first 20 mins is free)

SOME IDEAS ON DETERMINING WHO OWNS THE LAND
1. Google searches
2. If a retail park, check on any signage which lists the on-site outlets
3. Ask retailers on the site if there is a managing agent
4. Ask retailers on the site to whom do they pay rent
5. Contact the local authority and ask who pays the non-domestic/business rate for the car park (some councils have a spreadsheet on their website)
6. Contact the local Valuation Office and ask if they know. They often have a website which might provide the information
7. Contact The Land Registry and for around £3 they should be able to provide definitive detail
8. Give us the name of the car park, we may have seen other cases there.
