CCJ from Gladstones!

So a few years I posted on this forum regarding a parking ticket I got form UK car park management Ltd for parking outside my friends flat, this was way back in 2016/2017 time. Most the replies I had on there adviced me not to contact them and just to ignore them, well I did and now I have a CCJ against my name, that bit I don't care about but the letter from Gladstones said the they've been advised my their client to pursue a warrant to take control of possessions, I.e bailiffs knocking the door down etc.. What do I do guys? Surely I can't keep ignoring it? why did I ever listen to all those clever clog smart alecs! I thought they could only force entry for council tax and unpaid government/court fines, not for parking?! And also can they force their way in the first time? Or do they have to come in first before they can force entry?

    too late for us to help , you have gone past the point of no return by ignoring the courts in 2018

    if it goes above £600 they can get a high court writ, then the bailiffs (sheriffs as seen on tv) could be involved

    You need to re-read your previous thread. You just left it 'hanging'.  There was no advice to ignore a CCJ - and you said you had 5 of those. 

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Really? That is just not true is it, from reading your posts you took no notice of the real advice given, and from what you posted it was you that had no qualms about all the CCJ's you were logging up and ignoring.
    But now this one has bitten you on the backside and you want to blame someone else for your inaction.
