Claim Form from Civil Enforcement Limited


I've received one of these, dated a few days ago. This relates to an alleged over stay at a fast food outlet car park. No ticket was issued. Car park has ANPR cameras.
I'll be defending this claim! I've read the newbies FAQ.
Any guidance, in the meantime, is very welcome.
Thanks

It is admitted that the Defendant was the registered keeper of the vehicle in question but liability is denied.
3.
The first I heard of this parking charge was when a Parking Charge Notice was received some 11 weeks after the alleged offence. What followed was a barrage of debt recovery letters which made me feel harassed.
I cannot be held liable due to the Claimant not complying with the ‘keeper liability’ requirements set out in the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, Schedule 4.
