I wasn’t here, didn’t open mail, now have debt recovery. No argument?

the DR+ letter now comes with a 2nd page of ticked yes/no things

They've been toting that around for the past couple of years, you're not the first, nor will you be the last to receive that drivel. Debt collectors are harmless and can be ignored.  They cannot take you to court .... period!

But UKCPM are litigious, and they might issue a court claim in due course, but you're not there yet. Come back if you get a Letter Before Claim from one of the low-rent solicitors (Gladstones, probably) or a court claim via the Northampton CCBC. 

Thank you for this. Over the years I’ve spent hours reading this forum, my concern is I’ve yet to see a case where there isn’t a possible defence, whether it’s unclear signage, tenancy agreements, etc etc. I just don’t feel like I have a leg to stand on.
I rent a space & garage & spend over £700/yr on it. My housing association isn’t allowing me to rent an additional space, and so I used to visitor parking (my flatmate currently uses the one I rent). 

I’m just afraid with ADHD and my state of mind right now (huge family matters & losing my job) that I’ll balls up the process if this goes to court.

We have.  Fairly commonly people have little defence except the signs are small and no grace period was allowed to fetch a permit/read a sign.  And the posters have almost always still won.

I even 'lay repped' a case in person, in a case with no permit displayed x 4 times and a Judge who declared at the start of the hearing 'I use this car park myself and I should warn you, I think the signs are clear' but the PPC evidence pack screwed it up and the PPC lost within ten minutes!

And you won't muck it up, as we have a template defence and will help you with deadline dates.  DO NOT contact DRPlus and no paying it.
