Probably best to edit your thread title to the stage you are at, because it isn't CST Law.
All cases are exactly the same. Yours is part of a huge batch that Smart Parking moved on to DCB Legal this year for the first time, just like these ones (also revived from 2022):https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6454844/was-cst-law-but-now-dcb-legal-for-smart-parking/p1

You need to read:
- Post 2 of the NEWBIES thread about defence
- any Smart Parking claim threads.
There are about ten Smart claim threads linked in a reply I made about rogue claims, on p14 of that Public Consultation thread.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
