PCM - Gladstone - CCJ - Need Help??

toffeelad123

Hiya - First time poster -  have referred to this site many times when faced with a parking ticket in the past; so always found the info useful to read - Have always taken the approach to ignore, ignore, ignore from PPC.

So; here goes:

The other half drove our car (I'm registered keeper) to her mums who lives in a block managed by PCM.  We have a carers permit code (on email) printed on A4 plain paper. Permit is valid for dates in question.  Other half says she put the permit on dashboard but it must slipped down the side when door was shut. Ticket issued.

Up until now, have ignored all letters and notices; from PCM, Gladstones - in the meantime have also moved house. PCM & Gladstone have new address. - Car is on lease.

Got CCJ in my name as registered keeper May 2022; Have AOS within 2 days with MCO (online); Sent email SAR to PCM and email to Gladstone re: getting debt advice.

Now to prepare defence?
Does anything else needs doing? & by when?

Should i take pics of site?

Any advice & suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Are you sure you have a CCJ or might you have a N1 claim form from Northampton CCBC?  You are too late to use the "seeking debt advice" to delay the situation by 30 days as I suspect you either have a live claim in play or already have a CCJ (your words). If it is a claim form, working on your defence based on the template provided is your next job.  If it is a claim form, what is the date of issue and what date did you complete the AoS?

Thank you - I'm sorry; new to this as you can see - ; yes; I have a claim form from Northampton CCBC.

11/05/22 date of issue and AoS 13/05/22

OK, you have lost a couple of days by completing the AoS so soon but still have plenty of time to construct your defence.  One of our regulars @KeithP will be along to give you the exact deadline for your defence and some links to the NEWBIE and defence template.

Ok - that's great - thank you -

Yes; just want to make sure I do the right things within time..

With a Claim Issue Date of 11th May, and having filed an Acknowledgment of Service on 13th May, you have until 4pm on Friday 10th June 2022 to file your Defence.

That's almost four weeks 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.

Do not try and file a Defence via the MoneyClaimOnline website. Once an Acknowledgment of Service has been filed, the MCOL website should be treated as 'read only'.

Assuming I Can i post the defence on here for it to be reviewed?

go-on-then

Just let us see the paragraphs you've constructed yourself (paras 2 & 3). We don't need to see all the unaltered template paras - don't edit any of those, unless you have a good reason, in which case, provide us with the alterations  .... and reasons. 

toffeelad123

ok - will do - thanks

quick questions - in the response above from KeithP - it mentions

"To create a Defence, and then file a Defence by email, look at the second post in the NEWBIES thread".

The second post contains a draft dated 20th Feb? - it does say edited on 9th March at 2.57am.

Just wanted to check if this is the most up to date version? - As the thread has 17 pages.
