Panic over county court business centre

I have today received a claim form for a parking 'fine' or 'invoice' from 2019.

At the time I came onto this forum and was advised to ignore it as it was an invoice and it was UKPC.

I am now panicking as it says about if I do not pay it I will not be able to get any credit etc.  

I was parking in a visitor's space at my daughter's block of flats and was displaying what I believed to be a parking permit,  My daughter had been issued with the permit not long before. It had a date on it which was the issue date we believed but from what I remember.  UKPC said it was not valid and I think they said it was the end date?  It was issued at 3:00 am and I parked there overnight.  

I have read through many of these posts, but I do not understand any of what is being said as a lot of it is legal.

At the time I took a photo of the car and parking permit and they sent me a photo, but that was long ago and I no longer have them.

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

    Oddly, I didn't see any mention of the word 'ignore' anywhere in your previous thread. Where did you read that?
    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.

    Thank you for your replies. That wasn’t the thread I was talking about. That was a parking ticket issued when I visited a Costa coffee shop, which I went to weekly and didn’t know that UKPC had taken over that week. 

    This is a ticket issued when parking in another part of the country. I was parking in a visitors parking space with a visitors permit. UKPC said the permit was not valid.

    You have only started two threads and made one reply on each. I too cannot see where you were told to ignore stuff.

    Anyway, you say that older stuff isn't relevant.


    Any answer to my earlier question?...

    The matter of this parking notice was done by my daughter as we were at her flat and I was in a bit of a state she had her laptop and I only had my phone which is more difficult for me to type on.

    Ok.  We can only give bespoke help when we know the claim 'issue date' though.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Have you had a hearing yet, or are you at Witness Statement exchange stage?

    I made another thread that is at the top of this page.  This was recent as I could not find my previous one and I thought because I was asking another question, another thread would be best.  I now realise that should not have been done.

    I would appreciate all the help available.  There is so much jargon on their witness statement.

    Also I am not sure if I can refer to their witness statement in my witness statement?
