Parking Charge Notice and CCJ

fr33zy

I recevied two parking charge notices dated June 2019 from a private car park (not PCN's from the council)

I was of the understanding that these were not enforcable, so I ignored them.  They usually just stop bothering you after sending a few letters from experience.

This one is different, they have pursued this through solicitors, who obtained a CCJ against me on behalf of their client in May 2022. 

I have been out of the UK for several months and on my recent return, having checked my Experian credit report, a CCJ is on my file related to this case.

What are my options?

I have read a little bit about appealing this through the courts, having it "set aside" but its been so long since the fines were originally issued, I do not know the basis of which I can appeal or if its worth doing so.

Pay them sounds like your only option.

They are enforceable as a debt.

Why did you ignore every letter? Especially the ones threatening legal action

I agree that you'll get better responses on the parking board, here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/parking-tickets-fines-parking. Make sure to read all the stickies!

Did you receive any of the formal court documents while you were away? Not sure how likely you are to get it set aside, but it never hurts to ask what it would take for them to agree to do so.
