@B789 thank your for your reply.

Exactly. My letter was without prejudice and their reply was not.

Ah yes I did, I sent off to the CCBC via email those points that @Coupon-mad mentioned.

So, you have to be careful that they don't try and resurrect this claim and introduce your non-prejudicial offer "by accident". Don't put anything past these scammers.

@b789 my offer was without prejudice although as you have pointed out theirs was not.

Yeah I agree reading the other posts.

Thought I should the update as a few have been caught by these scammers at this dodgy car park.

I'd email the Claimant and ask what is the reason for the stay, and if they fail to apply to lift the stay in a timely manner in 2023, you will consider the claim ended.

You refuse to be played like this and will not be beholden to a rogue parking operator forever, expected to remember to update your address every time you move...potentially for the rest of your life.  There must be certainty and finality to a meritless parking claim.  Not held in limbo forever, ready to be dusted off at the Claimant's whim; this is wholly unreasonable conduct in litigation.

Should they later decide (years down the line) to apply to lift the stay out of the blue, they MUST NOT presume that your current service address is still good.  

They know how to contact you by email and can also do a bulk 'soft trace' for 28 pence (mandatory in the new incoming DLUHC statutory Code of Practice) and they must not just resurrect the matter later, without making efforts to ensure the correct address for service at the time.

Copy in the local court and require that your email be placed on file for a Judge to review, if ever this rogue Claimant decides to dust a few 'stayed' cases off and try to extract default CCJs by stealth, knowing most victim Defendants will move house and be caught out and will miss a late N180 DQ served to what is bound to be old addresses.  This is no way to conduct litigation.

My suggestion was NOT to email the CCBC at all.

Morning @Coupon-mad - apologies my message wasn't clear I emailed CEL and could not cc'ed in the local court as it had not yet been assigned. Sorry.
