    Wondering how we can make it clearer than those first 12 steps spelt out in the first post of the thread everyone goes to for their Template Defence?

    Trouble is, the NEWBIES thread already has enough info in it, and the Template Defence thread seems like the obvious place for the first steps.
    A lovely flowchart? :D

    Hate to say it but the court process COULD be shown as a flowchart.  Not my forte though.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I have received these in the post today! What is it all about please and what do I need to do? 
    What you need to do is go back to that checklist you abandoned after you filed your Defence.

    Item 7 on that checklist explains exactly how to deal with that letter.

    Items 8, 9, 10 and 11 on that list are well worth another read too.
    To be fair, I thought I had done everything I needed to do until I heard back from them. I didn't realise there was a "checklist I abandoned" , I thought I was working through the process?
    Apologies, it's been a long day and to get in to see these letters has scared me. Like I've already mentioned this is really affecting my mental health, I'm not asking you to hold my hand, but please understand I'm not meaning to be annoying or frustrating, I'm just scared to to the wrong thing. 
    The PPC and its legal peeps are working well then if you are scared.  You don't need to be; just follow the guidance written by @Coupon-mad in the Template Defence thread and reiterated by @KeithP above.
  • OK so have been back through the Newbies sticky thread and found the info on the N180 form. Filling it in following the advice in the thread. Little confused on the new questions though so hope you don't mind me clarifying. This is what I write in the new D1 where it says about not being heard on papers yes? 

    I am not content for the case to be heard 'on the papers' because that seems to disproportionately give an advantage to a legally represented party.  I feel strongly after all these years of intimidating demands from this aggressive parking firm and their agents, that I need a voice at an attended hearing.  

    Also for E5, Im not sure if I tick yes or no here. I am registered disabled hence having the blue badge and being in this mess in the first place. I have limited mobility and suffer from chronic pain. Does this mean I should tick yes? If I do I'm not sure what else to write on the subject.

    Oh almost forgot, one last thing, my nearest court is Cardiff but I read something about a trial where they were holding these things all on paper, am I right? Has that changed since June? I wouldn't really want to go further afield to Newport so am I stuck in a no win? 
  • Anyone able to tell me aswell please how long I have to fill in the N180 and if I need to make adjustments due to postal strikes? Thanks

    You are asking some very very basic questions that you cant expect people to nurse maid you through
    the answers are on the newbies thread and on the letter itself
    You can actually answer your own questions

    The letter from the CCBC with the N180 tells you when it must be returned by - you must read very carefully everthing sent to you by the Court.

    You have already posted a picture of it above, the date is very clear to see.

    Emails are not affected by the postal strike so why would you need to make adjustments?

    BBC WatchDog “if you are struggling with an unfair parking charge do get in touch”


    Please email your PCN story to watchdog@bbc.co.uk they want to hear about it.
    Please then tell us here that you have done so.

    Well because they sent it on paper so I assumed I needed to send it back on paper via the post. 
    I didn't know if they would make any exceptions due to postal strikes but of course if I can send it via email that won't be an issue, I just didn't realise.

    Ever thought that something that's basic to you, given that you are well versed in this process, is not basic to someone who has never seen it before or been in this position? I've read all the threads, just a yes or no would have sufficed. You don't need to make people feel like crap for asking a question. There's a whole thread about being nice, maybe you could read that!

    No need to assume anything.
