UKPC-DCB Legal, County Court Claim-PCN not paid

mde_2

Morning All

As the title suggests . I had one of these sent through the post issued on the 17 FEB 2023. Its in relation to a PCN parked on private land mentioning I am liable as the driver or keeper etc . PCN outstanding and associated costs. 

I have been reading the forum and posts but thought i best double check my actions and future actions given all the information out there.
At the moment i have completed my AOS on line dated 24/2/2023. Also submitted a data protection request to UKPC.

Does that give me into 24 March to submit my defence now? Can i check the defence documents that need to be completed? Plus when completed it will need to be posted not on line? 
Any other key useful info at this stage of things will also be great.

Cheers

One of our regulars, @KeithP will be along to confirm your defence deadline date.  You do not post your defence, you use our template defence and, as you will find in that thread, the advice is to send by e-mail to the address shown.  What you do NOT do is to attempt to submit it using MCOL.

You have a couple of days less than that.

With a Claim Issue Date of 17th February, and having filed an Acknowledgment of Service in a timely manner, you have until 4pm on Wednesday 22nd March 2023 to file your Defence.

That's over three 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'.

Can you be a bit more specific? Which PPC? Which car park? Which solicitors? When was the PCN issued? Is the PCN POFA compliant? Has the driver been identified?

You will realise that all these questions are to find out what sort of case you have to defend. Hopefully, you have read and digested the contents of the Newbies thread which gives you all the advice and what steps to take and what happens next.

Thread title says UKPC/DCBLegal so the OP can adapt the one by @Johny86 which is worth pointing the never-ending queue of UKPC/DCBLegal defendants to, saving us a lot of typing!

Cheers for the info. Started to type out my defence using the advice/templates. My PCN was issued back in 2019 and simply provides a time issued only. If it helps with any specific advice for me around defence. The Private car park in question states "Service users only". There is no requirement for a pay and display ticket, permit or is it controlled by ANPR. Just seems an opinion on issuing a ticket the vehicle was not parked using the business venue. Also on viewing the photos sent from UKPC there is no PCN ticket shown stuck on the vehicle if that matters or not?. cheers

Put all that in as para 3 into the defence by @Johny86 and once you are happy with it, you are done.

Just use the template as advised by @Coupon-mad above. You can see the anticipated outcome if you follow the advice and read this thread:
