Two NPM/Gladstones Cases - WON AT COURT

AdamBliss

I received 2 separate Claim Forms by National Parking Management in the County Court Business Centre, Northampton.

Both with issue Date: 19th April 2023.

The First Claim Form is regarding 1 PCN on 31st December 2021. 
The Amount Claimed: £190.61. Court Fee: £35. Legal Representatives Cost: £50. Total Amount: £275.61

The Second Claim Form is regarding a 4 PCNs one each on: 20th June, 30th July, 27th November and 11th December 2021. 
The Amount Claimed: £783.12. Court Fee: £70. Legal Representatives Costs: £70. Total Amount: £923.12

So in total they are claiming: £1,198.73

Some of these PCNs were through the post, and some were on my windscreen and eventually they sent it through the post too.

I was advised by a friend who in the past few years had a number of these private parking tickets to ignore them as they can not enforce them like public parking tickets. 

We moved house last month so I just found these claim form letters today as I was going back to my old house to collect the post. 

Therefore I missed the 14 days period to respond. I read through the forum and I am not sure what to do at this stage.

Questions I need advise on:

Should I still submit Acknowledgment of Service and tell them I moved house and give them my new address?

Will I get a CCJ soon now?

Is there still a chance I can submit a Defence and win?

Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

With a Claim Issue Date of 19th April, you have until 4pm on Tuesday 9th May - that's today - to file an Acknowledgment of Service. 

To file an Acknowledgment of Service, follow the guidance in the Dropbox file linked from the second post in the NEWBIES thread.

Having filed an Acknowledgment of Service in a timely manner, you have until 4pm on Monday 22nd May 2023 to file your Defence.

That's nearly two 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 again at the second post on the NEWBIES thread - immediately following where you found the Acknowledgment of Service guidance.

Don't miss the deadline for filing an Acknowledgment of Service, nor that 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'.

You must also inform the Claimant and the County Court Business Centre about your change of address. Failure to do that will lead to unnecessary difficulties later.

That's good.
Make sure you file an Acknowledgment of Service twice - once for each claim.

That's good. You can breathe again.

It is only because yesterday was a Bank Holiday that you had today to file an Acknowledgment of Service. But that's now history.

Don't forget to update your vehicle's Registration Document(V5c) with your new address to avoid any future parking charge notices (or speeding tickets, etc) going to an out of date address. Updating a V5c can be done online.

Did you tell them to specifically "ERASE" your old address and update it with the new one? The word "erase" is highlighted for a reason.
