    I'll have to leave it to the experts to advise you what to do next but can I ask you to consider supporting this.

    Like you so many people don't receive 1st and/or 2nd pcn but the £170 payment due letter often manages to drop through letter boxes. PPCs always claim discounted/full rate pcns, court claim/discontinuation letters were sent as dated though they offer no evidence to prove this.

    Since they CHOOSE NOT to provide evidence of their posting we must continue to press gov to ensure they do and see it included in the new Parking CoP. Please sign/share @jmccabe petition closes 22nd june 2024.

    Require communications from Private Parking companies to be traceable/trackable
    Thank you and good luck.

    What is the Issue Date on your Claim Form?

    21 Mar 2024

    With a Claim Issue Date of 21st March, you have until Tuesday 9th April to file an Acknowledgment of Service but there is nothing to be gained by delaying it. 
    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 Tuesday 23rd April 2024 to file your Defence.
    That's over four 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 do the above.

    The History normally says the date the acknowledgement was filed and received.  

    But on the right it does mention it.  Did you submit it?

    Please do the defence.  That doesn't involve MCOL.  You need to read the Template Defence thread.

    ok theres so much info to read and take in - its very confusing to me.

    My defence is i never received an original PCN and tried to calll and no one answered for 5 hours. As well as looking after my now deceased son - they have cause me a lot of stress.

    Do i just use this template:

    then email:

    ClaimResponses.CNBC@justice.gov.uk

    I just wanna get this over with - if you can just DIRECT me on what to do that would be great.

    Thank you.
