That's an old email address. Email it to the CNBC fees email address then phone up the CNBC and pay the fee.

ccbcfees@hmcts.gsi.gov.uk to confirm?

"Hmcts.gsi" is an old email address.

They made it difficult to find the address. Is ccbcfees@justice.gov.uk the correct one?

That looks right. Your phone call to pay will confirm if they have it.

I just sent the forms away to that address. Got an auto reply with this stating:

Please note that the court cannot accept applications via email if any relevant fee has not already been paid. Court fees can be paid by credit / debit card by contacting our Helpdesk between 9.00 and 3.15, Monday – Friday. Once you have paid your fee, you may re-submit your application via email to this address if you wish to do so. 
Amended claim forms (N1SDT) cannot be accepted via email. Please send with your N244 application by post.

Passed the deadline to pay the fees so I have to wait until Monday (bummer).

However it says my forms will not be accepted by the court until I pay...and when I pay, I have to resend the forms again. Do I have to resend the forms again once I paid?

And do I HAVE to send the N244 by post?

Coupon-mad

Just ring & ask on Monday. No-one posts it.

Paid the court fee. They have a backlog dated back to 9th October, while my form was sent 27th.

So probably no update until December.

Got a letter saying that the claim has been transferred to the County Court near me to deal with my application to set my CCJ aside.

Also says the court will send me and the other parties notice of the time, date and place of hearing.

Don't know if this is good news or bad.

Just the process moving forward.

Good!

...but please please please also find time to do this new Call for Evidence this month:

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/80375249/#Comment_80375249

The Committee invites evidence on:

• What the current level of delay in the County Court is

• The ways in which the County Court engages with litigants in person, and how this could be improved

• The causes of action giving rise to claims in the County Court

• What future reforms to the County Court should be considered.

Please tell them that private parking firms and their bulk litigators are the problem as far as small claims delays are concerned, as they dominate court lists, such that some Judges spend all day on an entire list of parking claims.

Parking claim numbers are rising every year and will make up about a third of all small claims in 2023, based on the 2022 figures that the MoJ divulged in the DLUHC's recent Parking Code of Practice Call for Evidence:
https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/private-parking-code-of-practice-call-for-evidence#:~:text=The%20call%20for%20evidence%20is,help%20the%20decision%2Dmaking%20process.

About half a million parking claims are now made (2023 likely figure) and all this MUST STOP.

The MoJ must separate parking cases with a new pre-action protocol requiring use of ADR instead of inflated debt demands and bulk litigators who want court.  It should be a last resort but it's the first aim of bulk litigators, and they don't even check addresses properly and appear to deliberately seek CCJs like bombs going off in hundreds of thousands of households every year, when people discover their secret CCJ sneaked in at an old address.

Please show your own evidence, and attach CEL v Chan and say parking claim bulk litigators should be banned from the county court system as vexatious litigants.

These MPs are inviting evidence not rants or opinion so we need people like you to respond, who are currently caught up in a CCJ nightmare and can attach their evidence and ask:

- why can a bulk litigator file a hundred thousand parking claims per annum with zero address checks, at the very minor cost of just £35, and add that plus two lots of costs (£50 fixed legal fee plus the £70 double recovery fake 'fee' that the DLUHC called 'extorting money from motorists') yet the Defendant has to cough up £275 to set this farce aside?

You want to change things? This Committee is your voice.  As you know, the Government is already regulating the private parking industry, so they are listening and are aware of the scourge of unfair PCNs from rogues and bulk litigators.

Interested parties have until 14 December to make a submission to the committee.

Your evidence will make all the difference.
