    That's non-POFA, so you might only wish to admit to being the keeper at this point, in your paragraph 2.

    Then you can add some facts in para 3.1 after the usual para 3 by shahib_02 which is already linked for everyone in the Template Defence.

    We only want to see your para 3.1 please. You can copy para 3 yourself and change the date there, to make sense. We don't need to check that simple bit, nor the Template Defence. DON'T show us the whole bog standard template defence...thanks!

    Hi,

    Thanks, so basically para 2 I leave it with the end of being only the keeper, due to non-POFA letter and that's it I won't add that I am the driver.

    So para 3 it's just the paragraph from the thread with the date changed and 3.1 would be the below? The rest of the defence I only need to leave it as is or is there anything else I need to adapt to my situation?

    ---------------------------------------------------------------//----------------------------------------------//----------------------------
    3.1 Particulars of Claim 1. The Defendant (D) is indebted to the Claimant (C) for a Parking Charge issued to vehicle XXXXXXX(my plate number) at (346) Southgate Car Park.
    2. The PCN(s) were issued on 28/11/2023
    3. The defendant is pursued as the driver of the vehicle for breach of the terms on the signs (the contract). Reason:Authorised vehicles only
    4. In the alternative the defendant is pursued as the keeper pursuant to POFA 2012, Schedule  4.
    AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS
    1. £170 being the total of the PCN(s) and damages.
    2. Interest at a rate of 8% per annum pursuant to s.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 from the date hereof at a daily rate of £.02 until judgment or sooner payment.
    3. Costs and court fees
    ---------------------------------------------------------------//--------------------------
    3.1 is obviously not the Claim Particulars!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    That's correct but obviously you've added your claim number and correct Claimant - and as for a date, you can see from the Template that the date goes under your signature at the very end.

    YOU CANNOT PUT A DEFENCE IN THE BODY OF AN EMAIL.

    It's a PDF and of course you don't need to print it. Nobody does. Just put an electronic signature on it.
    Wonderful, thank you so much for your reply.
