The AOS step-by-step dropbox picture link is already in the NEWBIES thread second post to make it easy for everyone.

Same advice as in Peahead's thread. Honestly it is a CINCH to defend.

And I am so sorry for your loss. Best wishes.

Hi everyone,

I need some further guidance on what to expect after acknowledging service for my parking charge claim:

Claim issued: 16th April

Acknowledged service via MCOL: 23rd April

Now that I've completed the AOS, I'm unsure about:

What happens next in the process?

What documents I should prepare for my defense?

Important deadlines I need to mark in my diary

I'm particularly concerned about:

The unclear signage at the location

Never receiving the original PCN

The 6-year delay in them pursuing this

Any advice on building my defense or navigating the next steps would be incredibly helpful. Should I be preparing anything specific while waiting for the next stage?

Thanks in advance for your support.

You are already at the next stage, it's a 2 task process and you have only just done task 1 of 2

You must now prepare your defence,  which will be emailed to the CNBC in Northampton before the 33 day deadline 

Study and adapt the defence template listed in the defence template thread in announcements 

When complete,  you will email it before the 4pm deadline date of 19th of May, your task 2

Its a text document,  no attachments, no documents , no pictures,  no additions,  just a textual pdf defence document

As above, you aren't waiting for anything.

You must file your defence. We recommend using our template and emailing it

Just read the first 12 steps in the Template Defence thread at the top of the forum.

File format,  should be a pdf document,  not word, simply change the saved document in word from a document document to a published pdf document,  or use a simple conversion app or tool or free online service website 

Personally I would just tell WORD to save as a published pdf document,  then attach it , simple 

You can simply print your name,  but I would also attach a digital signature by signing a white piece of paper in black ink and adding it to the bottom of the document before saving it 

Send before if you prefer,  no point delaying it,  once approved 

I see that you dont appear to be using the template defence,  so I would bin what you wrote and start with the template by coupon mad,  or study any recent G24 DCB Legal case within the last 4 weeks,  adapting their paragraphs 2 & 3 to suit 

Lastly,  the statement of truth was changed around 4 or more years ago,  so is completely out of date and cannot be used

As above.

Not sure this is correct if you intend to state it in the correct Defence doc:-

" The alleged contraventions occurred on 22/05/2019, 24/05/2019, and 25/05/2019, and the claim was issued more than 6 years later (in 2025), rendering it"

Also a heads-up  -  your PoC state "contravention" not "issued"  -  see loads of other recent threads regarding this.

Bin that defence and use the Template Defence. I don't understand why you didn't?

It is a sticky thread in its own right at the top of the forum and it's linked in the second post of the NEWBIES thread.

Hi All,

Thank you so much for your feedback. Sorry for the confusion, but could someone please share the URL for these mentioned templates?

I seem to have confused myself with some different posts.

Thanks again.
