Claim Form received

Hi, 

I have gone through all the boards I was asked to read before posting a question, but I am so confused after reading it all and not sure what to do, I parked in covid in a car park of sports direct, thought it was safe to do so, received 2 fines, contacted g24 and explained I thought it was ok as everything was closed, no response, I thought I was ok, nearly five years later I get letters of dcb legal, was told to ignore as a bunch of cowboys, I have now had letter of claim, and now a claim form, but it just doesn't look right, I went on to the gov website and put the claim number in but it doesn't exist with them but on the letter it says go to www.moneyclaim.gov.uk is this a proper website for the government????, my fine was 340, but they have now made it 485.72 plus £50 court fee plus £50 legal representative costs, this form just doesn't seem right and I don't know what to do, surely I would be paying the government if they have put this through the courts.... thanks for reading, I hope someone can help me

    Its a civil court claim,  so post a redacted picture of the N1SDT claim form after hiding the VRM details,  the claim reference,  the password and also your name and address,  before taking the picture, leave the rest of the form showing 

    MCOL is an official government gateway website,  not fraudulent,  but you access it through your government gateway account,  make one if you haven't got one, then login to MCOL 

    No fines were issued,  just private parking charge notices from G24, for the alleged breach of the parking contract on that private property.  Lots of these old claims at the moment,  before the 6 years deadline

    Add a short sentence,  then add the correctly redacted picture  ( you need to add text as well  )

    You should have 5 redactions,  including 2 for your name and address

    Copy the other G24 defence that remarked on the phrase 'Unauthorised Parking At' 
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
    CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

    This has discontinuation written all over it.

    They've just copied and pasted from an Excel cell without even looking. Probably clicked and dragged with even doing Select All.

    Don't know, don't care. 100 more to copy and paste off their Excel file before lunchtime.
