Money Claim From Moorside Legal for parking at Greater Anglia Car Park in Shenfield.

Hi, i recieved a letter of claim for several unpaid parking tickets at a Greater Anglia car park which is looked after by NCP.
I have had several other similar pcns cancelled by using this template:
I appeal as keeper. I am not obliged to identify the driver and I decline to do so. You cannot transfer the driver's liability (if any) to me as keeper because the location in question is excluded from the definition of 'relevant land' in paragraph 3 of Schedule 4 to the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 ('POFA').
Furthermore, even if (which is not the case) the location is relevant land, your PCN is not POFA-compliant because (without limitation) it was delivered after the end of the 'relevant period' as defined in POFA paragraph 9 and does not contain the mandatory wording required by that paragraph.
I require you to cancel the PCN or issue a POPLA Code so that POPLA can order you to cancel it.

I have acknlowledged the claim but need to make a defence. I have not replied to any letters from moorside legal and have not said i am the driver. All the tickets were all delivered at the end relevant period. So can i use this defence for the money claim as well?
could someone help me draft a letter to write for my defence, i would be very grateful.
thank you
