CCJ from Parking Eye - help to get it set aside and contest charge

freddiefluff

Hi all, 

I have read through the threads and would love some support with my next steps. 

I have already written to Parking Eye solicitors to ask them to join me in an application to set aside, following the format in a previous thread, but had no response. 

I am now preparing the N244 form and would appreciate any advice. 

The speed at which I have been able to follow the guidelines has not been very quick, due to ill health, but I am absolutely focussed on getting this next step done asap. I know this is important. 

Here is the timeline: 

Feb 2024 moved house.
Updated on the electoral roll and council tax. 
Did not update VC5 or driving licence as was not aware I needed to and in the midst of a divorce. 
Feb 2025 received a debt collection letter from DCBL. 
Contacted CNBC to find out the details as this was the first I had heard about it. 
March 2025 sent letter to Parking Eye Ltd solicitors as above. 
No response so now preparing N244. 

Is this ok for the DRAFT ORDER? 

Notes - do I need to fill in the XX's? I get help with my fees so I won't have to pay anything, so do I need to amend point 6? 

Thank you in advance.

Was the claim from DCB Legal solicitors or from ParkingEye issued 'in-house'?

Have you got the Particulars of Claim? Show us those.

No you don't send that. Read a more recent example: e.g. the thread by @Truss_me

Yes it was a Notice of Debt Recovery from DCBL. Shall I upload a picture? 

Ah ok, thanks. I'll take a look now at the more recent thread. 

Thank you for your help

Nope, because that's not the same exact company I was asking about.

I was asking which legal firm filed the claim. DCBL is not the same Ltd company as 'DCB Legal' (who I can see were not involved in your case).

It was ParkingEye in-house.

The Notice of Debt recovery was DCBL. The claimant solicitors are ParkingEye Limited (7359). 

I had to get my previous comment deleted by admin, so apologies for the delay, but here are the particulars:
