issue date on claim form  31 july 2025.   was on my doormat when returned from weekend of sons wedding earlier ths morning
I have not yet responded on MCOL.  I just require confirmation that I post AoS now requiring 28 days  from date of service to prpare my defence. 
I am attempting to redacted my documents now and upload.  Trying to let get my 70 yr old brain to prioritise what I need to do immediately - being an extension of time.  I can then, hopefully,  collate info for defence, cost claim etc.  Just trying to follow procedure without messing anything up

You definitely do not post the AOS, you complete it online on MCOL,  ideally 5 days after the issue date 

Personally I would do the AOS stage on MCOL tomorrow after 4 pm, or Wednesday,  definitely before Friday afternoon, though

No paperwork is involved here,  everything on MCOL for now,  the first post in the defence sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum explains all this, nothing to think about,  it's a process 

Just attach a redacted picture of the POC from the lower left of the claim form below after hiding the VRM details first,  adding a short sentence to that reply too

We dont need anything else

Your costs assessment claim is submitted with the Witness statement bundle next year,  same with the evidence 

Once the AOS is completed later this week,  your deadline date is early September,  although I would suggest later this month

POC redacted below (fingers crossed)

So the POC shows the alleged breach,  so use the standard template only, around 10 paragraphs,  lets see your proposed draft of paragraphs 2 & 3

Bearing in mind the allegation,  no valid pay by phone transaction,  what is the case regarding that allegation   ?  Think carefully about that part

2 hr free parking which we didnt expect to exceed. Pay by phone transaction required for any overstay of 2 hrs.   When realised just over i gave family member a £1 coin to pay for mine. She said it pay by phone, I'll do it as youre a techno phobe!! She said its come back saying no charge owed so we went on our merry way.
When letter of charge came, she also received one so said she would appeal for me.
Appeals were rejected.
Photo/screenshot of message no longer on her phone and as she completed online appeal for, she has no account of the appeal.
There were no visible parking machines to pay on site. Car park has since change to another contract. I managed to locate land owners but appeal to them for cancellation not even acknowledge desite cc to 2 other managers/directors of large retail park developers/owners

Will i need to put anything regarding defence in the initial AoS if asking for futher time. Or just ensure it is done before the end of August.
Ill go onto MCOL later today/tuesday to verify AoS

m0mm4_n4nn4

I will look at  the templates, whilst away and know i will write as defendent and not. I, we, daughter etc. Will submit to yourselves once drafted for "approval"
So many thank to you all for help on this

Ideally AOS later this week,  Wednesday or later ,  as per the advice in the newbies sticky thread in announcements,  plus the advice given in the defence template thread too, everything you need to know is in those 2 announcements

The defence can be submitted online on MCOL by the beginning of September,  to be safe

Many thanks @Gr1pr very much appreciate

Claim form issue date  31 July 2025
AoS  submitted 05/08/2025   Received by MCOL  06/08/2025
Having returned to UK I am now trawling through posts to complete the required defence form section.  I understand this is now completed, via the MCOL form, using the most recent template, editted by @Coupon-mad on 14 August 2025
The template appears gobbledgook to me but I trust I cut and paste, the majority of paragraphs ad verbatin.

a)  In paragraph 2 last sentence - The Defendant has little recollection of events, save as set out below and to admit that they were the registered keeper.  As my daughter made the disputed payment at time of alleged PC, and completed the appeals form on my behalf (in my name), she has no recollection if she named me as the driver.  Should I not mention "and driver"?  She is unable to recall any exact details of what she put in the online appeal submission (parking occurence was June 2023)

b)  Paragraph 3 - I understand I keep this as concise as possible.  (post this on my thread for clarification)

Paragraph 4 - 10 as template (cutting 10 if required to fit form)

When am I likely to have access to documents/evidence the claimant's agent will be using to submit the case.  My daughter no longer has the original NTK.  I don't want to submit a SAR to ECP too early!

Many thanks for the continued guidance and help
