Judgement for Claimant in default, even though I replied to the Claim form on time

HMCTS are responding with the usual fob-off that the claim was sent out but are not answering the question about why an N30 Judgment for Claimant (in default) form was printed on the reverse of a Claim and Response pack cover letter. The response you receive will need to be escalated to Stage 2.

I also suggest you SAR the CNBC and make sure you include the following in it:

Please provide all personal data you hold about me in connection with this case, including but not limited to:

• All correspondence sent to or from me

• The MCOL claim form (N1SDT) and any documents issued or purportedly served

• Any records of printing, postage or despatch of the N1SDT and response pack

• Internal notes, audit trails, and system logs showing the creation, handling or dispatch of documents

• Any correspondence or documentation relating to the default judgment (Form N30)

• Metadata or system data related to the printing of the documents I received (a claim pack cover letter and N30 printed on the same A4 sheet)

I also request an explanation of how my personal data was processed during this case, including decisions made about printing, bundling, and despatch.

I expect a full response within the statutory deadline of one month from receipt of this request.

You'll need to provide a copy of photo ID (I know it is not essential but they will ask for it anyway, if not provided) and a copy of a recent bill or statement with your address on it as proof of identity.

I have also noticed that these default CCJs are being registered before the 30 day payment period has expired.

SAR? Could you advise what this means?

True. Appalling admin.

All acronyms are in the fifth post of the NEWBIE sticky but to save you the trouble of going to look it is Subject Access Request.

Good. Case back on track. While it is quiet in your battle, now help win the war:

We need you!

PLEASE bookmark this thread below and do the government's Public Consultation if you haven't done it yet. Their proposals are wrong. We must stop them.

See this thread: -

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6617396/parking-code-of-practice-consultation-8-weeks-from-11th-july-2025/p1

We need every poster to come back & complete this vital Consultation before the deadline! Just 2 weeks left but please don't rush it. You can do some then save it and come back to it as you have time.

We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that.

So to try to help, I've written some guidance on that thread.

Any questions on the Consultation please ask - on the dedicated thread - but I've covered up to question 20 already in that first post, openly telling everyone what I'm going to put and/or what sort of evidence you might wish to use for your response, if you agree with what we'll be saying from our experience.

Whilst your answers must of course be your own, there are vital points to safeguard motorists interests to make, that many people may not think of without our guidance because we see cases every day and we know the legal background. 

However, people like you have lived & breathed the intimidation, greed and unfairness first hand so your voice is needed!
