    OK, so its a CEL in house Money Claim dated 23rd April

    The alleged breach is not pleaded

    I suggest that you delete the picture because your VRM , PCN reference and password are on show

    You have left a PCN reference, VRM and claim password showing.

    So what do I do now? My mental health is already taking a significant hit receiving this and I’m already regretting just not paying the original fine because all this stress over my head was absolutely not worth it

    1. Wait until Wednesday, then complete the AOS online stage on MCOL via your government gateway account, as explained in the 2nd post in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum

    2) Then use the Chan and Akande defence template from the defence template thread in announcements near the top of the forum, copy, paste, save, submit ( read the 1st two posts in the defence template thread. )

    Use the intervening time to study those 3 posts carefully

    Do both today if you want to

    But the service date is 5 days after the issue date, hence why I suggested Wednesday, on the service date, giving you 4 or days to get up to speed

    How to do the AOS is shown in page by page pictures and the Chan & Akande defence is already written for you.

    This is the easy part! Think of it as the fair dispute resolution that you wanted.

    Just read the Template Defence thread.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    With an issue date of 23/04/26 and providing you complete(d) the AoS after 28/04/26 and before or on 12/05/26 your defence deadline date is 4.00 p.m. on 26/05/26
