    Ok thanks, I’m going to do it later if I can get my head around it all and read up on everything you mentioned.
    Checked  the MCOL and no judgement has been lodged at the moment luckily.

    Just use the Template Defence! All ten paragraphs with her facts added in at 3.

    Don't put it off till tonight: a CCJ could happen at any minute as they just need to press a button! The defence takes ten minutes.

    DO IT NOW - SHE LOGS INTO MCOL. All done in her name not yours.

    In para 3 of the Template Defence she states this:

     3.  The Defendant was not the driver and denies liability. The driver was her husband. It is believed the parking charge was issued wrongly for 'not displaying a permit' because adjacent to where the driver parked had 3 or 4 spaces vaguely marked for permit holders only but the driver in fact parked next to the end parking place. Those spaces are for customers of the local shops to use.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • Thanks very much for that I’ve sent the defence but as it was after 4pm it says it will only be looked at the next day.
    it shows up on the status thatbig has been submitted so hoping I got it in just in time.
    i really appreciate the help, I can stop stressing for a while now.

    Thanks for the replies I’ll take a look at all the sections mentioned and try and work it all out, a lot to take it lol.
    Not sure how to edit my original post to hide the password 
    Here's a redacted copy. This isn't a 'letter' it is a Claim Form. Simple to defend in fact:


    Hi I have a couple of questions, do I fill the MCOL in with my name or my wife’s as all the letters have come addressed to her being the keeper on the logbook but I was using the car ay the time?

    Also for the defendants details do I put spring parking who are down as the claimant, or DCB legal?
    Coupon-mad said:
    You are not the Defendant. Your name goes nowhere. The D is the person named on the claim form and the C is Spring Parking.

    Your wife uses the Template Defence. Not an appeal; the defence where she adds to para 2 that she was not the driver, then puts her facts & response to the allegation as para 3.

    Ok thanks, I’m going to do it later if I can get my head around it all and read up on everything you mentioned.

    Yes you can relax.  If it is submitted on MCOL with her name on it not yours, then she won the race against a default CCJ, regardless of when the CNBC processes it.

    If you are still on holiday, once you are back this month please, please join us for this and help to change the law: 

    FIGHTBACK ALERT:

    Please do the government's Public Consultation. We need every poster to complete this vital survey before the deadline.

    See this thread:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6617396/parking-code-of-practice-consultation-now-extended-closes-friday-26th-september/p1

    We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that. It doesn't matter; no knowledge is needed except re your own experiences so you can call out a scam industry and you'll protect millions of motorists and help change the law. 

    I've written some guidance to help focus new posters on the issues. I've covered almost every question, providing ideas if you agree with our stance on things like DRFs, which we say must be banned.

    Ordinary people like you are falling victim to this scam 15 million times per annum. Motorists need your voice added please.

    CLOSES ON FRIDAY 26th SEPTEMBER.

    Its not YOUR defence,  has to be done in the name of the defendant named on the claim form 
  • Yes, sorry should have said we did it together in her ,the defendants, name I meant to say that it’s not in my name.
    @Coupon-mad I will definitely take a look and join on the survey to help change the law, this kind of thing needs to be stopped.

    Hi all, as a follow up to this I submitted the defence in my wife’s name 10/9 and it was acknowledged that it was received on the morning after on the mcol.
    I've heard nothing since, had no letters,emails or any updates on the mcol do I just sit and wait as it’s over 28 days now and read that’s the claimant deadline.
