Smart Parking Court Letter

Hi, I have had a letter from the County Court saying that Smart Parking are taking me to Court regarding a parking charge notice back in 2020.
I received a 'Letter Before Claim' a few years ago and asked them for all of the evidence to which they did not reply (I can't remember if I had letters before that, but I know I replied to the 'Letter Before 'Claim'.
I was supposed to have overstayed my time but there was no signage (as far as I could see), no pay meter and the time they said I had been parked was TOTALLY untrue.
5 years later, I've now had several more letters (which I have ignored) and today I have received a Court Letter.
Can anyone help please as I am rather worried.
Many thanks

Definitely not from a county court, it's from the CNBC in Northampton, a government office
No need to be worried, just read a dozen recent Smart Parking DCB Legal cases within the last 4 weeks on here
Post the Issue date from the top right of the claim form below and also post a redacted picture of the POC from the lower left of the claim form below after hiding the VRM details first2 -
