    Ignore the above 

    Study the 8 steps in the defence template thread in announcements near the top of the forum by coupon mad  you are around halfway through them  ( why have you abandoned those very important 8 steps. ? )

    Dont discuss the case,  it's only about a possible financial settlement,  not about the case itself , so can be as simple as the sentence I said in my reply below

    And do not mention the word fine,  its a charge,  an invoice,  not a fine 

    The claim was never sold on, wich is why the private parking company is the claimant  !

    Who told you that it was sold on. ?  ( its forbidden to be sold on due to their KADOE contract with the DVLA. )

    STOP. Why on earth have you planned to say all that? There are 3 links showing what to say in your 2 minute Mediation call.

    They are in the 8 steps you were following.

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