Claim Form

I have taken no action on a parking notice and the debt collector’s letters or on the Letter of Claim.

I’ve now received a Claim Form from the court. Can I ask advice on how best to proceed please (can’t find a specific reference this in the Newbies thread).

It is from Euro Car Parks and the original notice from 2024 was for overstaying my paid for time, can’t remember by how much, but certainly less than 30 minutes over. They are claiming £286.56 from me, including court costs etc.

I went to court on a ticket once before and lost. I think that was Euro Car Parks as well. 

If I were to get a CCJ, do you know if this is treated the same way as other CCJs in respect of borrowing money etc?

    This wont get as far as a hearing,  nevermind a CCJ, pure speculation 

    Post the Issue date from the top right of the claim form below 

    Also post a redacted picture of the POC from the lower left of the claim form below after hiding the VRM details first 

    Probably a typical ECP , DCB Legal money claim 

    Post 2 in the newbies sticky thread in announcements explains what to do, plus study the 8 steps in the defence template thread in announcements too

    Personally,  I would also read a dozen recent ECP DCB LEGAL claims,  see what they did with the template defence by coupon mad
