    It's not a fine.

    Have you read the newbies thread?

    Have you contacted the landowner?

    You won't get a CCJ unless:
    1. You go to court
    2. you lose in court
    3. you don't pay in 28 days

    That CCJ is just a threat.

    Post a redacted copy of the letter from CNBC.

    It's one of the Announcements threads situated at top of page 1 above list of threads. Click on Parking tickets, fines & parking (in a white box) there's one near the top and bottom of every page.

    If you tell us the date of issue of the N1SDT claim form, we can give you some advice about deadlines for the AoS and your defence.  If you post the claim form on your thread, we can offer advice about your defence.

    Claim form issue date 27th Oct. 

    You need to report these 3 images for removal. You've not redacted Claim No. car reg in POC, and password in Important Note.
    See yellow box above your first post for info on redacting.

    Smart Parking via DCB Legal,  issue date 27th October,  Overstayed free time in the typical POC details 

    Report those images ASAP,  very important to protect your data and privacy

    Login to your government gateway account and navigate to MCOL and complete the AOS online stage ASAP

    You can only have one government gateway account,  so login and then find Money Claim On Line, MCOL  ( not just your tax on that gateway  )

    Do not pay, even if you lost next year the total would be at least £70 less
