claim form received and AoS done and defence due on 1st Dec

Hello everyone. thanks for your help in advance.
I've done the AoS. now is preparing the section 2 & 3 of the defence as instructed. 
the true situation is I paid the parking fee via app. but when I tried to extend the time, the app was loading & can't be opened. do you think this is a good reason to defence? I have the email proof of the original 1st payment.

    Confirming your calculation of 01/12/25 is correct.  Just search the forum for any recent Smart parking defence and use the one that matches your situation the closest.

    Just copy one. 11 paragraphs.

    Don't show us a draft. You are copying.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
