First Anniversary

15 February at 11:33PM in Parking tickets, fines & parking

I have received the following letter below, initially I thought it was the letter before claim or it was a claim which need acknowledgement of service, but when I tried to acknowledge it, the website was saying my claim code was invalid.

I then realised that the letter is addresses to the claimant, which means whoever tried to issue this claim has put my address as the claimant instead of their own address, what would be the best thing to do in this situation?

Does this require a reply? Should I do anything?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

LOL, is the Defendant a parking firm?
If they don't defend you can get a default CCJ…which Defendant?

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

the defendant is me, it seems they just swapped the addresses and put the wrong one for the defendant. Should I ignore or do something ?

Is this to do with any of your other three threads? If so, keep questions on an open thread, rather than starting a new one.

Oh, so you mean it names you as Defendant but with the parking firm's address?
Which parking firm is supposed to be the Claimant?
