DCB legal - court papers
Received initial letter for a parking fine a couple years ago, for a day in December 2021. They said I illegally parked in a hospital car park and owe money.
I was actually a nurse employed by the hospital at the time, and paid through my salary for the car parking.
I have continuously ignored them until now when I have received court papers. I am ofcourse going to defend this as I am not liable to pay them anything. I had every right to park there. But just want to see if anyone else has been in the same situation?
They make me laugh because I worked there march 2020-April 2022 and never received any other tickets. But apparently was illegal on one of my shifts in December 2021😂.
Just looking to hear from people who fought back against this and won. I don’t really have much evidence for court other than a payslip but I guess that’s all I’d need surely?
Thanks !

Definitely not a fine, Definitely not illegal either
A payslip is useful for the exhibits stage, but isn't a defence to the actual POC
Plenty of Money Claim threads on here , if you look, especially DCB LEGAL cases ( thousands. )
Post the name of the parking company claimant
Also post the issue date from the top right of the claim form below
And also post a redacted picture of the POC from the lower left of the claim form below after hiding the VRM details first

What do you mean you have received Court papers? Have you received a Claim Form?
Please can you post a suitably redacted picture of the Particulars of Claim?
Who is the Private Parking Company?

Breach not pleaded, do the AOS online stage later this week
Use the special defence template in announcements, Chan & Akande

With an issue date of 06/03/26 and providing you complete(d) the AoS after 11/03/26 and before or on 25/03/26 your defence deadline date is 4.00 p.m. on 08/04/26
As @Gr1pr writes, there is a defence template for you that includes Chan & Akande where no breach is pleaded.
