Is this CCJ - should I pay or ignore ?

Hi all, need urgent advice.

  • Claimant: Euro Car Parks Limited
  • Solicitors: DCB Legal Ltd
  • Amount: £295.84
  • Judgment date: 19 March 2026
  • Entered: in default

Timeline:

  • Received parking charge ~2 years ago
  • Appealed → rejected
  • DCB Legal chased repeatedly, I ignored believing the charge was wrong
  • Never responded to the court claim form
  • Just received the default CCJ via a previous address

Questions:

  1. Is the CCJ defendable given I already lost the appeal stage?
  2. I'm within the one month window to pay and have it removed from the register — is paying the pragmatic move or worth fighting?
  3. Any known weaknesses in Euro Car Parks/DCB Legal claims worth exploring?

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
