Claim Form (Civil National Business Centre)

BlurryVision101

Hi all,

Thanks for looking firstly

I received a PCN from ParkingEye dated 6th June 2025 for contravening the maximum stay of their car park after business hours, rather annoyingly I have misplaced the original PCN letter I got and the car it was charged to has since been scrapped and I no longer have the v5

After a few months I received a letter from DCB Legal but from advice on here I didn't respond and they sent another a few months later with the same ominous messaging

I received last month their "Letter of Claim" with heightened fees but did the same as I have read on discussions on the past

Unfortunately today I receive a claim form from The CNBC in Nottingham regarding payment to the sum of £266.20

I haven't yet pushed forward any defence as such and was looking for advice on where to go from here

Any help is hugely appreciated

Thank you, respond with the defence template in the pinned discussions to the reply section?

Anything else that I need to be wary of?

No, read it again

AOS online on MCOL this weekend is the first response ( today is the 16th )

Then use the bespoke Chan and Akande tailored defence by copying and pasting it into the defence box on MCOL afterwards

No paperwork no pictures or scans, no posting anything

So found this after some reading

The Defendant, has little recollection of events considering this was more than a year ago, and has little to add other than admitting that they were the registered keeper and not driver, so questions whether the Notice to Keeper was even POFA compliant.

1. With regards to the POC in question, two recent persuasive appeal judgments in Civil Enforcement Limited v Chan (Ref. E7GM9W44) and Car Park Management Service Ltd v Akande (Ref. K0DP5J30) would indicate the POC fails to comply with Civil Procedure Rule 16.4(1)(e) and Practice Direction Part 16.7.5. On the 15th August 2023, in the Chan case, HHJ Murch held: 'the particulars of the claim as filed and served did not set out the conduct which amounted to the breach in reliance upon which the claimant would be able to bring a claim for breach of contract'. The same is true in this case and the Defendant trusts that the Court should strike out the extant claim, using its powers pursuant to CPR 3.4. The second recent persuasive appeal judgment also held that typical private parking case POC (like this) fail to comply with Part 16. On the 10 May 2024, in CPMS v Akande, HHJ Evans held: 'Particulars of Claim have to set out the basic facts upon which a party relies in order to prove his or her claim
   

I was the driver at the time however so therefore don't want to be untruthful, but do I need to add anything else to this? Apologies for the amount of replies, first time doing this and it's a nightmare in truth

Clearly you aren't only putting that in.

Just use the template defence with the special paragraph 3 for cases with no breach specified.

There is no need to check with us. It's already written. Ten paragraphs.
