and the D was issued with a PC by the Claimant

We have such a tsunami of Smart Claims this past month, here is my template reply on how to defend:

Defending these is dead easy!

Just click on the username @Meltof

Copy their version of a Smart Parking final defence posted on April 12th.

No changes. No added facts.

Don't copy & paste it here as we really don't want to keep being asked to check this defence in thread after thread in May, which is driving us regulars a bit mad with this current Smart Parking batch!

Literally read any Smart thread…

Then follow the 8 steps in the Template Defence thread. Easy peasy. It'll be discontinued just before the hearing fee falls due in the Autumn/Winter.

You won't pay a penny.
