CCJ help

bibbles020104

Hi everyone, looking for some advice regarding a parking CCJ and whether I should now move forward with an N244 set aside application.

Timeline:

• I only recently discovered the CCJ after checking my credit file
• Judgment was entered in October 2024
• I never received the PCN, claim form, or court correspondence
• The documents were apparently served to an address I was not residing at at the time
• I have bank statements proving I was living elsewhere when the claim was issued

The alleged parking contravention was in April 2024, however I sold/transferred ownership of the vehicle in July 2023 and I have DVLA confirmation proving this.

I initially tried contacting the CNBC/CNBCB in February to get information regarding the CCJ but never received a reply, so I then contacted DCB Legal directly and emailed their info, complaints, advice and response teams.

In my original email, I:

• disputed the judgment
• explained I never received the claim
• requested copies of all correspondence/evidence
• advised I was considering a set aside under CPR 13.2 / 13.3
• asked whether they would consent to a set aside

DCB Legal then replied asking me to provide evidence showing where I was residing when the claim was issued. I sent:

• proof of address/bank statements
• DVLA confirmation showing I was no longer the registered keeper before the alleged contravention

I then received another response stating:

• the CCJ has already been entered
• liability has already been determined by the court
• they will not review my evidence further
• I should seek independent legal advice
• and they are demanding payment to avoid enforcement action

They completely ignored my question regarding whether they would consent to a set aside.

Given the circumstances:

• not living at the service address
• no knowledge of the claim
• acted promptly once discovered
• DVLA proof vehicle sold prior to contravention

Would my next step now be:

• sending one final email asking them to confirm consent/refusal to a set aside,
  or
• proceeding straight to an N244 application?

Also, does this sound more like a CPR 13.2 mandatory set aside or CPR 13.3 discretionary one?

Any advice would really help as this is seriously affecting my credit file and ability to obtain housing/finance.

This is a CPR 13.2 mandatory set aside. However I'll send you a pm.
