Smart Parking/DCB Legal CCJ against me

in Parking tickets, fines & parking

After moving house I have found out I have a CCJ against me dated 07/05/2026. Claimant is Smart Parking/DCB Legal. I presume that if I pay by 06/06/2026 the CCJ will clear from my record. Given the timescale, and against my better judgement, I am inclined to pay. Do I have any other realistic option?

    You could set a side but theirs costs in that and you'd need some reasons as to why you haven't been able to respond, proof of moving house evidence.

    Payment to the court is £313 with a hearing and £123 without (please double check fees), it's unlikely the other side will agree, they are also entitled to costs at the hearing I think they would be fixed at £50 or something I cannot quite remember.

    You wouldn't get that 313/123 back though.

    Yep - but no need to do that (or pay) because there is another option that we use on this forum. Certainly no paying that amount.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    OK, thanks Coupon-mad. Have read through what I can but didn’t pick up another option to use at this late stage.
