2 x County Court Documents Issued for Same Offense

mpenn9972

Wondering if anyone can help. On 27/10/26 Civil Enforcement Limited issued a Claim for an outstanding parking ticket, which we had responsed to them many times detailing the reason for the vehicle being in the private parking area. I responded on my husbands behalf to the moneyclaim online stating the reason as had been stated many times beforehand. Then on 2/11/26 received a letter from the Court stating that defense had been received and forwarded to the claimaint and we could be contacted by them or the claimaint had 28 days to say they wanted to proceed. Then today low and behold a new Claim for the exact same time period, vehicle, place has been registered with a New Claim number on 5/11/26 (only difference is the amount as a week has passed and the interest being claimed is more). I have again responded on the moneyclaim online website. Is this allowed? can a company just keep sending these to the court in hopes that one might be through without actually responding? What happens if both are successful - do we have to pay both even though they are the exact same offense? Help would be grateful. Thanks

Post redacted pictures of the 2 claim forms below, after hiding 4 private details on each one, see the redacted example below

"Offense, defense" are you by any chance American?

There was no offence it was an invoice sent because some lowlife parking company claims you did not comply with their terms and conditions and are making a money claim for damages.

You may have responded may times explaining why the vehicle was there in contravention of the claim but they would only respond once to any appeal, which would be an automatic rejection any way they aren't interested in appeals only money.

Why did you respond to the money claim on your husband's behalf, you are making little sense?

I suspect all they have done is reissue the claim but with in a new name.

Assuming this is what you meant?

Same PCN ref so they must discontinue the second claim. Send a complaint email to their DPO (see their data privacy page) as this is data abuse. You could have bunged in a counterclaim for this one, and made money!

So , 27th October and 5th November, 2 separate claims for the exact same pcn reference number

Iidentical incident date and times in and out, for one single stay of 12 minutes

The alleged breach is not pleaded

If the same defendant is named on both claims then they c###ed up big time by issuing the 2nd claim on 5th November

yeah same defendant on both claims - thats why i wondered if this was correct or not

I responded on my husband's behalf

Only the person named on the claim form can defend. What do you mean? Did you complete the AoS and submit a defence in your husband's name or did you do it in your name "on his behalf"?

Has the named Defendant submitted two defences already? In their name, not yours on their behalf?

mpenn9972

yes husband has submitted 2 defences already, 1 for each claim - he is the named Defendant on both.
