CEL County Court form

Hi,
I'm in receipt of a claim form from CEL relating to not paying a parking fine issued back in July 2017, I ignored all the threatening letters and debt collectors letters and they have finally decided to issue the claim form to me.
The incident relates to parking in a free car park for 59 minutes. The bizarre thing is that the parking limit for the car park is 60 minutes so I'm not too sure why they are pursuing this. The car was registered in the doctors surgery. It's not like the driver wandered into town, the driver was in the doctor's the entire time (the Doctor was running late that day).
I am not the driver but I am the defendant, I'm assuming they got my details from the DVLA/vehicle leasing company (it's a company car).
This is the exact wording of the Particulars of Claim.

Very sparse ???
Is this from Northampton ?
If this is a real claim, were you sent a "letter before action"
giving you precise details and proof of their claim and
then 30 days to respond.
It's odd that they don't seem to know if it was ANPR or
a warden type ????
You need to talk to the surgery about this disgusting
company and get them to cancel and stop CEL.
This can be stopped right up to the last minute
You need to inform the surgery about this wild bunch
SHOW THEM THIS

Thanks for replying, yes, this is from Northampton, they did send me a threatening letter on the 8th March warning that I had 30 days to respond but I just ignored it, they provided no proof or documentation, it just looked like a standard letter asking me to download their information sheet from their website.
I have approached the Doctors surgery but they didn't seem interested and insisted that the car parking had nothing to do with them.
I'll try and build a response tomorrow and paste it in here but I'm after advice about whether to counter claim, if I need to take time off work and travel to/from the court surely they are liable for my costs?0 -

Have a look at this thread:

NHS trusts remain liable for the actions of their agents, IF they took on CEL.I still have a few days to submit my defense.Should I counter claim against them for emotional distress?I've tried calling them a few times assuming it is a mistake but they aren't easy to get hold of.
All you need to do is copy the latest CEL defences on the first page or two today. Any recent CEL one will do the job for you too. I replied to one only an hour ago, saying the defence was fine.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Is this a car park not attached in any way to the surgery ?
Does it have signage saying patients only ?
You need to give us full information
I believe it is a sign that states parking for Medical Centre Only, I can go there tomorrow and take photos if required, you have to enter your registration at the surgery when you arrive (which the driver did)What is the date of issue on your Claim Form?
Have you done the Acknowledgement of Service yet?
Date of issue is 17th April 2018
I haven't completed the Acknowledgement of Service yet, I still have just under 2 weeks to respond0 -
If you do the AOS, you then have longer (28 days) to respond with the defence, well into May.
See the NEWBIES thread and follow the AOS walk through in pictures. Do it now.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

By doing the AoS you are buying yourself another two weeks to formulate your Defence. Well worth doing.
Do the AoS and you have until 4pm on Monday 21 May 2018 to file a Defence.
Instructions on doing the AoS are in a dropbox file linked from post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ thread. It's in pictures - very easy to do.0 -

The signs say it all and having to enter your reg number
in the surgery must show that the surgery is lying to you
This is very serious for the surgery ..... if the surgery
allows reg numbers to be entered within, then, they took on
CEL ....... THEY are liable for the actions of CEL
Suggest you have a word with the practice manager of the
surgery's liability0
