Harrassed by parking company though I did pay to park & proved it, please help

Sounds like you may already have a default judgment on its way to you if you are on day 21.

Why didn’t you appeal to POPLA? The parking firm will have given you a POPLA code with their rejection.

If you do have a default judgment you should either pay it now to avoid a CCJ, or look into getting it set aside.

Either way you need to urgently check if you still have time to acknowledge the claim.

The issue date on the letter is 10th Oct 2017. So I worked it out as 5 days on from that, plus 14 days. But here I am on 9th Nov having not replied at all.

Can you answer my question about which firm this is, please.

And tell us when you've done the AOS online, assuming the POC were stated in the claim.

You may already have a ccj against you!

(The claimant can ask for judgement in default as soon as the 14 days to reply have passed)

Try a credit agency and see if you have a ccj against you

I'm away from home at the minute, the letter I've got with me from Wright and Hassall says they were instructed by ZZPS. I assume that is the parking firm.

Does AOS mean Acknowledgement of Service and is that what I need to do on MCOL please? The acronyms don't mean anything to me, having looked on the newbies post the only one for AOS is:

AOS = Approved Operator Scheme of an Accredited Trade Association such as the BPA (or the new one, the IPC). Only AOS members can get DVLA data.

I would have thought that this claim was from CEL as it says STARPARK in an early post

Civil Enforcement Limited also t/as Starpark & Creative Car Park & Parksolve

therefore it may well say PARTICULARS OF CLAIM TO FOLLOW with 14 days

if it does, have they arrived yet ?

if so , dates on POC and date on the actual envelope please

POC is Particulars Of Claim

AOS is Acknowledgement Of Service

MCOL is Money Claim On Line (in the newbies thread , post #5)

Thank you, yes you're right it was Starpark. Apparently ZZPS have instructed CEL to pursue this though.

On the front of the claim form it says Particulars of Claim and below lists a date, ref no and amount.

Redx · 9 November 2017 at 10:01PM

ZZPS are debt collectors and have no say in the matter

CEL is the parent company of Starpark

I would have thought that CEL issued the MCOL via Northampton

so we need to know about the POC etc as well as who paid for the court claim

does it say POC TO FOLLOW WITHIN 14 DAYS ?

I think this OP has lost valuable time/advice by disappearing for almost 5 months, until reappearing just an hour ago. He needs to answer questions when asked, otherwise we’re all guessing.

Ah ok, thank you. The PoC are listed as follows:

Outstanding debt and damages
Date: 17/11/16
Description: This is just a ref no
Amount: 236.00
Due date: 17/11/16

Total due - 236.00
The Claimant claims the sum of 252.86 for Outstanding debt and damages including 16.86 interest pursuant to S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984. Rate 8.00% pa from dates above to 09/10/17. Same rate to Judgment or (sooner) payment. Daily rate to Judgment 0.05. Total debt and interest due 252.86. I will provide the defendant with separate detailed particulars within 14 days after service of the claim form.

So ok, duh, I have not been reading this properly - they ARE sending PoC separately. Last time I check my mail box a couple of days ago I had no such thing.

I already told you that the NEWBIES thread tells you NOT to do an AOS or defence if it's a claim form that says ''POC to follow''. So do NOT do the AOS or defence yet.

Read other CEL threads. You are not out of time.

At home, has the POC just arrived last week, like in the hundreds of other threads exactly the same as yours? Have you even read other CEL threads and the NEWBIES thread post #2?

KEEP the envelope the POC arrive in. You'll have seen from other CEL threads, you need the envelope.
