Parking eye chasing 5 years old PCN.

Hello,

Received a letter from HM Courts and Tribunals service to say that Parking EYE LTD claims that I owe money to them.
Please see below:







Below is the previous communication with parkingeye:

The driver has been identified so that is a problem in itself. Can you post up the original PCN and signs. You have submitted some kind of appeal do you have the outcome letter from the POPLA assessor. You have to reply to the claim which will buy you sometime to formulate an additional account it looks like this may go further.

You have to file a defence or Acknowledgment of Service by 7 September
If you file an AoS, you have to file a defence by  21 September

Claims for breach of contract can be initiated within six years, so no issue there on the face of it.

How's this £240 made up that they are claiming?

Where is the original PCN, so that we can all see the basis on which this claim has been brought against you?
You have 107 posts so I’d expect you know this to be important for us to see.

Sorry, I did not mention it in the initial post. Remembered posting on the old Pipepoo forums but obviously, we do not have access to that anymore.

It has been more than 5 years and hence the pcn is lost. Do not think that it went to POPLA as the appeal was made and then there was no interaction and not sure where £240 came from they just added the cost over cost.


I think one of the imgbb link was broken please find below the appeal made initially to which parkingeye were asking for £20.

You can send a Subject Access Request to Parking Eye asking for all personal information they hold on you, which will include the original PCN. You may receive this documentation in time to help you construct a defence, noting the deadlines already mentioned.

I have checked there is no email for parkingeye. So, should I just write on the address given for requesting the subject access?

Two seconds of searching:

Please advise?

What date does the defence need to be entered by?

file a defence or Acknowledgment of Service by 7 September
If you file an AoS, you have to file a defence by  21 September

Do I still have time to file the defence directly even though AoS is not filed?

If you didn't do the AOS there's a good chance PE have applied for a default judgement already unfortunately. Try to log onto MCOL ASAP and see if it will let you do it.

It is showing view instructions and apply for set aside.

I had replied to parking eye that "I have until 7th September to respond to HM Courts. If I do not receive any information from you by then, I will inform the court that I have not received any further information from you." And til date I am awaiting their reply. Can this be a strong defence reason. In addition, I was overseas since 4th Sept for 9 days.

Also, what are the steps going forward. Can they force CCJ straight away if I do not pay?
