You mention that the driver parked in a disabled bay, and in some fashion had written authorisation to park, but the actual claim is that the driver overstayed. How do these three facts relate to each other?

Any real defence is going to have more substance than what you propose.

For now, acknowledge service, leave the defence box blank, and work up a proper defence draft with help from the forum.

One very important point to bear in mind is that it is possible for them to take you to court and win, if (a) you admit (e.g. on social media) to being the driver and (b) the total owed exceeds £300. One unfortunate Scottish woman was convinced that such fines were unenforceable in Scotland, and blithely kept parking where she wasn't supposed to. The parking company took her to court, won, and were awarded over £20,000.

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, you weren't parked on the land you own, but were parked on a street which isn't adopted by the council. Is there any particular reason why you would have some sort of right to park there? Who manages the street? I.e. who would have contracted UKPC to manage parking?

Your description around the claim and CCJ is very vague. Please give a detailed account.  In particular, is this a single claim? Have you received a judgement in default, and if so what was its date of issue? Did you fail to submit a defence in time?

I think there may be a problem here. The lease gives permission from the landlord to park only if a permit is displayed. Arguably, if a permit wasn't displayed, then the driver wasn't parking with the permission of the landlord, and thus might be deemed to be trespassing. At which point a good case could be made that in this specific case, if there are prominent signs, then the act of parking is an indication of acceptance of the contract (if any) offered by the signs.

A pedantry point: there is no such thing as a "registered owner"; it's "registered keeper".

So if I'm understanding correctly, the vehicle entered the car park at 11:13, a 1 hour ticket was paid for at 12:33 and the vehicle exited the car park at 12:36.

On the face of it this looks like a straightforward overstay. Can you explain why you think this wasn't the case? Also, why did it take 20 minutes for the ticket to be purchased?
