Private parking tickets / Re: Claim Form arriving too late

Hi again. We've received an email about mediation phone call, which is scheduled soon. It says:
"...
Explaining your position

You will need to briefly explain your claim or defence to the mediator. You should prepare for yourself a brief summary of the main points.
Negotiating options 

You’re attending mediation with a view to settling your case. This means negotiating to overcome disputed issues. The mediator is neutral and helps each party to explore options and discuss risks. Mediation works when you’re willing to listen to what the other party has to say, negotiate and agree a settlement.
Building agreement

Settlement can be in many different forms, for example, payment, goods or work. Both parties must agree on the outcome and feel they have reached an acceptable resolution.
Reaching a settlement

The mediator will read the terms of the settlement and confirm agreement with each party. Once agreed, the settlement is legally binding and cannot be changed. A copy of the mediation settlement is sent to both parties and placed on the court file.
..."

I watched the youtube video they provided in the email, it says that the call may take up to an hour! Can i ignore the mediator's questions and just keep saying that "I'm not guilty and all I'm willing to pay is zero pounds"?
Thanks again, kind regards.

Hello, we've received a letter from DCBL informing that their client wants to proceed with the claim. Please see attached a picture. They also say, that they may be prepared to settle, and sent us a copy of directions questionnaire. We think it's just another scare tactic and they hope we give in. Do we need to reply to them or do we wait for the court letter? Once again, thanks for any help.

I created a 3 pages long pdf file, edited only the defence part and sent it already via email. Fingers crossed now. Massive thanks for your help.

Yes, this is for two PCNs, and you're right about Particulars of Claim, both dates are contravention dates.

Just checked the history and all it says is: A claim was issued against you on 11/03/2025. I think that qualifies for a lottery ticket, right?

Thank you for taking your time. I've attached the form. I'll check the history now.

Private parking tickets / Claim Form arriving too late

Hi everyone,

The registered keeper is being chased for private PCNs. The keeper believes that charges were unfair and there were also mitigating circumstances. She ignored the PCN and letters from debt collecting agencies. Today she received a Claim Form dated 11/03 and it looks like it would be too late to acknowledge the claim. Is there anything she can do? It looks like the deadline had already passed. She is devastated.
