Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi so I have an update and want to continue this thread but it doesn’t let me upload attachments

The mediator told me that the claimant believes my “defence is not acceptable” and they will proceed with a court hearing if a settlement is not reached

There is also this, please let me know if there is anything else I can provide/help with to give you a better idea as this is all incredibly confusing to me

Sorry I got it mistaken, to confirm it was not a CCJ set aside but rather a Judgement for claimant (in default) which was sent by CNBC. This was sent to me on the 13th of March. After submitting my defence this was set aside on the 9th April. The claimant carried on with the original claim on the 12th May

Yes the claim was transferred to my local county court, Northampton county court to be specific, it was set aside by a judge after they had received my defence, which is the one you created for me earlier in the thread.

A few weeks later DCB Legal sent me a letter saying they want to proceed with the claim and that I would be sent a questionnaire

This questionnaire came last week and I’ve got until the 6th of June to fill it out and submit

I am unable to modify my original post, also I do not have the notice

So to give a bit of background info, back in August 2024 I parked at a car park owned by group nexus so I could go to the gym, at the time i was quite new to this gym and did not know I had to put in my license plate to avoid getting a fine. I ended up parking there for just over 3 hours (long session I know) and then went about as normal. I received a letter a few weeks later stating I had to pay a fine of £70, I dismissed these letters as I was told these private parking companies send you a few letters to scare you and then they stop, I even received some DCBL letters which I again ignored thinking it would go away after some time. Today I received some rather scary looking documents from HM courts and tribunal services, which included an N9A, N9B, admission form and a claim form. I understand it is my fault for ignoring the letters and not appealing in the first instance, but I don’t particularly fancy paying the fine, so I was what should I do?
