Private parking tickets / Re: HM Courts & Tribunals Service Letter threatening CCJ for non-payment of private parking fine on 10/10/24 in B'ham B1

Hi @b789

I've received notice of Proposed Allocation to the Small Claims Track, saying that the defendant has filed a defence, but a copy of which is not enclosed.

I have a couple of questions if you don't mind:

- Please can you advise how I should fill out the attached N180 document?
- The initial letter says I must file my response with the court office 'and serve copies on all other parties' - please can you advise how I do this?

Please also let me know if there's anything else I should be aware of that I may not have considered.

Appreciate your help with this as ever.

Thanks,
Connor

Thank you so much for your help b789 - I've done as you have said and will await a response - fingers crossed that is the end of it!

Rather than redact more information from the letter and reupload the images, I've removed them completely for now.

Private parking tickets / HM Courts & Tribunals Service Letter threatening CCJ for non-payment of private parking fine on 10/10/24 in B'ham B153AU

I received a parking fine back in October last year when I was parked in a car park that a pub / restaurant shares with a couple of office buildings in Birmingham. I was at the venue (The Highfield, Edgbaston) all day for a work event, and I paid for parking using RingGo. Because I made payment, I couldn't understand why I had received the fine, but it appears that I parked in a spot that belonged to one of the offices rather than the venue I was in, completely unintentionally. The venue's section of the car park was not full, as were the office spaces, this was just a genuine mistake where I parked in the wrong spot. The photos from the claimant (DCB Legal) show signage that I was in the wrong space.


I have moved house since the fine was issued and haven't informed the DVLA or the parking company / debt collection company, so the letters are going to my old address. Luckily I am in touch with the person living in the address and they have passed the letters on to me.


Today I have received a letter from the HM Courts & Tribunals Service saying a claim has been made against me, and if I don't respond to the claim, the claimant could request a CCJ. I'm looking for advice on this, and what is my best course of action here. The debt has now also increased to £264.16, which I simply cannot afford to pay, and as this was down to a genuine mistake and I did pay for the parking, I don't feel like I should pay it out of principal either. But at the same time I definitely do not want a CCJ to be issued against me. I have attached pictures of the letter received, but haven't included the response pack as I believe this to be standardised.

Any advice you can give me on how to handle this is much appreciated.
