After following your helpful advice b789 (and submitting the evidence bundle at 2 mins prior to the deadline) I can confirm they have discontinued court proceedings (details attached).
Can’t say thank you enough - hugely relieved to have this ongoing saga finished and with a positive result no less! Took just over 12 months from Charge issued to it being cleared but having ignored at first until the Claim form from the CNBC received around 8 months ago. I feel if they went the distance they probably would have succeeded in their claim as I didn’t really have concrete defence (apart from the technical one b789 provided) as was defo at fault in the first place. I decided to ignore the initial letters (partly out of principle as to not encourage such scummy/predatory behaviour) as had done previously with other claims and these eventually went away without any action required, but going forwards think I will change tact and engage quicker (by speaking to land owner, appealing through POPLA etc) to avoid the added stress of potential court proceedings.
Not sure how you (b789) have the time/effort/knowledge to fight the good cause on behalf of respectable motorists but am ever so grateful for your energy & input.
I hope I have no need to correspond in the future but nevertheless am grateful knowing this great site/resource/community will be able to advise how to proceed in as stress free a manner as possible.
All the best.
