Re-send the defence you sent last October, plus the acknowledgment of its receipt, and ask them what they’re playing at by saying your defence is missing.

You are not responsible for their ****-up.

ok will do. The defence was never submitted to the court by me, only to the parking cmpany and then the parking ombudsman (a year and a half ago) so I guess MET parking didn't include it - is it their responsibility to include my defence?

Anyway, will send something in during the week.


As per Reply #32 you needed to submit your defence to the court.
You didn’t, so you could have received a default judgement against you, but it looks like you’re being given a second chance. Take it! Waiting a few days is a bad idea. MET can apply for a default judgement against you tomorrow because of your failure to file a defence. Don’t mess about!

It’s your defence and your responsibility. Nothing to do with MET or anyone else.

I submitted the defence as stated in your post of 21st October and have received an acknowledgement from the CNBC.

Sorry, I was getting confused.

I did submit the defence you provided as per #32 and have a copy of it, and also a letter from HM Courts & Tribunals Service which says 'I acknowledge receipt of your defence. A copy is being served on the claimant.' etc etc.

The defence as per #32 was about how the claimant didn't provide enough details etc, do I now have to include reasons why I believe the parking ticket was not valid, i.e. I stayed less than the permitted 90 minutes and was a customer?.

Thanks

No, as in Reply #45, if you submitted a defence and it was acknowledged that’s your defence, you need to re-send it and ask them what they’re on about by saying that you didn’t submit one.

thank you, now re-submitted, together with the acknowledgement of receipt
