Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi, today I received a CCJ for a parking ticket back in January. Received very little previous correspondence besides the original pcn never reived a particulars of claim, Not sure how to proceed. I overstayed by 20 minutes locating a parking space, reading signage and then finding my car on the way out. The original pcn has been lost since. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

You haven’t received a “CCJ”, or a County Court Judgement. You have received a county court claim (which includes somewhat rubbish Particulars of Claim), to which you must respond by 29 July with an Acknowledgement of Service or a defence. If you file an AoS you have a further 14 days (12 August) to file a defence.

If you send CEL a Subject Access Request for all personal information they hold on you, the reply will include the original PCN. It would seem sensible to file an AoS, therefore, to give you more time before you need to file a defence, by when you hopefully will have received the original PCN.
