Private car park court summons
« on: September 24, 2024, 04:34:29 pm »
Hi everyone. I’ve got a number of car park of tickets from civil enforcement. I appealed most of them, got rejected and then appealed to popla and won. I have overlooked 3 of them, there was just so many coming in. I get free parking when I’m at the gym and they are trying to pursue me for non payment. The car park is 50p and they want £170 for each ticket. I have 3 tickets now outstanding which they have now taken me to court for. One I did try to appeal and they said they don’t accept but as a gesture of good will they will lower it to £60 but didn’t give me the option to appeal this one to popla. Which I’m sure they are meant to do. They wouldn’t allow me to appeal the other 2 because I was over 28 days and said they won’t accept appeals and that I have to pay £170 for each one or they are taking me to court. They wouldn’t allow me to prove I’m a member of the gym or anything. They told me that I have to input my reg into a tablet and that they have no record of this but I didn’t see any tablet to put my reg in and this is also not stated on their signs in the carpark. I now have to prepare my defence. Can anyone help me this? It’s quite mentally exhausting trying to deal with this on top of everything else going on my life at the min. Thank you x

You need to read this and then show us suitably redacted copy of the N1SDT claim form for each claim (assuming you have more than one claim). We need to see the Particulars of Claim (PoC), which solicitor CEL are using and the date the claim was "issued".

You don't need to create an account to upload images to Imgur, but if you can't get it to work, Imgbb and Postimg are 2 alternatives to try.

With an issue date of 10th September, you have until Sunday 29th September to submit your Acknowledgement of Service (AoS). Once you have submitted your AoS, you then have until 4pm on Monday 14th October to submit your defence.

Follow the advice in this PDF on how to file your AoS on MCOL:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xvqu3bask5m0zir/money-claim-online-How-to-Acknowledge.pdf?dl=0

Once you’ve submitted our AoS, let us know and we will provide a short defence and draft order for you to submit as  PDF attachments to an email.

Thank you so much!! Do you think I should wait until Sunday to approve this or should I do it sooner rather than later? Have your defences been successful so far with the civil courts? I’m happy to help however I can but it sounds like you are a lot more clued up than me lol x

There is nothing to be gained by delaying the AoS. Just get it done.

I have never had a single PCN claim issued through DCB Legal end up as an actual hearing. Every single one has been discontinued just before any hearing date and I would put money on this one ending up as a discontinuation too.

We can't offer any guarantees as we cannot predict the future, but a very strong pattern has emerged in the last year or two...

DCB Legal seem to be usingthe court system mainly as a threat - from what I've seen any claim that is defended is eventually discontinued. The only one I'm aware of going to a hearing in the last year or 2 was one where the defendant filed a counterclaim from which they were unwilling to back down. DCB presumably figured that as they'd have to turn up for the counterclaim they might as well press on with theirs.

B789 - Thank you! I will get the acknowledgment done on Friday morning. Sorry for the late reply. Long day 😅. Thank you so much for your help! You’ve put my mind at rest a bit as I do hope it will be the same with my case.

And thank you dwmb2 that is a very interesting point you’ve made! What rogues they are! And thank you for further easing my mind. They seem to use a lot of dirty tactics!

Thank you both so much x
