Received Claim Form - County Court Business Centre

[badge]

Greetings,

I arrived home today and found a Claim Form from Civil Enforcement Ltd issued by Northampton court. Its looks like a parking fine which they are trying to recover. Till date I have not had any intimation or correspondence from this company and I do not know when I have breached this contract. The fine it seems is from 31.1.2012!

total amount worth £240.66
Claimant - signed Micahel Scwartz.

I want to challenge this- can anyone help?

regards

Is it possible to post up a copy of the claim form - any identifiable details

If it is a genuine court claim from Northampton then you must acknowledge the claim on line and tick defend, that gives you 33 days from the date on the letter to get a defence in

If it's Cel then it might not be time to acknowledge if the particulars of claim are to follow.

Post up what you have and do not give away the drivers identity as it's pre keeper liability.

Sanitise everything before posting.

Well the particulars of claim are to follow so don't acknowledge yet. We can prepare though. I'll be around from later tomorrow for 3 days as i'm off shift then.

Re: Received Claim Form - County Court Business Centre

Hi Thanks, do I need to acknowledge the court particulars? I am a bit confused as it says I need to respond within 14 days. I away on holiday from the 4th friday next week for 3 weeks. Will this be an issue? I will have internet access though.

Re: Received Claim Form - County Court Business Centre

You need to file acknowledgement within 14 days of getting the particulars of claim. As these are to follow within 14 days of the claim form then it is not yet time to do so.

It's not an issue if someone can tell you when things arrive. Otherwise we'll have to guess a bit.

Re: Received Claim Form - County Court Business Centre

Okay that makes sense but I am away from next Friday! so am a bit stuffed because the particulars might arrive when I am away?? any thoughts?

Re: Received Claim Form - County Court Business Centre

File acknowledgement of service before you go if you haven't got the particulars before you go. Hopefully they arrive beforehand.

Re: Received Claim Form - County Court Business Centre

So if I was returning on the 26th would I have enough time to file a defence with your help? can this be done all online?
If I don't hear from them by this Thursday I will submit online before I go. Thank you very much for such a great service. How do you guys fund this website? I would like to make a small donation to do my bit if that is at all possible?

You have 28 days from when you get the particulars of claim providing you file acknowledgement of service.

I'll let [MENTION=6]Amethyst[/MENTION] answer the other query.

Re: Received Claim Form - County Court Business Centre

M1 - quick question if I may please? Is there a chance that you don't even get details of particulars and they are hoping you just pay up? I cannot recall getting a ticket or ever hearing from them so am a bit worried. What's the likely timeframes in your experience of being sent detailed particulars? is it possible that they won't even bother sending these and i still have to acknowledge receipt of claim?

They may be late but i'd expect you to get them.

I cannot recall getting a ticket or ever hearing from them so am a bit worried.

That's a good thing, not getting anything as it gives an argument against holding the keeper liable and they'll have no idea who the driver is/was.

What's the likely timeframes in your experience of being sent detailed particulars?

Seems to be mixed and random.

is it possible that they won't even bother sending these and i still have to acknowledge receipt of claim?

Yes but without sending them they are giving themselves issues.
