Parking ticket

[Ryanh]

Hi. I would appreciate help on this matter.
I received a parking fine from VCS, I was given a date to reply by and I replied by this date via email on 22nd March stating I wasn’t going to pay the amount they asked for (£160) and was willing to sort this before it going any further. I did not receive a reply until 23rd April, saying it’s in the hands of elms legal now. And received a letter from elms legal (attached ). I rang elms legal to respond and told them how I tried contacting VCS to sort the situation yet they threatened if I don’t pay the next step is court.

could anyone help me please in how I respond on the next stage. Thank you in advance

Dear Sirs,

Claim Number: ....
Request for documents mentioned in a statement of case under CPR
31.14

On 05 May 2021 I received a County Court claim from yourselves of
which I have acknowledged receipt indicating my intention to
defend in full.

To enable me to file my defence and/or counterclaim, I require
inspection of documents you mention in your statement of case
ahead of filing my defence on 06/12/2020.

In accordance with CPR 31.15(c) I undertake to be responsible for
your reasonable copying costs incurred in complying with this CPR
31.14 request.

You should note that this claim has not yet been allocated to a
specific track and the provisions of CPR 27(2) are of no effect.
Had your claim not been issued through CCBC the Claimant would
have been obliged to attach copies of the documentation upon which
it relies to the Particulars of Claim.

I, as Defendant, am entitled to see the documents on which the
Claimant relies and which you must produce at trial. Disclosure at
this stage will enable me to fully plead my case and further the
Overriding Objective.

You should ensure compliance with your CPR 31 duties and ensure
that the document(s) I have requested are copied to and received
by me within 7 days of receiving this letter.

If you require more time in which to comply with this request you
must tell me in writing and confirm your agreement to an extension
of the time allowed for me to file my defence as allowed under CPR
15.5 so I may notify the court.

For your information and records I enclose a copy of the formal
request for a copy of the credit agreement relating to this claim,
pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974, which has been posted to
your client with the statutory fee of £1 today, xx/xx/xxxx.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

Your Name

Could anyone check this for me please before I reply as my defence ?

[Ryanh]

Or advise for me to add anything please

[ostell]

Why are you thinking of putting your defence in now? You should be just acknowledging the claim for the moment using the details and password on the form, the password that you were advised to delete. Or should I just sign in and admit that the money is owed? Nothing in the defence. This gives you 33 days from the date of issue to get your response to the court.

Please be careful to use a template sensibly, check the dates you are inserting, and when was there CCA for a parking charge?

it's taken a week to respond to the suggestion about CPR request, you will be running out of time

Did you send the SAR request?

[Ryanh]

I’m asking because I don’t clearly understand what I’m doing. What do I do on the log in to reply to the claim

[Ryanh]

As in how do I acknowledge the claim. Because all it does on the log in is start defence and then a box to write it
