Highview parking DCBL Legal Court Claim form

[Lrm84]

Hi,
Im a contractor that works across the uk on Tesco sites.
Back in July 2018 there was one in swansea and the car park is controlled by highview.
I put in my registration on the computer in tesco itself to have a permit to park there.
I then had a ticket through the post saying i had a fine for overstaying in the car park.
I wrote back to them to explain the situation above. I heard nothing back and could only assume they had checked it and all was ok.
Ive moved house inbetween two times and always had access to the old addresses for mail and also had mail re directions in.
I updated my driving licence and log book addresses throughout.
Now 3 years later ive had a redirected letter to my new house. Its a court claim form.
wanting £265 from me.

With my job i have to do what we call a sign off on completion of the work and i have gone through archive and found the photos taken which prove i was working in tesco that day/night. But no proof of putting my registration in the computer.
Can anyone tell me where i stand with this, should i contest it?

Get Tescos to confirm that you were contracting and the charge should be cancelled.

Have you still got the original paperwork? Post it up or If not SAR to Highview

CPR 31.14 request to DCBL for the PCN and copies of the signage that created the contract

I don’t have any paper work as its 3 years ago and thought it was all done. What i do have is photos of my name in tescos signing in book and their permit to works book on the date i was parked there.
Will this be enough to defend my case in court do you think.
Do i need to send the court claim form back defending my case?
New to this and the forms arent very clear to me.
Thank you for your help.

You need to defend the case otherwise it will be a default win. Acknowledge the claim online using the details and password on the form on day 5 after the issue date or shortly afterwards. Nothing in the defence. This gives you 33 days from the issue date to get the defence to the court.

Those documents will help but see if you can get Tesco to cancel.
