In 2017 I unfortunately made use of the parking facilities at Urban Exchange M4 Manchester and despite spending money in their shops I overstayed my welcome by 17 minutes and now they want more money for the privilege. The car park there at Urban Exchange is managed by Highview Parking Limited. They state that 1 hour is free and up to 2 hours must be authorised by the shops themselfs. Their ANPR says I was in the car park for 1 hour and 17 minutes. There are a few posts online about how difficult it is to get the shops to authorise the parking and it really isn't clear at all how the system works.
Now a few years have passed and I no longer own the vehicle and I no longer live at the registered keepers address.
In december 2021 they entered a CCJ against me and won by default, I did not receive any paperwork as I was no longer at the address they had on file. I noticed the CCJ appear on my credit file some months later.
Particulars of Claim:

1st of April 2022 - I submitted an N244 as soon as I was aware of the CCJ on the stating:
Set Judgment Aside - I do not live at the service address and have received no claim forms from the court. I received no pre court documents from the claimant and I do not know who the claimant is. The first I heard about this is finding the judgement on my credit file. Further to this I have been in hospital with a serious illness for some months and this combination of an incorrect address and illness has made it impossible for me to reply in time. I deny that any money is owed to the claimant and will defend the case against my name. To enter a full defence I need to gather further information. Once the claimants details have been provided to me I will contact them directly to resolve this matter hopefully without wasting any further time of the courts.
I have received confirmation from the court that the hearing is to be heard on the 31st of May 2022
I have received a witness statement from DCBL Ltd on behalf of Highview Parking Ltd that I will attach here.

I am wondering how to proceed now and would be grateful for any help or advice offered.
