Court claim for private parking charge

[Amiac23]

I have received a court claim for a private parking charge notification.
I have filed an acknowledgment 7 days outside of the issue date. I understand the next step would be to send an SAR to parking company and a document to their legal representative.
Is there a template or any further advice available for sending both of these please? Many thanks.

SAR to parking company
CPR31.14 to Legal representative

templates in SHORTCUTS panel on right of this page
They were designed for Consumer Credit cases and need modifying for your circumstances

In the CPR request you will require copies of documentation they intend to rely on, in particular a copy of the contract between parking company and land owner/occupier and photos of relevant parking signs (the alleged contract between driver & parking company) and a copy of the notice to Keeper

Do not identify the driver

des8 Thank you. Am I to include this section on CPR?

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’m not sure I understand this bit. Thanks!

[Amiac23]

Also, do I need to include date I will file the defence? And then stick to that date?

That bit is for debt claims under the Consumer Credit Act and should not be included by you

No need to tell them when the defence will be filed.
They will know it has to be within 35 days of issue date

[Amiac23]

Des-8 tha m you so much. Just preparing both now. Do I need to list anything specific for the SAR? Or just put my name and address.

[Amiac23]

Des-8 can the SAR and CPR31.14 both be emailed to receipients?

[Huxie]

Just a heads-up, you’ve tagged a different person (Des-8), it should be des8
