Civil Enforcement Limited court letter. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hfz_uk]

Hi guys,

I got a ticket from Civil Enforcement last year. I have since been following the advice online and have ignored all correspondence and all the dirty tactics they were using by switching names in every letter and their heavily threatening letters. However, now I have what appears to be a genuine County Court Claim from Northampton county council, with what appears to be a genuine seal and claim number (sticker)!

They claim I was parked for 2 hours and 18 minutes in a co-op car park where the limit was 2 hours. I honestly do not know if i was even ever there. I have 4 drivers on my insurance policy (i know, but insurance isn't exactly cheap nowadays is it) and none of them could even remember being there at the time, at the time i felt hard done by and ignored all correspondence from CEL.

What do i do next?? I'm really panicking here. I've read these letters through and they really don't make any sense to me at all. I've got 2 peach letters from the court with one titled ' N1 Claim Form' and the other 'Particulars of Claim'. And also a response pack which has an 'Aknowledgement of service form', a 'Defence and Counterclaim form', and an 'Admission' form.

Pleeeeeaaaseeee help!!!!!! Please let me know if you require more information

Just shout if anything doesn't make sense or you're unsure. Main 2 things, file acknowledgement of service and contact co-op as per advice :okay:

Don't wait forever though you only have about 30 days to file a defence if needed

Sorry if i sound stupid but i have absolutely no idea how i'd form a defence. It would be easier to just pay them but i honestly am so angry at the letters they sent me and the dirty tactics they used that i am willing to fight this all the way. Their is no way a company like that should be allowed to operate as they are

S'ok we can help if it gets that far. Just make sure you come back in about 3 weeks if the other measures don't produce a result. At that time pics of notices and signs would help

Ok, so i emailed Steve Murells but as yet no reply. I also emailed Co-op customer services but received a reply saying they pretty much couldn't do anything. I went back to the car park a few days ago and have noticed they've put these big white signs absolutely everywhere, you can't miss the bloody things! This was not the case a year ago when i received a ticket, i remember their being smaller yellow signs which had smaller print on them that you could not see clearly. Obviously CEL has lost quite a few cases and they seem to be getting wiser.

I haven't as yet sent back the acknowledgment of service form, i have just under a week to send it back before the 2 week time period ends. I want to spend the next few days putting my defence together just to make sure i even have a defense before i choose to do this. Could you please help me put my defense together? I honestly do not know where to start.

Hi
I received a letter from CEL today via recorded delivery to say they are withdrawing their case against me!!!.:dance::cheer2:
I will be contacting the court shortly to make sure this is definitely the case and get some sort of written confirmation.

Thank you for your help, i really appreciate it! I must say i have been really stressed about it all and was dreading going to court however i felt i had to stand up against a company that bullies, lies and harasses people to take money off them.

I would suggest that everybody fight these illegitimate fraudsters. My battle against this thieving company has only just begun.
