Hi. Where to start! I originally received a PCN from Civil enforcement on 20th may 2014 claiming a parking infringement on a co-op car park on 23rd oct 2010! I wrote back on 22nd may stating I was appealing the claim stating
1. The vehicle was not improperly parked
2. The Parking Charge exceeded the appropriate amount
3. I am not liable for the charge.
I told them I would not be entering into any more correspondence or giving them any more details and told them to either cancel the invoice or refuse my appeal withing 35 days of this letter. If my appeal was refused I asked them to provide me with a POPLA appeals code as per the BPA code of practice section 22.8 within the 35 days.Ii received no such reply and considered the matter closed. Then, on the 26th sept 2014 i received, along with I believe about 2000 other people, a Claim form from Northampton County Court. I again wrote to CEL quoting my letter of the 22nd may 2014 re the appeal and the fact that i had not heard from them within the 35days. I asked them to respond or I would use the letters in my court claim. Needless to say I heard nothing from them. I filed an `Acknowledgment of Service with the CCMC In Salford stating my reply to their nine point claim PLUS my non reply from CEL regarding my letter to them of the 22nd may and my follow up letter of the 26th Sept 2014. I have now received a letter from the CCMCC sayin mMy case is suitable for a small claims track. My question is, should I go down this route or leave it for a Judge to sort out, (should CEL allow it to go that far!)
