Excel parking taking me to court

[Ggarethm]

Hello I am new to this so here is my situation, last May I received a letter fro excel parking, saying that I have to pay a fine for parking to long the usual 1/2 payment if received in so many days but I wasn't driving the vehicle, but i am the registered keeper so I phoned them up told them I wasn't driving that day, they said I must provide details of the driver, I said no I haven't got to do anything I wasn't there, so months went bye I just ignored letters, then I got letter from bw legal trying to collect the money I told them I wasn't driving they said I was liable because I'm the registered keeper so I just ignored there letters four weeks ago I get a letter from Northampton court saying that excel are starting court proceedings, so I filed a little defence saying I was not the driver and the 230 pound they want is rediculous they sent that back to excel, this week I receive a letter saying they still want to proceed, they Sent a letter from the courts now saying can I resolve this in mitigation or do I think court is the way forward any advice please

Unfortunately Excel can hold the registered keeper liable for the sins of the driver under POFA 2012. However they have to follow the requirements exactly. In your case, without a windscreen ticket, paragraph 9 is applicable.

Have you kept any of the paperwork that you were sent, especially the original; letter you received, the Notice to Keeper.

I've not kept any paper work just ignored them I did tell them I wasn't the driver and I have requested all of the paperwork in regards to the court case of them

Can you post up the claim and defence, suitably sanitised ?
