Parking charge notice

[MrsP52]

Is it necessary to respond at the point when a County Court Business Centre makes contact? So far ignored all of the demands since notice issued in April 2018. Now looks more legal but not sure how to take it?
The charge was made after parking in front of locked heavy steel gates for 5 mins when all marked parking bays were full. The signage on the gates was at least 8-9 feet above ground level and no one was attempting to exit the gates. Indeed I doubt they were used regularly as the ground in front was sloped and grassy ie not concrete like the car park. I came back to the vehicle as the notice was being written but pleading with the guy made no difference as he said his ‘boss is sitting over there’!
the original charge as stated on the signage was £60 but the demand is for £185 (court fee of £25). Any advice for next steps please?

Yes, unless you want a CCJ against you for 6 years.

Is it a N1 form from the Northampton County Court Business Centre ?

Could you type out the Particulars of claim please, and say who the claimant, and solicitors are that are bringing the claim pls.

You need to log in on Moneyclaim online if you can and acknowledge the claim to buy yourself more time to deal with it ( acknoweldge with intent to defend in full extends the time to deal with it to 33 days from the date of issue )

Once you've got the other info on here I'll move your thread to the right forum for deal with Parking court claims.
