I know there are plenty of threads about this company (and others like it) and the tickets they issue, but this time they appear to have taken it a step further and issued me with a CCJ. Background - JJB had just gone into administration (Sept 2012) so a few weeks after I went to our local store to see if I could grab a bargain. It was on a Saturday and the JJB Store is on a retail park with various other outlets. Needless to say it was manic and I think a lot of people had the same idea as us, we spent over 2 hours in the store trawling through everything and we also went to a couple of other stores. When it was time to leave the car park to nose to tail with cars and not much was moving, it took us 10 mins just to get out of the car parking space and a great deal of time to get out of the car park itself. Didn't think much of it but a few weeks after we received the PCN saying we had stayed in the car park for 3hrs 30mins, half an hour over the limit, they knew this because there are ANPR cameras at the entrance/exit of the car park. After researching on the internet everywhere said just ignore the PCN and any further letters and it will go away, which I did, the final one threating court was back in December but heard nothing until a few days ago when a CCJ came through asking for £350. I plan to go against the claim but would just like to get some advice on the best way about it, is the fact that the traffic was so bad a valid excuse. The only thing I am worried about is getting something on my record as I am re-mortgaging in a few months and also looking to buy a business in the next year or so which could mean trying to get a loan. I don't want this to have an affect on it.

Re: Civil enforcement limited taking me to court
You say you have a CCJ, have you checked your Credit File to see if this is true? What paperwork exactly have you received from the Court? I do find it strange that they have written to you previously but all Court paperwork has seemingly not arrived! -
Re: Civil enforcement limited taking me to court
Apologies, I was maybe wrong in saying that it was a CCJ. I have received the N1 Claim form with all the relevant forms to respond.Comment
