  • Claim form from County Court

    Hi,

    I received a claim form in the post about a parking contravention from 2019. I actually wasn't the driver at the time so I went on to bin the letters that i received, the person is now living abroad and i'm not actually in contact with them. I havent kept any of the letters that i received from DCB legal ltd,(debt collection) the contravention happened in a UKPC car park i havent even seen photos of this as when i received the following letters i went on to bin them. Not actually thinking that four years later they would send a claim form from the county court. I am planning on defending this, so wasn't sure if the defence that i wast the driver is applicable or if i need to start from the top i.e requesting pictures and that the offence actually took place.

    what should i do ?

        point to note - my parking offence was in Scotland at the time the vehicle would have been registered to an address up there, however i have now moved to england, and the letter of claim was sent to my address in England. Should i contest jurisdiction while doing the acknowledgement of service ?

          Hi mate what was the outcome? Generally appeal against the courts and see there but if you don't or ignore them you become guilty. I'm in a similar situation myself.
