County court claim over ibis parking for 19 minutes! £260

[Guest]

Hi guys
I need some help please!

I have been receiving letters from civil enforcement ltd since 26/12/2018 where my vehicle was in the ibis car park for 19 minutes due to my son getting sick (it was just off the motor way) I have ignored every letter. The last latter I got was 2 weeks ago with a reduce rate of £75.00 if I paid in 14 days ... today I received a claim form from county court business centre for a total of £246.40!!

I need advice ASAP

So acknowledge the claim NOW but put nothing in the defence, nothing. This gives you 33 days from date of issue to get your deence to the court.

Do you have any documents at all?

[Bettyboo7]

Thanks for your reply .... what documents would you be referring to?

[Bettyboo7]

I’m really worried about getting a ccj.... what happens if I put a defence in and loose?

[ostell]

The documents that you received from CEL.

You need those documents to be able to at least build a defence.

If you haven't got them then SAR to CEL and a letter to the solicitor requesting, in order to narrow the issues between you as expected by the courts, copies of all the documents that they intend to use in court. As they must have these documents to hand in order to raise the claim then you expect them by return and in any case within 7 days.

IF you lose then IF you don't pay within a month THEN, and only then, will you get a CCJ recorded against you.

I have completed the acknowledgement of service page but I am unsure which box to tick:
1- I intend to defend all of this claim
2-I intend to defend part of this claim
3- I intend to contest jurisdiction
????

[Bettyboo7]

Ostell thanks for responding

I have no documents but one letter I didn’t throw away from a debt collector... what is a SAR?

[Bettyboo7]

Can anyone help with the posted questions I have never had this before and really don’t know what to do

2-I intend to defend part of this claim
3- I intend to contest jurisdiction

Just "1- I intend to defend all of this claim"

Don't put anything further in - you're just acknowledging for now - to give you the full 33 days to file your defence.

SAR is https://legalbeagles.info/library/gu...ccess-request/

It is a request for all data held by the company relating to you as an individual which they must provide copies of and request within 30 days.

[Bettyboo7]

Thank you. I will post acknowledgment first thing Monday morning and request the documentation.

[ostell]

Does the form not give the details and password to acknowledge online?

[Bettyboo7]

Hi I have realised I can do it online .... thanks I’ll do it today.
I have to SAR to CEL and a letter to the solicitor requesting info ASAP.
Ill post an update once this arrives
thanks
