Court claim form....what to do?
Hi,
I have foibles a court claim form in the post today. I have been away from home for almost a month.
The date of issue was the 8th Feb. I have missed thr date of acknowledgement, as only recoved it today. (7th March)
I went online to register it anyway via the portal in the hopes that they won't make a judgement in my absence and stated that I wished to defend the claim.
The claim relates to a parking ticket issues in 2018, for parking in the space in the underground car park of my apartment. The space is mine under my lease (I am the leaseholder) I pay for the parking each year and I also have a valid parking permit. I have lived at the proerty and parked there for 10 years.
On one occasion, I found a yellow ticket on my car. Ir said there was no valid permit but there was no evidence of thos, just evidence that my car was parked there
When I checked the permit has become faded and worn. I contacted my managing agent to ask that the ticket be cancelled (as it is my space! And requested a new parking permit disk, which I had to pay for)
I understood the ticket (30/11/2018) to have been cancelled and took no further action.
Some letter did arrive but I ignored them. I was quite angry at the ridiculous nature of the situation, to be fined for using my own space.
After a while, threatening letters came from a different company. I assumed it was q scam or that theu debt had been sold on unscrupulous to another debt collectors and continued to ignore.
I now have to defend myself for the court claim.
My question is where do I start with this?
Also, can I ask for extra time to prepare this as I have only just received the claim form?
Is it worth contacting DCB legal?
They ate now requesting £289 pounds and I have rhe threat of a CCJ.
The parking ticket was always unfairly issued.
