recieved a claim form for a parking ticket from parking outside
a pub in 2023

Hello, i have a claim form from a parking charge i got almost 3
years ago. i vaguely remember the details, i was visiting a
friend and parked at the pub car park for just under an hour.
When i received the parking charge my friend told me i shouldn't
pay it as the pub wont peruse the ticket. I think i received a
few other letters regarding it which i stupidly ignored and got
the claim form a couple weeks ago. After browsing through this
forum for a while i am now realizing this wont go away and i am
trying to deal with it in the best way possible as the charge
has gone up significantly with all the fees they have added on.
I can't remember exactly because it was so long ago but i don't
remember seeing any signs on the car park saying i had to pay
and this was at 9pm at night during winter so it was pretty dark
and also most car parks in my area are free at that time.
The claim form says "Claim for money relating to a Parking
Charge for breaching of contract terms/conditions for parking in
private car park managed by claimant. Drivers may only park
pursuant to TCs of use displayed in CP and agreed upon
entry/parking. ANPR cameras or manual patrols monitor vehicles
entering/exiting the CP and breaches". The original ticket was
during winter of 2023
I have logged into the MCOL system and acknowledge service of
the claim although it is worth mentioning that due to my poor
timing i have done it the day after the final day of the 14 day
window. not sure if that affects anything but ill add it just
incase.
Please anyone with any advice on how to proceed and what would
be the best steps. I am currently in the process of moving out
due to some family issues and really cannot afford the extra
pressure of a massive parking fine even though it is my fault
for ignoring all the parking charge letters. Thanks in advance
for any advice.

You have gone overboard and obscured more than this.
Especially the dates.

important context, the notices may contain/omit details that can
be used to help you successfully fight the charge. Upload photos
of any and all notices you have received from the parking
company. You should show us all pages of the notice(s), remove
personal details (name/address, PCN reference number, Vehicle
Registration Mark), but show us all dates and times. Details

You only know these - you have 14+5 days from the date on the
form which you obscured to file a defence or Acknowledgement of
Service. If you file AoS you have a further 14 days to file a
defence.
