Received a court claim form for overstaying in a supermarket
carpark
DIR By: DontStandForNonsense
Date: July 24, 2024, 3:09 am
---------------------------------------------------------
We just came back from holiday to find a claim form stating that
we overstayed at a supermarket car park on the 27 of November
last year.
The sum is £262.96! but we received nothing prior to this.
Should I not have received some sort of parking ticket first
with an option to contest it?
My wife regularly visits the site and she usually visits
multiple outlets while there, so it is feasible that she stayed
for over their designated time (not that she would have known
that at the time) - it isn't a site where you need to take a
ticket with a free period. I am sure they will have signs up but
if I am to be honest, neither of us were aware prior to this
that there was a time limit to shopping at the site. There are
no machines to give the option even to extend.
I don't know what the original amount was and this has
definitely put us off shopping at the site in future, but is
there something we can do about it because being slapped with a
£262 charge for staying a little longer at their site while
shopping in there stores seems like madness.
Please help

Without knowing the location of the alleged parking event and
the details of the claim or who the claimant is and whether they
are represented by one of the roboclaim firms of solicitors, it
is going to be nigh on impossible to assist you.
If you want a chance to avoid paying anything to these scammers,
then please follow the advice from [member=103]DWMB2[/member] in
the post above mine!

You need to remove the image of the claim form you posted as it
shows the claim number and your MCOL password. In the meantime,
here is a suitably redacted copy:

With a claim issue date of 12th July, you have until Wednesday
31st July to acknowledge service (AoS) of the claim. There is no
advantage to delaying the AoS. However, by filing the AoS, you
then have until 4pm on Wednesday 14th August to submit your
defence.
You should have a read of the document in the link below on how
to submit your AoS. Do not use the MCOL to submit your defence.
That should be done as a PDF attachment to an email which will
be advised once you have done the AoS.

There is a new "short" defence that should shorten the whole
process and see this either discontinued or struck-out because
the claimant has failed to follow the rules, namely CPR
16.4(1)(a).

Thanks for letting me know. Wasn't aware of that claim form
number needing to be kept private from the forum and I couldn't
see a password anywhere on it?
