       N1sdt form DCB Legal eurocarparks
   DIR By: David29386

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Hi all,
       I got this letter and obviously it looks very serious. I was
       absolutely anxious but then did a lot of research and I think
       I'm somewhat certain of what to do next but need specific advice
       please? Apologies if I'm repeating what others already have.
       Long story short, I don't remember the circumstances surrounding
       the ticket and I am fairly certain that day the car park machine
       wasn't working and the guy told me to leave a note.
       Unfortunately I don't have any evidence. I'm sure I was there
       less than 1 hour so about £2.50. I ignored all of the other
       letters which i probably shouldn't have.
       From what I'm reading, most likely this would be discontinued
       but I want to fight it even if it goes to court because well,
       why not? I'm already being asked to pay an extortionate fee.
       Part of the reason why my memory of this is a blur is because it
       was during covid time. I lost my father at the time and I really
       was all over the place.
       I also changed car so that vehicle no longer belongs to me (not
       that it matters.
       Am I correct in assuming I just complete the AoS form only?
       Should I post it? Email it?

       Neither. The form includes instructions on registering for the
       online service (MCOL) - on there you can acknowledge service
       online. There's a guide to doing so here:

       Once you have done that let us know and we can advise on
       defence.

       With an issue date of 6th February, you have until 4pm Tuesday
       25th February to submit your defence. If you submit an AoS
       before that date, you would then have until 4pm on Tuesday 11th
       March to submit your defence.
       Here is the defence and link to the draft order that goes with
       it. You only need to edit your name and the claim number. You
       sign the defence by typing your full name for the signature and
       date it. There is nothing to edit in the draft order.
       When you're ready you send both documents as PDF attachments in
       an email to claimresponses.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and CC in
       yourself. The claim number must be in the email subject field
       and in the body of the email just put: "Please find attached the
       defence and draft order in the matter of Euro Car Parks Ltd v
       [your full name] Claim no.: [claim number]."

       Thank you very much.
       So I've submitted the AoS for more time. See attached.
       I will submit the defence next week based on your post. Once
       again thank you.
       Also, am I correct in not ticking the i intend to contest
       jurisdiction? I read somewhere this needs to not be ticked.

       Do you reside in Scotland? If not then you do not need to
       contest jurisdiction.
       Why are you filling out the paper AoS? DO to touch the forms
       that came with the claim. You should be following the
       instructions on how to submit the AoS, if you need to submit
       one, otherwise, you simply submit the Defence as provided with
       the instructions.
       Everything is done electronically. Do not use paper forms for
       anything. AoS by MCOL... if you need extra time, otherwise the
       defence is sent by email.

       Hi there.
       Sorry i didn't make it clear. I did the AoS it online. That's
       the pdf it gave me at the end of the process.
       I will submit the defence online also as advised.
       Thanks appreciate it

       Quick question, the defence draft order you added, which stage
       would that be used? I get the defence statement template bit but
       not the draft order attached. Sorry for asking a silly question.
