I wasn't looking to cause any offence, I only tagged them as
they've been the consistent person supporting me since I first
came onto the forum. This is the first time since moving to the
UK that I've had this type of instance happen to me so any and
all advice is welcome, now that I have a claim form, it's
getting more serious and causing myself anxiety as I don't know
what to do for next steps and I've got a deadline to get support
and respond.
I don't even own the car anymore since the offence.

Apologies for following up but I'm bumping just because I'm
conscious of timelines as I have 14 days and the letter was
dated the 9th of February. Could someone please advise what I
should be doing as next steps and actions please?
Any and all support would be greatly appreciated.

There's a suggested defence in this thread:
HTML https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/help-needed-with-filling-the-court-form/
However, you will need to tweak it a bit based on Moorside's
Particulars of Claim, and to highlight that there is no keep
liability.

Thanks very much for the response, just for clarity, can I ask
if this is what you were referring to in terms of defence?:
"1. The Defendant denies that they are liable for the entirety
of the claim.
2. The Particulars of Claim are vague and fail to provide
sufficient details of the alleged breach. The Claimant has not
specified the contractual terms that were allegedly breached,
nor provided evidence of signage, photographs, or a copy of any
contract. The claim therefore fails to comply with Civil
Procedure Rule 16.4 and should be struck out.
3. It is denied that the Defendant was the driver on the
material date. The Claimant has failed to identify the driver
and has not complied with the strict requirements of Schedule 4
of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (PoFA) in order to
transfer liability from the driver to the keeper. In the absence
of such compliance, the Defendant as registered keeper cannot be
held liable.
4. The Defendant puts the Claimant to strict proof that:
a. A valid and binding contract existed with the driver.
b. The signage was adequate, visible, and capable of forming a
contract.
c. The Claimant had authority from the landowner to issue
Parking Charge Notices (PCNs) and to bring legal proceedings.
5. The Defendant further denies that the £100 charge represents
a genuine pre-estimate of loss or a proportionate charge. It is
an unenforceable penalty and unfair under the Consumer Rights
Act 2015.
6. The additional sum of £60.00 contractual costs is an abuse of
process.
In Southampton (Claim No. F0DP201T, 11/07/2019, HHJ Taylor), the
court ruled that such added sums were unlawful, struck out
claims, and held that adding debt collection costs was an abuse.
In Gloucester (Claim No. G4QZ465V, 21/06/2021, HHJ Murch), the
judge again ruled that the £60 add-on was an abuse and struck it
out.
These judgments make clear that such charges constitute unlawful
double recovery, since all costs of collection are already
factored into the parking company’s business model and the £100
PCN.
7. The Defendant disputes the Claimant’s entitlement to
statutory interest under s69 of the County Courts Act 1984,
given that no valid debt exists."
If this is the material for me to use, I do feel like I may have
a minor issue. In terms of that defence, there's a couple of
points in which I won't be able to include...Whilst I asked for
the agreement between client and landowner, I received an email
response from Moorside with "Site Entrance" where it highlights
signage etc As their email on the 27th of November included one
of these pdf's outlining it, can I still use this section?:
"2. The Particulars of Claim are vague and fail to provide
sufficient details of the alleged breach. The Claimant has not
specified the contractual terms that were allegedly breached,
nor provided evidence of signage, photographs, or a copy of any
contract. The claim therefore fails to comply with Civil
Procedure Rule 16.4 and should be struck out."
Also, in the early parts of this thread, I've made an admission
to being in the car, not necessarily said "I drove"- but don't
know if this will impact the overall defence claim, should I
also include paragraph 3?
I'm sorry for the questions, first and hopefully last time I
face this type of issue and I'm keen to ensure I'm following
correct steps/guidance

If you were the driver, you cannot say in your defence that you
were not.
Re. PoFA, wording along these lines might help:
--- Quote ---
> It is admitted that the Defendant is the registered keeper of
the vehicle but liability is denied. It is denied that the
Defendant is liable as the registered keeper pursuant to
Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (PoFA). The
parking of vehicles on the land in question is governed by the
Birmingham Airport Byelaws 2021. Accordingly, the land does not
meet the definition of "relevant land" as defined by PoFA,
meaning the Claimant may not rely on PoFA to recover any charges
from the Defendant as the keeper of the vehicle.

Ok, so just for clarity as I want to ensure that I'm fulfilling
this correctly.
Am I using the 7 points as per the original statement, remove
paragraph 2 completely and replace paragraph 3 with what you've
mentioned above:
"It is admitted that the Defendant is the registered keeper of
the vehicle but liability is denied. It is denied that the
Defendant is liable as the registered keeper pursuant to
Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (PoFA). The
parking of vehicles on the land in question is governed by the
Birmingham Airport Byelaws 2021. Accordingly, the land does not
meet the definition of "relevant land" as defined by PoFA,
meaning the Claimant may not rely on PoFA to recover any charges
from the Defendant as the keeper of the vehicle."
Sorry for asking again but just want to ensure correct.
Thanks again.

Hi all,
So I'm currently trying to defend my claim online and I'm unable
to log in with the "Claim No" and "Password" that is provided on
the claim form? Is this a commonality, and if so, what is the
best course of action?

You should contact the court.
You didn’t obscure these details when you posted the claim form
earlier, so it’s possible that someone has used them and changed
things.

Thank you, I'll call them now as I believe I have until the 28th
of February to submit a defence claim.
As for not obscuring the details, I didn't think that on this
type of forum, someone may look to do that...clearly another
lesson learnt.
Thanks again for your advice, really appreciate it

Hi all,
Thank you for all the advice given to me to date. I received
this email last week and would be keen to know what are the next
best steps to take? They've also included in their email an
attachment for a CT Form- N180.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated
