MET Parking Services....PCN- AB200317

Hello all.
I have received a court claim form for a PCN back in 2019 that
never existed or got cancelled without my knowledge.
When checking the PCN on their website when I first received the
PCN back in 2019 there were no details shown and still now there
are no details shown as I checked again upon receiving the claim
form so I left it and did not receive any correspondence from
MET Parking Services since until recently dated 23rd October
2023 I get a court claim form.
The vehicle in question was registered at a different address
and the mail has arrived at another address. The address on the
court form is different to the address where the vehicle was
registered to.
Can anybody advise on how to defend this and can the claimant
(MET Parking Services) still claim even though the vehicle was
registered at a different address to what it says on the court
form?
Any help/advice please. Thanks in advance. x

You mention a few issues relating to addresses etc. That the
claim form went to a different address than the vehicle was
registered to does not provide a defence... They've probably
done a trace to find your current address after not receiving
any responses.
Was the vehicle registered to you at the time of the alleged
parking event?
If you haven't already, the first thing you need to do is
acknowledge the claim. If you haven't done this before there's a
useful guide on the MSE Website here -

Then you can start preparing your defence. To help you with this
we'll need more information. As a starting point:
- A copy of the original PCN
- Details of any appeal(s) you sent (did you appeal?)
- Any photos of the site, in particular the signage
- The circumstances of the alleged parking event (in particular
any reasons as to why you don't owe the money claimed)

If the vehicle was registered at a 'different address' and you
didn't service that address (i.e check the mail), small wonder
you've not heard anything! How would MET have known at the time
where you were?
As above, they'll use a tracing agency to find an address and
appear to have succeeded.

When checking the PCN on their website when I first received the
PCN back in 2019 ......
So, you were served with the PCN(which was addressed to your V5C
address at that time); you knew that you did not reside at that
address; you neither updated your V5C nor gave the creditor your
correct address, you just 'left it'.
..is what I read into your first post.
