DEAL Court Claim

I have attached my Claim From from DEAL and was wondering whether the same standard defence is appropriate to me as I've read on other threads. The only difference I suppose is that this is a company vehicle driven by several different people and the identity of the driver is not known at the time of the parking incident (if there was one). I have acknowledged service which gives me until 25 Dec 2014 to enter a defence (the form is stamped with DATE OF SERVICE 27 NOV 2014). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.DEAL.pdf

DEAL Court Claim

Good Afternoon,



I have been sent a CCMC claim form for what I can gather is an overstay at my local Co-op, The amount is £215 (this seems standard from what I've read over the past few days). Yep - signed by this M. Shwarts chap.



It was only by chance that we got these papers as we've recently moved house.



I don't recollect receiving anything before this - I may have and ignored at the time, or in my usual un-organised fashion put it somewhere safe unopened :)



The particulars state the 26 Oct 2012 20:08 - 23:25



We vaguely remember this as we had a flat tyre on the car after shopping there. During this time the store had shut so we would have thought it'd be ok anyway so left it at that.



I've sent numerous emails to Steve murrells (to complain as we shop there weekly) with no reply and also calls to the customer care line who have stated today can't help.



The court say its genuine and if I acknowledge the service my defence must be in before Christmas day of all days.



The date of service was 27th November - I am yet to acknowledge as I was going to fold today and pay it but after the last call from the co-op this morning, they've rubbed me up the wrong way so I want to defend it.



I'd rather pay someone to help with the defence now, than pay it.



I've noticed a standard defence form kicking around over the past couple of days, would this be sufficient for me too? http://ift.tt/1ypLJ1i



Apologies for the lack of detail - I'm on my lunch break.



I've attached the particulars and also a recent (yesterday) photograph of the sign-age.



Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks for your time





Liam
