Hi,
I am new to the forum and in need of urgent help, following receipt of a ‘Judgement for claimant (in default)’ In the county court Money Claims Centre’. This was dated 05/11/14 and stated I must pay the claimant £130.96 for debt (and interest to date of Judgment) and £35 costs = £165.96. Stating I had not responded to the claim form. Originally I had been ignoring the notices from Civil Enforcement as per generic advice and I did receive the claim form but was misplaced in the house until searching when received judgement.
The background to this is receiving a ‘Parking Enforcement Notice’ 27/09/12 from Civil Enforcement. After parking in the Elland COOP (HX5 0EE) car park 15/09/2012 from 20:24 to 22:58 (2hr 34mins >34mins over max there maximum), after shopping at the store and then going for a meal (store closes at 22:00). Notice for £90, but reduced to £45 if paid in 14 days. Then correspondence as follows:-
19/10/12 – ‘Parking Contravention Enforcement notice’ – ‘Final reminder before legal action’. Amount due £90 to be paid in 7 days or may issue an immediate county court summons against you.
24/01/13 – Letter from ‘Debt Recovery Plus Ltd, acting on behalf of Civil Enforcement. Stating outstanding amount of £140 must be paid in 7days.
04/02/2013 – 2nd Letter from ‘Debt Recovery Plus Ltd, ‘Notice of intended litigation’. Stating outstanding amount of £140 must be paid in 7days.
13/02/14 – 3rd letter from ‘Debt Recovery Plus Ltd,, ‘ Reduced payment offer’. Stating reduced payment offer of £140 would be accepted by their client providing paid in 7days.
24/09/14 – N1 claim form received in the Northampton County court. For amount claimed £130 + £35 court fee.
I really don’t want to have to pay these people, for such a minor infringement, being late at night and the way I have been harassed + others as I have read up on. However I don’t want my credit report to be affected and will pay as last resort.
Any help greatly appreciated. I have all the documents and can attach or send if needed.
