Hey all,
This morning I've received a claim form from the county court business center. I ignore previous letters as per the general advise, so I was not expecting a letter for a CCJ.
Last year, I over staying the allowed parking time in the Wickes car park in Slough, I was genuinely in Wickes buying all the supplies to build a raised deck in my garden, this included waiting on Wickes staff to a crates of decking - I don't have the receipt but I do have a bank statement of spending over £500 that day in a single transaction.
It seems like the courts ruled that over staying can be charged if it's a fair charge, should I just pay up, or fight this in court? If I pay now, do I still have a CCJ against my name?
I almost certainly do not have any previous letters, I think I got 2 and threw them out. The amount claimed is £173.40 + £35 court fee + £50 legal fees, totaling £258.40
