@Rosa23, yes, assuming ParkingEye received the email on Wednesday 14 October, the seven-working-day deadline expires on Friday 23 October 2026. One qualification: 23 October is the correct deadline only if the email was received on 14 October. If it was received on 15 October, the seventh working day would be Monday 26 October.
If ParkingEye does not respond satisfactorily by then, we should proceed with the contested N244 application to set aside the default judgment. There is no need to give them any further extensions.
In the meantime, the priority is to prepare the evidence supporting that application, so that we are ready to proceed without further delay. The most important evidence is documentary proof that you had moved from 19 Crisp Road, London W6 9RL in April 2026, approximately three months before ParkingEye issued proceedings on 6 July 2026.
Suitable evidence would include a tenancy agreement for the new address, council tax records, utility bills or other official documents confirming the change of residence. Ideally, we want evidence establishing the actual moving date.
Please also retain the DCBL letter dated 30 September 2026, together with any evidence establishing when it was received. This is important because it demonstrates when you first discovered the judgment and how promptly they acted afterwards.
You will also need copies of the original claim form and default judgment from CNBC, the CCJ Register entry and the correspondence sent to ParkingEye requesting consent to the set-aside.
The N244 application will need to be supported by a witness statement and a draft order. We can prepare those documents once the evidence has been gathered.
The principal application will be under CPR 13.2 on the grounds of defective service, with CPR 13.3 relied upon in the alternative if necessary.
Please continue gathering the evidence and let me know as soon as ParkingEye responds, or when the deadline expires if there has been no response.
Do not pay DCBL anything. Our objective remains to have the default judgment set aside and removed from the Register.
