Hi guys. Hope you're well. Appreciate what you all do. Please help me with this CEL PCN!
I am thinking of arguing grounds:
1. Inadequate information provided
2. It was 2 years ago and I only just received CCJ
This case concerns a Parking Charge Notice (private parking firm) issued by Civil Enforcement Ltd, relating to an alleged contravention on Saturday, 01 June 2024. The notice itself is dated Thursday, 27 November 2025, and I first became aware of it via first aware via letter of claim.
The notice appears to have been issued as By post (ANPR/camera). Driver identified status: NO. Equality Act considerations: No. The location is stated as Malcom X Community Centre, Bristol.
A preliminary Protection of Freedoms Act (PoFA) assessment indicates NON_COMPLIANT: Likely outside PoFA paragraph 9 timing window. Route applied: PoFA paragraph 9 (postal NtK, no windscreen NtD). The notice is treated as given on Monday, 01 December 2025 (548 days after the alleged event). On this basis, keeper liability may not be established.
Current stage:
- Notice responded to: No
- Debt recovery letters: Yes
- Letter of Claim: Yes
- County Court claim: Yes
- Letter of Claim responded to: No
- Letter of Claim source: Operator's own legal department
- Operator legal team: Civil Enforcement Ltd (in-house legal)
County Court claim deadlines: issue date Wednesday, 06 May 2026, deemed service Monday, 11 May 2026, AoS deadline 4pm Tuesday, 26 May 2026, defence deadline without AoS 4pm Tuesday, 26 May 2026, and defence deadline with AoS 4pm Monday, 08 June 2026.
Additional notes provided:
I have spoken to the land owner and asked them to provide a letter asking for enforcement of PCN to be dropped - I am awaiting a response ( I am the registered keeper but have since sold the car changing the owner and moved address. The LBA does not state the alleged exact offence but it may be alleged at some point that the parking camera caught the driver allegedly overstaying with a purchased ticket. It was so long ago that it is difficult to remember the details of the event.
Please can I have advice on the strongest next steps and defence points for this case.
@b789 your expert advice would be hugely valued, would love to give CEL both barrels in court
