For court claims, it also checks whether earlier notices were validly served.
Should I pay a Countrywide Parking Management county court claim defence straight away?
Do not ignore a Countrywide Parking Management court claim, but do not assume the claim is valid either. Many Countrywide Parking Management court claims contain weaknesses in the underlying parking charge. Check for defects before you decide whether to pay, settle, or defend.
