Remove a Parking CCJ

If you have discovered a County Court Judgment (CCJ) for a parking charge, it may still be possible to have it set aside and removed.

CCJ Set Aside Application Using Form N244

A successful set aside removes the CCJ from your credit file and returns the case to the correct stage so it can be defended properly.

At Parking Mate UK, we prepare and manage parking CCJ set aside applications, ensuring the correct legal route is used and the application is presented properly to the court.

A parking CCJ is commonly issued because:

  • The court claim was sent to an old or incorrect address

  • You never received the claim form

  • You were unable to respond in time

  • The claim escalated without your knowledge

If the court grants the application, the judgment is set aside, enforcement stops, and the case is reopened.

This is a discretionary court process and must be handled correctly.

There are two main routes to removing a parking CCJ.

N244 Set Aside Application

Used where the judgment is disputed or you did not receive the claim.

This requires:

  • A formal N244 application

  • A witness statement

  • Evidence showing why the judgment should be set aside

  • Demonstrating a real prospect of defending the claim

Consent Order

Used where the claimant agrees to set aside the judgment, usually after payment.

This route:

  • Requires agreement from the claimant

  • Avoids contested hearings

  • Still requires correct legal drafting

We assess which route is appropriate before preparing any documents.

Court fees are payable separately and depend on the type of application.

Current fees are:

  • N244 by consent or without notice: £123

  • N244 application on notice: £313

The correct fee depends on whether the claimant consents and how the application is issued. Using the wrong route can delay or invalidate the application.

Remove the CCJ

If granted, the judgment is removed from your credit file.

Restore Your Defence Rights

The claim is returned to the defence stage so it can be challenged properly.

Stop Enforcement

A successful set aside prevents or halts enforcement action.

If both parties agree to set aside the judgement, then the process can be less than 6 months.

However, it depends on how busy your selected court is as a set aside application needs to be decided by a judge.

CCJ Set Aside Checklist

Before applying, the following must be assessed carefully.

1

Reason for Default

Was the judgment entered because you did not receive the claim or could not respond?

 

2

Prompt Action

Applications must be made promptly after discovering the CCJ. Delays can result in refusal, even where grounds exist.

3

Merit of Defence

You must show a real prospect of defending the original parking claim. Not receiving paperwork alone is not a defence.

If any of these elements are weak or missing, the application may fail.

Parking Court Claim FAQ

In most cases, no.

Many parking claims are discontinued before a hearing once a robust defence is filed. If a hearing is required, we provide clear guidance on what to expect and how to prepare.

If you lose, the court will order payment of the judgment amount.

As long as you pay within 30 days, no CCJ is recorded on your credit file. We also advise on minimising costs and next steps if needed.

Yes. We assist with:

  • Judgment review

  • Set-aside applications

  • Enforcement challenges

However, these applications are discretionary and require strong legal grounds. Early intervention is always better.

In many cases, yes.

Parking court claims often include inflated and unlawful charges. Defending can:

  • Eliminate the claim entirely

  • Reduce the amount payable

  • Prevent future enforcement issues

Paying without challenge can encourage further claims.

Immediately after receiving a court claim.

The earlier we act:

  • The more options you have

  • The stronger your defence can be

  • The lower the risk of procedural errors
