Directions Questionnaire from CSB Law received via email, They’ve asked for Claim to be heard on Papers only Options

Hi All

My partner (the registered keeper) received a Court Claim Form today for a PCN issued on 30 June 2017 by CSB Solicitors/London Parking Solutions for parking outside our flat whilst bringing shopping in. I have included the Particulars of Claim paragraph below.

No PCN sticker was stuck on the windscreen at the time of the offence, but she received a letter in the post from London Parking Solutions in August chasing payment (indicating that London Parking Solutions obtained registered keeper details from the DVLA within 30 days as she is registered keeper). She ignored the letter as she knew it wasn't a real PCN but presented me with a copy of the Claim Form from Court today.

She did not make any contact with London Parking Solutions, no calls, emails, letters etc - she simply ignored the letter.

Can someone please provide some advice please? Whats the best course of action for defending this?

My partner is registered disabled/Blue Badge holder if it helps?

Many thanks,
