I've got myself into a right mess. I've been going through a lot lately (mental health, caring for disabled dc, abusive ex) and have stuck my head in the sand and not dealt with it. Last year I received a parking fine. The photos showed my car parked in the car park, then a completely different car exiting the car park. I appealed on the grounds that it wasn't my car, and the company replied back with more photos that did show my car leaving the car park.
The fine rose to £170 which I couldn't afford to pay. I tried to contact the company with a payment plan but there is no way whatsoever to contact this company. The only contact is through the appeal section on the website, but when I enter my PCN number it says the time to appeal this has passed. They then sent through a CCJ for £280. I replied to it with an offer of £100 a month but stupidly missed the 30 day deadline. The CCJ is now in place and it goes to enforcement.
My question is, should I try to get the CCJ set aside on the grounds of poor mental health/unable to deal with it, or just wait for the baliffs and offer a payment plan? I fully accept its all my fault and if theres no way to fix it I'll just have to suck it up.
