County court judgment for a National Parking Management charge? Check whether it can be set aside

This affects your credit record, but it may be possible to have it set aside if you did not receive the original claim.

You can apply to set aside a county court judgment at any time, though the sooner you act the better. If you did not receive the original National Parking Management court claim, you must show the court that you have a real prospect of defending the case.
