Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi all, thought I'd share an update on this case.
So I was due to go and defend myself in court tomorrow 28th March. I received an email from DCBLegal offering a settlement of £35. Initial claim now at £315.

I suppose there are two ways to look at it:
1) I haven't done anything wrong and should go to court to defend so that I don't pay a penny to these mugs.
2) The £35 fee is quite a large decrease from the original amount and it would be a bit risky to go to court as I would never know which view the judge would take.

I decided to pay this £35 for peace of mind and the fee being significantly lower than the original amount. I've called the court and they've confirmed the case has been settled.

I do apologise as this isn't the most exciting outcome. I'd like to thank all involved in helping me with fight this case especially B789.
Thanks

Just need to double check are these the correct email addresses that I send my WS to?    
enquiries.walsall.countycourt@justice.gov.uk
info@dcblegal.co.uk

Thanks

Hi, thanks for this. I've read it and I'm happy to sign it and send it off later this week.
My only worry is how I'm going to talk about these points in front of a judge and opposing lawyer as I'm not legally trained.

What are the chances that a solicitor actually turns up to represent ECP?
I'll give it my best shot at court but I'm not very confident.

Thanks

Hi, I have received the WS from DCBLegal. Should I forward it here or send it by direct message. It has quite a lot confidential info.

Thank you

So I phoned the court up this morning to check if the trial has been paid and the bloke on the call has said that the trial fee was paid on on 21st Feb so looks like I'm heading to court?

Do I need to start preparing my WS? I am quite surprised that the fee was paid and now feeling quite anxious about court. Is there still a possibility that they could discontinue?

Thank you

I received this in the post over the weekend and seems as though this case is approaching its conclusion...

I am right in thinking that I would only need to send a WS statement if they pay the £27 trial fee? Should I prepare a WS now or wait until 28th Feb to see if it has been paid and then prepare?

Worst case scenario, when's the deadline for sending my WS?

Many thanks

I've sent the DQ off and received an auto response from both emails.

When filling the form I only ticked 'defendant' and not 'first defendant' (at the start and end of the DQ). Should I resend it with an amendment or leave as is?

Thanks
