Do you have a link for the thread on MoneySavingExpert?

Already notified on there: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/81310262/#Comment_81310262

Thanks for the link - I have shared it and a link to this thread in the Facebook community group for the Housing Development on which I received the ticket, urging people who live there to stand-up to these people, and referring them here.

Can you please show us the N279 form?

Over on the MoneySavingExpert forum they're collating a list of all the times DCB Legal pull this last minute discontinuing trick.

Of course - I have attached the redacted N279.

Do you have a link for the thread on MoneySavingExpert?

Many thanks!

Some time ago, I received notification from the local court that the case had been tranferred.

Shortly afterwards (10th Feb), I received this via email from DCB Legal:

Re: Our Client: BaySentry Solutions Ltd

Claim Number: XXXXXXXX

WITHOUT PREJUDICE SAVE AS TO COSTS

We write to you in relation to the above matter.

To assist the Court in achieving its overriding objective, our Client may be prepared to settle this case. I can confirm our Client would be agreeable to £100.00 in full and final settlement of this Claim. The current outstanding balance is £291.68.

Should you be agreeable to this offer, please make payment within 7 days. Payment can be made via our website www.dcblegal.co.uk, by calling our office on 0203 838 7038 or via bank transfer:

When making payment please ensure you include the following reference number, XXXXXX.XXXXX, to enable us to allocate it to the correct case.

Upon receipt of the settlement sum of £100.00 we will update the Court that the matter has been settled. If you are not agreeable, we will continue to follow the Court process as normal.

I ignored this, obviously!

This morning (24th Feb) I received this via email:

Our ref: XXXXXX.XXXXX / BaySentry Solutions Ltd v <My Name>
 
We act for the Claimant in the above matter. 

Our client has instructed us to discontinue Court proceedings and close our file. Therefore, please find enclosed the Claimant’s N279 Notice of Discontinuance for your records. 

The attached has also been filed with the Court.

We will now proceed to close our file accordingly.

Victory!

Thanks for all the help I've received on here - I wouldn't have known what to do without it.

But what a total waste of time and resource - not least, of the Court system.

Can nothing be done about these parasites?

I have had my call.

I stated my position to the mediator.

The mediator spoke to the claimant, who restated their position.

I said I wasn't prepared to consider anything other than withdrawal of the claim.

Call ended.

Awaiting further communication from my local court.

It's a waste of time in these bulk litigator initiated actions. It is not part of the judicial process and no judge or lawyer is involved. Your only obligation is to "attend" the call.

You offer £0 and it is all over within minutes.

Got it, thanks.

I did think, when I read the document, that I wasn't prepared to offer them anything as I don't believe I have committed any offence!

Update:

We both submitted the completed N180DQ, as requested.

Weh ave both received invitations to mediation appointments in Janury, 2025.

The invitation email contained the attached document, and a link to this video:

Is there anything we should be aware of at this stage?

The address for sending the completed N180DQ are as follows...

You save it as a PDF and attach it to a single email addressed to both DQ.CNBC@JUSTICE.GOV.UK and INFO@DCBLEGAL.CO.UK and also CC in yourself.

We've been advising on this for years. These are the email addresses to use. Why are you trying to overthink this?

I don't doubt your advice, but the reply from DWMB2 contains the confirmation I wanted to see.

Thank you for all your help - I do genuinely value it.

You complete the N80 DQ. Download one here and complete it, sign it by typing your name for the signature and then send it as a PDF attachment in a single email addressed to both dq.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and info@dcblegal.co.uk and CC in yourself.

Question about where to send the completed form:

The N149A says to:

Quote
file it with the Civil National Business Centre, 4th Floor St Katharine's House, 21-27 St Katherine's Street, Northampton, NN1 2LH

and:

Quote
serve copies on all other parties

by which, I assume they mean DBL legal Ltd, Direct House, Greenwood Drive, Runcorn, WA7 1UG (from the N1SDT Claim Form).

I can't find any reference to the email addresses you mention, or any indication that it's OK to return/service the documents via email. Where can I find confirmation of this?

Thanks!

I wish to question the Claimant about their evidence at a hearing in person and to expose omissions and any misleading or incorrect evidence or assertions.

Given the Claimant is a firm who complete cut & paste parking case paperwork for a living, having this case heard solely on papers would appear to put the Claimant at an unfair advantage, especially as they would no doubt prefer the Defendant not to have the opportunity to expose the issues in the Claimants template submissions or speak as the only true witness to events in question.

I had to edit your suggest response down to fit in the box on the PDF form. I don't think this materially changes the content:

Does that sound OK?

Perfect, thanks.

Thanks for the response.

Do you have any advice on the following:

C1 Do you agree that the small claims track is the appropriate track for this case?

D1 Do you consider that this claim is suitable for determination without a hearing, such as; by a judge reading and considering the case papers, witness statements and other documents filed by the parties, making a decision, and giving a note of reasons for that decision?


12
Update: We have both received Notice of Proposed Allocation to the Small Claims Track.

What do we do next?

Thanks.

I'll probably submit an appeal, but expect the usual series of threatening letters, culminating with a LoC, just like my other ongoing case: https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/baysentry-solutions-pcn-the-chocolate-works-york-court-claim-received/msg36952

I shall update the thread with progress.

The driver entered the car park at The Sovereigns public house in Woking on 5th October, 2024. They put the car in a space, and got out of the car but never left the car park and decided not to stay, leaving 19 minutes later.

NtK was received earlier this week.





I believe from other posts on this forum that there is a technical flaw in the NtK in that it does not comply with all the requirements of PoFA 2012 meaning ECP are not able to transfer the charge from the driver to the keeper, and the only way they can know who the driver was is if the keeper tells them.

What advice can you offer in this situation? What are next steps?

Many thanks.

Defence and Short Order submitted.

Autoresponse received.

I will update further when a further response is received.
