Yeah, the 3rd of April will be the date to check. A guy I work with had an instance where they actually paid the court fee but dropped it a couple of days later. I'll keep the thread updated for future reference, and fingers crossed next post will be saying they have not paid and a discontinuation.

It does not say a date, but says Each party must deliver to the other party and to the court office copies of all documents on which that party intends to rely at the hearing, no later than fourteen days before the hearing. So 14 days before the 30th would be by the 16th April.

Update: Received letter today dated 4th December Notice of allocation to the small claims Track (Hearing)Essentially, it states that the case has been allocated to the small claims process and will be heard at Medway Civil and Family Court on 30 April 2026, with an estimated duration of approximately one hour.It states the claimant must pay the fees for the court by 4 pm on the 2nd of April 2026.I have been getting a few calls from the claimant, but have ignored them, and some offer emails have also been ignored.

Update: Received a letter today, October 07th 2025.Dated 13th Septemberv2025Notice of transfer of proceedingsTo all partiesThis claim has been transferred to the county court at Medway for allocation. On receipt, the file will be referred to a procedural judge who will allocate te claim to track and give case management directions. Details of the judge's decision will be sent to you in a notice of allocation.I will keep updated.

Had a mediation call, for anyone that is worried, don't be the guy on the phone, he was polite and if anything sounded a little bored with his job,He explained the reason for the call etc and that DCB legal offered to settle for £250.I said I offer zero pounds and ask that they cease the proceedings. Guy said ok, I will let them know and will give me a call back in 10 minutes or so.Call back and said they would not accept and would proceed to court, I thanked him and said That's fine.So will now await the next step, which I expect will be a date for the local court. I will keep you all updated.

Excelent result, well done,  Can you post a copy of the N279 ? I feel the more people posting these realy helps show others that people can contest these firms and get a result meaning they are not getting ripped off.

Mediation call incoming. I will offer £0 pounds and ask that they cease proceedings.

Update to this threadReceived a letter from DCBL shortly after submitting form, stating they disagree and basically their client has instructed them to pursue in court.They did not answer anything.Later received N180 form via post dated 30 June.I have responded using my own fowm not the one supplied, I downloaded from link below and discarded paper copies. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/673341e779e9143625613543/N180_1124.pdfFollowing advice from member @b789 on another thread,I have used the following answers to some of the less obvious questions:• The name of the court is "Civil National Business Centre".• To be completed by "Your full name" and you are the "Defendant".• C1: "YES"• D1: "NO". Reason: "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.."• F1: Whichever is your nearest county court. Use this to find it: https://www.find-court-tribunal.service.gov.uk/search-option• F3: "1".• Sign the form by simply typing your full name for the signature.When you have completed the form, attach it to a single email addressed to both dq.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and info@dcblegal.co.uk and CC yourself. Make sure that the claim number is in the subject field of the email.Hope you don't mind be reposting your advice b789, but wanted to update for anyone looking.

Thank you, yes I followed the AoS instructions from the PDF from another post you had the link to. Thank you for the draft and defence template. Honestly, I can't believe this, The strain emotionally on my partner has been crazy and I can only imagine others in similar states but without support would either pay or set up payment plans they cannot afford.

The Aos is submitted. I'm unsure exactly how to defend this, I currently have zero concrete information other than what is stated on the claim form which isn't too much.So it's hard to defend without having all the information available and the time frame in which it has been left. Should I contact the company and request more information photos etc?Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you i will get that sorted.

Im not sure in its relevance but we have heard nothing from anyone for a long time and recently moved when we then got letters from dcb.

Hi allIt seems I/We are not the only ones to have received a claim form for an over 5 year old PCN.This has caused my partner no end of stress and they suffer from anxiety 😥 I have said i will deal with it on their behalf and honestly have thought of just paying to be rid of it but i believe this is not right.Iv read i need to submit AoS but have a question. Do you know if i can do this via my Government gateway on their behalf as they do not have one? The issue date is 16/04/2025 so either way i need to get this done asap.Also any other advice would be appreciated, i have looked across the forum and the community help seems great, have many people reported on if dismissed or winning cases ?
