Hi all, just checking in. Have not received any further notice yet since the receipt/acknowledgement of my defense on MCOL e.g. no N180 either in the post or otherwise. Question, is there a time limit by which this needs to occur as its been over a month now since my defense was recorded.

2
Thanks for the super quick note, genuinely appreciated. I have checked MCOL & there is no notification or update as yet beyond confirm of my original defense submission, so will hold fire until such times as that updates per your guidance.

Cheers have found the informationm I need here:

https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/dcb-legal-on-behalf-of-euro-carparks-claim-form-received-defence-needs-submittin/msg88670/#msg88670

The only thing I am not clear on however is how long I have to respond. I recieved DCB's questionnaire on 5th Jan. I've downloaded & completed the N180 form as suggested in the above post, but just want to confirm what sort of timeframe I have to email this in as per the explanation on the above thread?

Yes, you will receive a letter saying that they have reviewed your defence and their client intends to proceed and a copy of their N180 DQ.

You are spot on once again b789. DCB Legal have emailed me the following email & attached N180.

There does not appear to be any updates on the MCOL website yet if that means anything.

So the 64,000 peso question is - what next?

Quick update just for info & benefit of others like me who do not know this process at all - recieved acknowlegdement/recipet of defence submission, so now assume we wait for DCBL to reply, if at all.

Many thanks for this - I would not have known to do any of this without your help & probably would have fubar'd it as yuou noted. I've pasted the text into the appropriate field on the MCOL website & have submitted. I assume its now a case of hurry up & wait for their reply/assessment?

Thanks for the guidance. I've searched the forum & found this thread which I think covers the main actions to take? Just so I get this right, I assume I now have to submit an AoS (Acknowledgement of Service), and then a personalised copy of the defence template quoted in the thread e.g. "in the County Court between Vehicle Control Services Ltd" etc (obviously adjusting for my particular details).

This is then to be emailed to the prescribed email address in the thread (claimresponses.cnbc@justice.gov.uk) noting claim number etc. There is alos a copy of a draft order for defence - should I include this also?

Hi all,

It would appear the previous letter above didn't have the desired effect e.g. they have now (or the court has) issued a claim - see attached/linked scan. They have also applied a huge amount of interest bring the claim value now up to £320, from the original £170.

This has now defiintiely gone beyond my level of expertise & experience/knowledge. What can I do now? Am I locked into paying the fully unjustified amount, or is there any way to push back on this to get them to go bury their heads once & for all?

As always, any & all guidance gratefully accepted.

Hi all,
Have finally had a response to my previous email from DCB & it comes as no surprise I guess that they are sticking to their guns. On my part this is getting beyond my comfort zone & area of experience/knowledge, so once again need to lean on this group for advice & direction please.

Here is a link to the email & the attached evidence they refer to which are a coupleof photos - one of my car & the other is the sign at the car park.

Any guidance on how/when/what to reply with here from this point forward will be much appreciated!!!

TIA!!

Does 'Claude' always write like it's generating clickbait content for an online tabloid?  ;D

It does read bit like that doesnt it!!  ;D  ;D  ;D

I use it for work to generate insights into businesses I work with & it is VERY useful for that I must say.

Lets hope it has come to the right conclusion on DCBL  ;)

Hi all,

Quick updateon my above situation. I have used one of b789's LOC responses email templates & now await DCBL response. Out of curiosity, I have also run the email template through my Claude Pro Ai account using the following prompt:

I have just sent the following email (being the LOC template) to DCBL on this matter - please analyse the likely next actions by DCBL or potential outcome

The resulting output from Claude massivley reinforces b789's recommended approach (whatever your view on Ai output is):

Hi all,

A further update to the above thread.I have just recoeved a Letter of Claim from DCBLLegal & have shared a scanned/redcated copy here for reference. I've also attached the original PCN for ref. If needs be, can also share all other correspondnece I have recieved from them on this matter.

The question now is, what happens now? Do I continue to ignore this or do I need to act now as guided by jfollows above? Given I have also recently lost my job due to a restructure, I could certainly do without this unwarranted & unfair issues dragging on, let alone pay the so called fine.

Any guidance now this appears to have ramped is much appreciated.

Generally the case, yes, stuff from DCBL as debt collectors can be ignored but a Letter of Claim from DCB Legal needs a response. It will also need a defence filing and, therefore, anything you can dig out, especially the original PCN, will be useful for this.

Thanks for the note. If/when I get a LBC, I will post here along with relevant background info - had a look & I still have the original scans!!

Hi all,

My first post, so please be genlte with me ;)

I have just recieved a debt recovery notice & subsequent final reminder from DCBL for a parking notice I recieved several years ago (approx 5 years). At the time I followed the recommend  course of action from the pepipoo community & they bascially went away/stopped chasing etc. As it was such a long time ago, I dont remember the details but can ikely dig up the background it it helps.

Looking at some of the previous similar issues on this forum, I can see the general view is to ignore these until they send an LBC I think its called.

Have attached PDF scans of both debt recovery letter & final reminder for ref if of any use.

I guess the question is, given the lapsed time since the original issue & now is, assume I do just ignore this unless they share anything remotely looking like a court claim etc?

All guidance gratefully recieved
