Private parking tickets / Re: CLAIM FORM received -DCB Legal ltd- Feltham -Please Help!

Hi guys,
Thank you very much for your input. I'm thinking along the same lines. The claim continued despite the fact that there was no cause of action.
Mediation took place unnecessarily; they only discontinued just before the court hearing. Thank you for reminding me not to separate claimant from their solicitors. Do you think the claimant will turn up in court?

Hi ,

I was allowed a face-to-face court hearing date for the costs schedule-unreasonable conduct CPR 27.14(2)(g). It's meant to be a 15-minute hearing for the Application for Costs Hearing.  The key points are:

PCN cancelled: 01/10/2025
The claimant was informed of the cancellation
The claim continued despite no cause of action
Mediation took place unnecessarily
The claimant indicated they would not proceed but refused to discontinue at that stage
Claim only discontinued later (N279 filed)-just before the court hearing

I'd be very grateful for some practical advice
Thank you all in advance.

Definitely write to TESCO's manager and get it cancelled. I've had the same with Sainsbury's and got it cancelled. Use ChatGPT to help you with a good email to the appropriate department. Start with the head office/customer services -they should forward your email accordingly.

Best of luck!

Hi b789,

I wanted you to know that DCBlegal discontinued their claim and filed N279, sent by email. (The case was already transferred to the local court with the hearing date set for April.)DCBLegal were given until March to pay the trial fee of £27, or the case would be struck out.

email:
----------------------------------------------------
Dear xxxx

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.

Kind Regards,
------------------------------------------------------------




Lastly, without your help, I'd be totally lost here. Thank you so much for your help and advice given here!!

Hi,

Please can you help me with the next step? I sent emails to the court and DCB legal following my mediation appointment on the 7th November. The emails were sent on the 10th of November, as advised above. (just over 3 weeks ago). I received no response, other than an automated response.

I’ve received no Notice of Strike Out, no Order, and no Discontinuance notice. Shall I wait to hear from the court, or send them another email?

DCB Legal ignored my deadline of 12th November. Your advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you!

I have the name of the litigation person (if that helps). I just sent an email to the court.



Re: litigation support: I will follow up with the complaint to SRA on Monday

Is there anything else I should prepare for/do?

 ''I’m sorry,  it that just does not make any sense. Are you saying that DCB Legal have already told you that they do not intend to continue with the claim? If so, they are obliged to serve a Notice of Discontinuance N279 on the court and you.''


When the mediator called , she said she had spoken with the claimant already and said the claimant is not looking to continue the claim, so there is no need for mediation. DCB Legal wanted ''to settle'' the case; they didn't want to file N279.  They wanted to get a settlement agreement based on 'drop hands'. They would withdraw the claim, and each party would bear their own costs.I declined the settlement.I asked if they are an authorised person, she confirmed  : they are an authorised person. I then asked the mediator to go back to the claimant and confirm what position they hold . She came back stating: 'Litigation Support Officer.''

I sent an email to DCB legal and copied the SCMS and myself, but didn't copy the court, as I don't have the correct email address..The email I found online for the court bounced back. What is the correct address for the court, please?

''Begin your SRA report over the weekend while everything is fresh, citing''-what is SRA report?

Hi,

The mediator said that the claimant is not looking to continue this claim, so there is no need for mediation. DCB Legal wanted only to settle the case; they didn't want to file N279. DCB Legal's authorised person didn't confirm any discontinuance- they wanted to get a settlement agreement based on 'drop hands'. They would withdraw the claim, and each party would bear their own costs.

I said I have nothing to settle, as the claimant already cancelled the charge, and I informed DCB legal of this in writing, with no response from them.
The mediator refused to confirm or record what I asked; they said they would only put on record that no settlement was reached.

When I asked what position the authorised person at DCB legal held-I was told he was ''Litigation Support Officer.'' The mediator said that any recordings of the phone call I won't be able to use in court. Should I follow up with an email to DCB legal and the court now?

I'd be grateful for your advice.

Cancellation noted: N
Authorised status: Y ('Litigation Support officer)
Discontinuance confirmed/time given: N

I contacted the court this morning and they confirmed that they didn't receive a filed Notice Of Discontinuance from DCB legal, despite me sending them 2 emails (on the 6/10 & 20/10/25) requesting it, due to the claimant cancelling the charge on the 1/10/25.

So I'll have to attend the mediation call on the 7th of November.

b789, regarding the mediation call- you have shared above the outline,is there anything else I need to know/do?

Shouldn't I also ask for the name of the 'authorised person'?

Thank you!

Hi,


I sent the email to DCB legal, as you advised yesterday morning; however, no response has been received from them other than an automated acknowledgement. I will be away from Saturday, 25th October -6th November. I will have no proper access to the internet.

On the 7th November, I have a mediation call scheduled; have sent 2 emails to DCb legal (06/10 & 20/10 )regarding the cancellation of the charge-but no response.

I have to be at work on the 7/11-so won't be able to answer the mediation call.

Do I need to attend a mediation? If so, what do I do...?

or, shall I contact the court and reschedule the mediation call?

What shall I do next?

Please advise, thank you!

Hi,


b789, thank you so much for the above!

Shame I only just saw your message, but I will schedule it now for Monday morning to be sent to them. I'll come back to let you know if I receive a response from them. I also have some positive news-Sainsbury's cancelled the penalty charge from 3 years ago (so definitely worth writing to), for which I received a 'Final Reminder 'out of the blue for £ 465, being claimed by DCBL bailiffs (not DCB legal). So I hope that DCBL will send no more letters my way.

As for the DCB legal, I'll come back to report on Monday. Always appreciate and very grateful for your help!
