Free Traffic Legal Advice

Good afternoon,

First of all, I want to say big THANK YOU ALL !!!! for the amazing support received.

Just got an email from dcblegal with the Notice of Discountinuance dated today, as the last date to pay the court fee was tomorrow.
I got a copy of the N279 form from them attached to the email, should I expect a lleter from Court confirming this ?

Thanks again for all your kind help and support, I am trully grateful.

Good afternoon,

The only 2 dates I can read on the lleter are the "Trial date" (17 APR) and the last day the "Claimant" has to pay for the court fee or file a properly completed application (i.e one which provides all the required information in the manner requested) wich is the 19 March 2026.

I was traying to attached a copy of the letter but there is no option for documnets here or at least I coudl not find it... apologies.

I guess the next step will be to wait for a "Hearing Date" allocation if they pay the court fee correct ?

Whta's the next step ?  because DCB Legal keeps calling to my home phone number with a machine message saying they have an important mesage for me.... I hang up all the time.

Looking forwrad to heraing from you soon,

Thanks in advanced, for your help and support .

Good morning,

I am litle bit confused, my understanding was that after the "mediation call" I only needed to report the name of the person from the Claimant and the position, which I did , and hopefully this will never reach a hearing in front of any judge and they will discontinue... but now you are sying :
"It will be sent to your local county court in due course and you'll receive a Notice of Allocation and further orders."

I am sorry but I am lost (maybe in trasnlation) , if will sent to my local county court it will be for a hearing ? I guess thsi will be notify to me by post ?

Thanks , I will send the complaint right now.

I also just got this email:

Mediation Not Settled
Claim number: ********

Parties: CIVIL ENFORCEMENT LIMITED v ************

Thank you for using the Small Claims Mediation Service today.

Although a settlement could not be reached on this occasion the parties are reminded that Court is considered a last resort and in which case both parties are encouraged to continue to communicate where possible in an attempt to resolve the claim, you may find that today's mediation gives you both a base upon which to build on.

If the parties can satisfactorily resolve the matter without the need of the Court, the Claimant should complete a notice of discontinuance using the appropriate form in the link and file it with the appropriate Court; N279 - w3 Notice of discontinuance (6.99) (publishing.service.gov.uk) or update Online Civil Money Claims through your account.

If not already done so. the claim will now be transferred out of our business centre to a court where standard directions will be given and you will be notified in writing of the next stages to follow. It is important that both parties follow these instructions and adhere to the timetable set down by the Court which will include a further court fee and a final hearing for determination of the matter. Further information can be found at; Make a court claim for money: What a court claim is - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Many thanks for your participation in Mediation.

OK Good morning,

I just got the mediatoon Call, and they confirm :

Full Name of the person attending is: Kye Horabin
His Role : Mediation Associate
And Yes he hold written authority to negotiate and settle today.

I follow your instruction and keep my position saying: My settlement offer is £0, or I invite the claimant to discontinue with no orders as to costs.

The Mediator lady just called me back and said that the Claimants is not going to close the case, and this is now going to be on list for a Hearing in Court in front of a Judge and it will occure in a CCJ to me.

How we proceed next ?

It is our position that our Directions Questionnaire is fully complaint and will not be re-filed and served. 

We confirm receipt of your signed copy of the Directions Questionnaire and note that Mediation has now been booked in for 11th December 2025. Within your appointment, you will be able to enquire the name and role of the Individual acting on behalf of DCB Legal; however, we confirm they will be fully authorised to conduct the appointment.

I will proceed as per your instructions, on the mediation call requesting
• the full name of the person attending for them;
• their role/position at their legal representative’s firm; and
• whether they hold written authority to negotiate and settle today.

I understand that all I need to know is the name and the position of the person acting for the claimant and report that back in here.

Hopefully it will be over within minutes.

Thanks again for all your help and support.
