Private parking tickets / Re: DCB - HM Courts and tribunals

Hello,

Just had my mediation, they said they would settle at £200 - I said no. He then rang again and said £95. I said no. He then said I’ll have to go to court on 8- 10 months.

Thank you so much.
Do I get a date or time for mediation or is it just anytime in the next three months?
When I do get the phone call, what are the specific things I ask?
Thanks again!

Hello again,

I have received the Notice of Proposed Allocation to the Small Claims Track. I am able to complete most of the form but would appreciate some advice regarding the mediation appointment. I am a teacher, so it is very difficult for me to leave a class in order to take part in a phone call. Should I therefore limit my availability quite strictly on the form?

The notice is dated 9 January, but I only received it yesterday and the deadline given is 26 January. This feels like a short turnaround — is this normal?

The form also states that I must “serve copies on all other parties.” I find the wording of the court letters quite confusing and would appreciate clarification on what this means in practice.

Finally, DCB Legal have been calling me weekly and leaving automated messages asking me to return the call urgently. Is this standard practice?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Thank you so much. That is all done. I cannot thank you enough as I had no idea where to start! What usually happens next? It has been completely stressful. And yes, "Unpaid Parking Charge."

Hello,

In July, I received letters from DCB stating that I had a £160 fine for “failure to pay for parking,” supposedly from 5 January 2023. No time, CCTV, or photographs were provided to show that I was actually there. I also made no returns that day, spent no money on my card (I rarely carry cash), and had no reason to be in Bolton Town Centre.

I ignored the first letter because I assumed it was a scam—this was the first I had ever heard of it and I hadn’t received anything before July. I’ve now received some worrying letters, but I’ve seen that situations like this are often resolved with some guidance. I’d really appreciate help understanding where to start and what the process is. I’ve read a lot of forums but the acronyms are confusing, and I don’t want to make any mistakes.
Thank you so much!
