Thank you so much
I will keep you posted
Good day wonderful people
Please I received a letter from the court this morning and a copy is attached.
Just keeping the house updated.
Thank you for all you do

Please any advice on what I should say if they call or should I ignore their calls
Thank you
If who calls?
You are now waiting for the claimants acknowledgment of your defence and their intention to proceed. This is usually accompanied with a copy of their N180 Directions Questionnaire (DQ).
Having received your own N180 (make sure it is not simply a copy of the claimants N180), do not use the paper form. Ignore all the other forms that came with it. you can discard those. Download your own here and fill it in on your computer. You sign it by simply typing your full name in the signature box.
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/673341e779e9143625613543/N180_1124.pdfHere are the 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 in yourself. Make sure that the claim number is in the subject field of the email.
Ok thank you so much
I was referring to the call mentioned in the letter attached from excel to try to settle out of court
No. You don't take calls from Excel or DCB Legal.
Thank you for the clarification
Being the 'only true witness to the events in question' implies that this person was the driver. Indeed post #1 still states as much.
But for completeness, OP where is the original notice sent to you as the registered keeper on 6 Nov. 2024?
Good morning
No letter was received on the said date, I have kept all our correspondence and shared everything in the group
Thank you
It's so easy to get bogged down in minutiae that the bigger picture is lost.
So OP, you posted 'I didn't reply and I never revealed who drove the car to them' from which it's possible to infer that something which gave you the option to reply was received.
But what you're saying is that the first letter you received - addressed as per your V5C-was the follow-up dated 5 Dec. which notified you that it was too late to appeal.
In which case the rest is process without any substantive issues being examined.
If you weren't the driver, which is clearly implied, then the only way that you could be held liable is as the keeper, to do which they would need to have served a compliant Notice to Keeper.
But this is not in evidence.
I have deleted the off-topic posts. If people wish to debate whether or not advice posted on Free Traffic Legal Advice should be referred to as advice, the place to do so is in the Flame Pit.

Noted.
I've added a disclaimer, just in case.
Good morning
I just received an email from DCBL stating that they are ready to proceed with the case
Attached is a copy of the email
An N180 pdf was also attached in the email, I don't know if I should share it here too.
Thank you
