Ah! OK.

If the message is amended to point more specifically at the erring parts of of their correspondence, would that be sufficient?

Does this mean that DCB Legal are paying court fees now and taking cases to court?

No.
Search the forum, it is full of Letters of Claim from DCB Legal and this is a long way before the court fee has to be paid.

Hmm! The RK was away and then I was away. 

They "thoughtfully" kept something for my attention so only just gotten to this now. They received a Claim Form on the 15th June. I've not seen it, will get to see it tomorrow.

What should they be doing, from recollection it is to fill in the claim form online and ignore the paper one given in the correspondence?

If it's a N1SDT form, dated 15 June (but you say "received", so maybe dated 10 June?) then it needs a response within 14+5 days of the date on the form, best case by 6 July.

This response is either an Acknowledgement of Service or a defence, and can be submitted online using MCOL.

If an AoS, a further 14 days are allowed for a defence.

Missing the deadline allows the claimant to apply for a default judgement so this needs to be attended to immediately.

The first thing to do is to use the details on the form to log on to MCOL and to check the status. Then, if there is not already a default judgement recorded, file the AoS immediately. Then note the deadline for submitting a defence, and construct and submit one in time.

OK I have seen the Claim Form and been to MCOL with the details.

It looks like the only options are to Admit to the claim and pay the claimed amount or apply for set aside.

What should be done here?

I can only guess from your summary that the defendant has had a judgement in default made against them.
Paying £313 for a set aside probably doesn’t make sense.
The defendant should receive a letter in due course as well. N30 I think. Should be paid within 1 month to avoid problems with credit.

Set aside costs nothing if a court mistake was made, but it looks like the mistake was the defendant sitting on the claim form until past the deadline.

DCB Legal files the claim knowing that many of them are ignored like this.

Nothing to do until N30 arrives. No point in following any of the admission and payment instructions on the claim form?

If you’re sure that a default judgement has been entered, then it can be paid through MCOL.

I’m only guessing based on your summaries. You need to be sure.

As long as it won’t be overlooked, the alternative will be to wait for a week or so to receive the N30 form, which will be definitive.

The key thing is to make payment within a month, get evidence of payment made, and ensure the court then removes the entry from the Register of Judgements, Orders & Fines.

If there are any doubts, you should contact the court. Don’t wait for the N30 for too long.

I can’t see anything regarding a default judgement in MCOL.

I have been told by the RK, that MCOL has been updated with "A judgment was issued against you on 07/07/2026 at 19:10:46", I wasn't able to check myself, because the 7 day log in the RK left me with expired.

They also say that they have been getting lots of calls from a 0161 number, but they generally only answer calls from known contacts, unless they are expecting a call.
I am not sure whether these calls should be answered. My assumption is that they should not, and I said that for the time being, if they happened to end up in a call, to tell the caller all communication must be by post only.

Is there any action the RK should be taking now, or simply continue to wait for the N30.

Contact the court or, if MCOL allows payment, do that.
If the judgment is left unpaid for more than 30 days after its date, there will be a record on the relevant credit file for six years.

Indeed - advice is always hampered somewhat when the OP is a middleman rather than the defendant themselves (this isn't a criticism of Mortimer, who has my admiration for trying to help a friend).
