Subject: Claim [claim number – N180 DQ signed “DCB Legal”: authority to conduct litigation & signature compliance

Dear Sir/Madam,

I refer to the N180 (Directions Questionnaire) filed/served in this matter. The signature block describes the signatory as “DCB Legal”.

Please confirm by return:

• The signatory’s full name (forename and surname), their capacity, and whether they are an “authorised person” within the meaning of the Legal Services Act 2007 with a current right to conduct litigation (provide their SRA/CILEX number and practising status); or, if not,
• The precise exemption relied upon under Schedule 3 of the Legal Services Act 2007 permitting them to conduct litigation and sign the N180DQ (and any related statements of truth/certifications) in this matter.

For the avoidance of doubt, filing/serving an N180 and related correspondence are acts of “conducting litigation”. If any person purporting to conduct litigation or to sign documents requiring a personal signature is not authorised (or exempt), please confirm the steps you will take to remedy the irregularity, including filing and serving a compliant N180DQ personally signed by an authorised person, and your position on costs arising.

You are placed on notice that if any signatory or employee is conducting litigation without the required authorisation or exemption, any breach of the Legal Services Act 2007 will be reported to the SRA and I reserve the right to raise it with the Court, including on costs.

Please respond within 7 days.

Yours faithfully,

Notice of Proposed Allocation to the Small Claims Track received today from CNBC Northampton. It had been delayed by Royal Mail as no postage had been applied to the envelope and I had to pay a penalty fee of £5 to get it delivered. I will now be invoicing them for this amount plus interest payable on a daily rate.
Further the notice is dated 17-September-2025 and I had to have replied by 4 October 2025, Right at this moment I'm on the phone to them trying to speak to a human and have been waiting for 15 minutes to get to position #2. Evenetually spoke with a very uninterested person who told me to return the form as quickly as I can. Appalling service!

Thanks b789. Email sent.

No reply received so far relating to either issue. Should I just let it ride and raise it when it gets to court or should I be chasing them be email/phone right now?
