Hi everyone, just want to share that I received an Email that I have A Mediation Appoiment booked by SCM at 2nd of April. I remember at my last form I ticked that I don't want any mediation ... do you know why I'm getting this, and what I should say on it ? Should I just mention that I don't agree with the fine because there is a lack of evidence? What are possible outcomes ? On top of that, I just want to mention that recently DBCL again tried to reach me a few times a day, leaving automatic voicemails for URGENT contact:)
Thanks for any responses :*

If you read the N180 you submitted it says that mediation is mandatory. Section A.
Just search the forum for “mediation” and you will find lots of advice. https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/parkmaven-ntk-and-unsuccessful-appeal/90/ is just one example.

Essentially you offer £0 to settle, do not discuss your defence, and it will be over in 5 minutes.

Block DCBL’s number if you can and hang up on them if you can’t.

Hey everyone! Just a quick update from me and my case. So today I had a mediation call, and as my Heros from here advised, the call lasted 5 min not more. The mediator was polite and didn't pressure me with anything.He said that DCB offer f190 to settle ( from 285) and I said that I do not accept it, and I let the court decide. No more details were needed or asked. I was informed that my hearing will be in 6-9 months. I guess if no one will close that topic until then, I will inform u what happened :) Once again, a big THANK YOU to everyone who was willing to help. Thank u for your time,and for helping me during all this process ( especially with filling out forms and explaining what will happen next). Probably without your help, I would have paid that fine a long time ago.As I said, I will update you when I receive any news.

Yes, typical overture prior to discontinuing. Carry on ignoring!
I love their “To assist the Court in achieving its overriding objective” rubbish. As in “to avoid going to court”, but they are the people who took you to court in the first place!

I hope that the date by which you have to submit a Witness Statement to court is later than 24 June, it’s often two weeks before the court date. If you are unclear, please post the full court letter with all the dates.
