Yes, they have set aside the CCJ using their administrative powers. However, they have not given any explanation as to why the N30 Judgment for Clamant (in default) was printed on the reverse of a Claim and Response pack cover letter.

Your case is back at the point you submitted your defence and will proceed from there as normal. However, I believe that in almost all these cases, the CCJ has been registered before the 30 days to pay period has expired. The set aside should require the CCJ to be removed from your file but it could take a couple of weeks for that to happen.

Ok thanks for that the information here has been extremely helpful. Will I receive confirmation that the ccj has been removed and can I contact dcb to remove this or is it another person/body? Thanks.

It really does not help if you obscure dates. What was the date the CCJ was set aside?

You can email DCB Legal at info@dcblegal.co.uk and CC yourself regarding their demand letter with the following:

Quote
Subject: Cease Harassment – Court Order Setting Aside Default Judgment

To: DCB Legal Ltd
Date: [Insert Date]
Ref: [Insert DCB Reference Number]
Claim No.: [Insert Claim Number]

Dear Sirs,

I write in response to your recent correspondence demanding payment in respect of the above claim. Your threats are not only baseless but verge on harassment, given the current procedural posture of this matter.

As you are no doubt aware—or ought to be, had you exercised even a modicum of diligence—the Civil National Business Centre has issued a formal order setting aside the default judgment previously entered against myself. This order was made after I provided irrefutable evidence that a defence had been filed in time, and that the default judgment was the result of an administrative failing by the court, not any omission on my part.

Your continued demands for payment, in the face of a valid court order nullifying the judgment, are wholly improper. They demonstrate either a reckless disregard for the authority of the court or a cynical attempt to intimidate me into payment despite the matter being live and contested. Either scenario is unacceptable.

Take this as formal notice that:

• I will not be making any payment while the claim remains unresolved and subject to judicial determination.
• Any further attempts to demand payment or threaten enforcement action while the set-aside order stands will be treated as harassment and reported accordingly.
• Should you persist, I reserve the right to seek a costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g) for unreasonable conduct, and to lodge a formal complaint with the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

You are hereby instructed to cease and desist from all further contact unless it pertains to the ongoing litigation in accordance with the Civil Procedure Rules.

Yours faithfully,

[Your Name]

All normal, now that the claim is back on track. They will eventually discontinue but you have to go through the process for the time being.

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.pdf

Here 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.

Quick update it has now gone to mediation. I had a phone call from the court Friday and they said the parking company had offered to half the bill. I declined and said the most I would pay for be £10 as a gesture. They declined so it is now going to court.   
I was wondering afterwards that the fact I offered an amount is that in any way admitting I have done something wrong? The court representative seemed to want me to up my offer to get this closed.  28 mins of parking does not equate to several hundred pounds.

No, mediation is outside the legal process, it’s now mandatory but its outcome (other than agreeing to settle) has no bearing on the case.

The call was not from "the court". It is not part of the judicial process. It is without prejudice, meaning it is confidential and cannot be used in court.

However, for future reference, never, ever offer to pay a nominal sum if you don't believe you are liable at all. That is as good as an admission of liability, if it is outside of a non-prejudicial context.

You have already been advised that if you follow the advice and don't deviate by adding your own offers or suggestions, you will not be paying a penny.

Mediation didn't work as they wanted nearly the full amount. 
I now have Notice of Transfee of Proceedings.

"This claim has been transferred to the county court for allocation.  On receipt the file will be referred to a procedural judge who will allocate the claim to track and give case management directions. Details of the judges decision will be sent to you in a notice of allocation. "

Does this mean that the case will be heard only by the judge and i won't need/can't attend court?

Thanks
