DCB Legal Issued Claim Form

Hopefully that is the case, I have just had the letter from them saying they will accept payment of £60 which I think is standard scare tactics!

We obviously can't offer any guarantees, but that's generally a good sign.

Called the court to see what was happening and they confirmed discontinued before HF was due. Thanks for all your help!

Also had another PCN where they didn’t do anything after the defence so that one is sorted too!

Hi all,

I have received an issued claim form from DCB Legal. It has pretty poor Particulars of Claim which I am almost certain do not comply with CPR 16.4(1).

1. The Defendant is indebted to the Claimant for Parking Charges issued to vehicle XXXXX at XXXX.
2. The date of contravention is XXX and the D was issued with PCs by the D.
3. The D is pursued as the driver of the vehicle for breach of the terms on the signs (the contract). Reason: Park for longer than permitted.
4. In the alternative the D is pursued as the keeper pursuant to POFA 2012, Schedule 4.
AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS
1. £170 being the total of the PCs and damages.
2. Interest at a rate of 8% per annum pursuant to s.69 of the CCA 1984 from the date hereof at a daily rate of £.02 until judgment or sooner payment.
3. Costs and court fees.

I was not the driver at the time. Their PoC do not provide enough detail. I have filed my AOS and now have some time to file my Defence. Could anyone help me with a Defence to file and I think a strike out order as their PoC is deficient.

TIA

Hi OP, I have received the same claim form from DCB Legal. It is almost word for word.

Shall I follow the same advice?

Does anyone need me to upload the Claim form?
