Hi all

Just got back from holiday and had a letter from the civil national business centre

It is a notice of proposed allocation to the small claims track

It says that I need to complete the questionaire by 6th November as it is now a defended claim

Is this normal guys and what should I do next ?

Do you need a photo of the form ?

All normal. Just follow this advice:

Having received your own N180 (make sure it is not simply a copy of the claimants N180) or been notified on MCOL that yours has been sent, do not use the paper form. Ignore all the other forms that came with it. you can discard those. Download your own N180 DQ 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.

Hi guys

I recieved this email today, is this stil normal ?
--------------------------------------------------------

Your telephone mediation appointment
Appointment date: 30/12/2025

Appointment time slot: 13:30 to 16:30

Your confidential telephone mediation appointment has been booked for the above date and time slot. The mediator may call at any point within your timeslot to start the appointment. Please be ready to accept a call at any point during your timeslot. Your appointment will last for around one hour from the point at which the mediator calls. The mediator will call from a withheld number. Make sure that withheld/private numbers are not blocked on your phone.

The mediator will call both parties separately – you will not talk directly to the other side. They will try to help you come to an agreement with the other party. If an agreement is reached at mediation the case will not need to progress to court.

Where your mediation appointment is mandatory, if you do not attend the appointment, the judge will take this into consideration at any court hearing and may issue a penalty. This could include the judge automatically ruling in the other party’s favour or ordering you to pay for some or all the other party’s costs.


What you need to do to prepare for your telephone appointment:
• ACTION:
The mediation service requires a contact number to conduct the appointment, please reply to scmreferrals@justice.gov.uk.

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO PROVIDE YOUR CASE/CLAIM NUMBER IN THE RESPONSE TO THE EMAIL.

For the mediation call, the only requirement is for you "attend" the call. It is not part of the judicial process and no judge is involved.

This is what I advise you to say when you receive the call from the mediator:

“Before I set out my position, please confirm from the claimant’s side:

• the full name of the person attending for them;
• their role/position at their legal representative’s firm; and
• whether they hold written authority to negotiate and settle today.

Please relay that back to me before we continue.”

After the mediator calls back...

If identified and authority confirmed:

“Thank you. I’m content to proceed on that basis. My settlement offer is £0, or I invite the claimant to discontinue with no order as to costs.”

If no/unclear authority:

“Please record that the claimant’s attendee has not confirmed settlement authority. My position remains that liability is denied and my offer is £0, subject to prompt approval by an authorised solicitor if they choose to discontinue.”

If the mediator probes your defence:

”In what capacity are you asking that question? Are you legally trained?  If not, please refrain from offering opinions. I will be reporting any attempt to do so as inappropriate.”

All you need to know is the name and the position of the person acting for the claimant and report that back to us. It will be over within minutes. Complete waste of time otherwise.

Hi all

So the call was very quick.

Her name was L...a D...n
Mediator counsel and she had authority.

I offered nothing as instructed and the guy on the phone did not probe and that was it.

He said if they want to continue the next I hear will be from the court.

What will happen now do you think ?

Just search the forum!

There are many cases documented covering DCB Legal and their modus operandi.

Eventually, a claim is going to be issued. However, it is easily defended with our advice and there is the 99.9% likelihood that it will be struck out or discontinued before they have to pay the £27 trial fee. You can do a search of the forum for other DCB Legal issued claims. Their M.O. is to hope that you are low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree and will pay up out of ignorance and fear.
If you didn’t search the forum as advised then, you should do so now.

Yeah fair enough, as I say someone asked me to report back.

Since all this happened we have made plans to emigrate and hope to do so in the next month, should I inform anyone at DCB of this once our house sale exchanges and its definite do you think ?

No, once you move you should inform ECP’s Data Protection Officer of your new address.
Quote
You send the ECP Data Protection Officer (DPO) a Data Rectification Notice (DRN) which instructs them to update their records with your (the Keepers) current address for service and to erase all other addresses they hold. The highlighted words are there for a reason, so use them.
The fact that it’s abroad is their problem and they are unlikely to be able to pursue you there.

It won’t harm to inform DCB Legal as well, and set up post forwarding for a time which I’d do for other reasons anyway.
