Many thanks for this - I would not have known to do any of this without your help & probably would have fubar'd it as yuou noted. I've pasted the text into the appropriate field on the MCOL website & have submitted. I assume its now a case of hurry up & wait for their reply/assessment?

There are a ton of other DCB Legal issued claims you can search on the forum to see what happens when. just have a read of a few to see the answers given at each stage.

Try "DCB Legal defence" as your search term (include the apostrophes)

Quick update just for info & benefit of others like me who do not know this process at all - recieved acknowlegdement/recipet of defence submission, so now assume we wait for DCBL to reply, if at all.

Yes, you will receive a letter saying that they have reviewed your defence and their client intends to proceed and a copy of their N180 DQ.

You are spot on once again b789. DCB Legal have emailed me the following email & attached N180.

There does not appear to be any updates on the MCOL website yet if that means anything.

So the 64,000 peso question is - what next?

Cheers have found the informationm I need here:

https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/dcb-legal-on-behalf-of-euro-carparks-claim-form-received-defence-needs-submittin/msg88670/#msg88670

The only thing I am not clear on however is how long I have to respond. I recieved DCB's questionnaire on 5th Jan. I've downloaded & completed the N180 form as suggested in the above post, but just want to confirm what sort of timeframe I have to email this in as per the explanation on the above thread?

You send your N180 online either when your MCOL account tells you that your N180 has been sent to you or when you receive the paper N180 form to complete and return.

The purpose of your submission, inter alia, is to ensure that the case is allocated to your local court, rather than the one requested by DCB Legal.

Thanks for the super quick note, genuinely appreciated. I have checked MCOL & there is no notification or update as yet beyond confirm of my original defense submission, so will hold fire until such times as that updates per your guidance.

Hi all, just checking in. Have not received any further notice yet since the receipt/acknowledgement of my defense on MCOL e.g. no N180 either in the post or otherwise. Question, is there a time limit by which this needs to occur as its been over a month now since my defense was recorded.

No.
Send it either when MCOL tells you it’s been sent to you, or you receive forms in the post.
This will then lead to allocation to your local court, with deadlines, which normally mean that DCB Legal discontinue rather than pay the court fee.
As you can see, this all takes time.
