Merry Christmas from DCB Legal....... ;D

Nope, it`s not a Christmas card I`m referring to...  but another claim form, from Northampton, which arrived today.

DCB Legal have bulk added this new court claim for myself, to Northampton`s already bulging list of court claims.

I shall either, post it in this thread, if that is best, or start a new thread, as this new claim has been initiated by the usual "non-compliance", from a different parking company.

The claim, which this thread was started with, was by "I Park Services Ltd", and this new claim has been initiated by " Euro Car Park Services Ltd".

We operate some "house rules" on the site.

1. We operate a "one case, one thread" rule. This means that you should keep any posts relating to one case (one incident of speeding, one PCN, etc) to a single thread. Do not start multiple topics on the same case.

Yes, a separate thread for each case if it is a different location/firm. However, I can assure you that the outcome is going to be identical... a strike out or discontinuation.

On a different subject, and rather than starting a new post/thread.

I have 1 old (4 and a half years) CCJ,-obtained by Excel Parking Services, whereby now, BW Legal, have took it upon themselves, to write to me, asking for a "proposed settlement figure"- with a 45% discount off the CCJ.

Do these companies ever just consider, which I`m sure they do, the cost of enforcement (£91 for a Warrant of Control), versus the actual "hope/chance" they have, of securing the actual amount of the original CCJ?

Sending letters is cheap.

As for onward enforcement, the short answer is I don't know - this is primarily a private parking tickets forum, rather than a debt advice forum, which means we don't see many cases where someone has an 'old' (aka beyond the possibility of set aside) CCJ.

How much is the debt? A larger debt might increase the motivation to seek enforcement.

It is £270.

Still within its 6 year capacity, until August 2027.

I guess, by offering a 45% discount, it`s unlikely they will consider enforcement.. which of course, comes at quite a cost (£91).

£91 is loose change to a company issuing as many charges as Excel, but I'd be somewhat surprised if they did.

A debt over £600 would be much more tempting, as that would be above the threshold at which they could seek to involve High Court Enforcement Officers, as opposed to County Court Bailiffs.

**Update**

Case had been allocated to Doncaster via MCOL (Your claim was transferred to DONCASTER on 16/01/2026), which I stated in my D.Q. as my "Home Court".

Then, I received a letter, dated 2 February, 2026, "General Form of Judgment or Order", which stated,
1. This matter be transferred to the County Court at Mansfield.

And now, today, received N157 form, "Notice of Allocation to the Small Claims Track (Hearing)".

Gives the Claimant, until 27 March 2026, @ 4.00pm , to either cough up the £27.00, or apply to the Court for either their "possible" discontinuance, or a set aside, varied or a stayed application.

Hearing date: Scheduled for 10:00am, 24 April 2026.

So, a witness statement is the next event in my diary, as Deputy D.J. Wigham, has ordered, that all parties must send copies of witness statements, no later, than 4pm, 20 March 2026.

You have over a month. If you show us a draft we can advise. Ideally, you should wait until the claimant submits their's before you submit yours, so that you can respond to anything in it, but this doesn't stop you drafting points you may want to include regardless.

We cannot draft the entire thing for you, as it's your witness statement and should therefore be your own words

Well, waiting for the claimant to submit their Witness Statement first, then, I shall do that :)

I do appreciate this crucial statement is a summary, in my own words, but all I am planning to include, is literally of the points raised in my defence.
