If this is not struck out or discontinued, I will eat my hat. Any claim issued by DCB Legal that is defended will never make it as far as a hearing. Just continue to follow the advice you get here and it will all end happily with not a penny being paid to Britannia.

Not a chance of a CCJ.

Hello,

Just to update the thread/case with the latest update which I assume is perfectly normal.

I've received a "Notice of Transfer of Proceedings" to my local County Court.

Kind Regards.

Perfectly normal. What is the deadline for payment of the £27 trial fee by the claimant?

I assume that will be in further communication.

This "Notice of Transfer of Proceedings" letter literally just says :

"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"

Kind Regards.

I have received a Notice of Allocation to the Small Claims Track (Hearing)

They've been given until 4pm on 23rd December 2025 to pay £27 court trial fee with hearing date of 5th Jan.

The full letter with redacted personal information is here -

Is there anything required of me here?

Thanks again,
Phil.

Further,

Today I've been sent an email from a solicitor apprentice at DCB legal asking to ring a number as "the client" is prepared to make an offer.

A part of me is tempted to ring and offer the £3 that it would've cost me to park had the machine been working just to see what they say. However, always happy to follow advice on here.

Thanks,
Phil.

Ignore.

Every contact gives you the opportunity to shoot yourself in the foot by identifying the driver, as you just did in your post.

Maybe that doesn’t matter in this particular case, but don’t ever phone these people. There is no record and you may say something to your disadvantage.

Search the forum for similar cases.

This is just their increasingly desperate step to get something out of you, before discontinuing.

Also, understand their business model.

The £3 that could have been paid would have gone to the land owner. Britannia gets nothing. But Britannia gets the right to pursue people who don’t comply with their rules, and it’s probably their sole source of income, albeit highly profitable.

DO NOT make any contact with DCB Legal to offer anything if you don't want to FUBAR this. Their email is simply the precursor to their discontinuing. Expect an N279 Notice of Discontinuance in due course.

I repeat... DO NOT make any contact with DCB Legal or you risk fecking up this well trodden process.

An early Christmas present,

Today, via email, I received an N279 Notice of Discontinuance.

Big thanks to this group for guiding me through the process. I wish everyone knew what I now know.

AS this was never really about the money and more about the fact I'd been wronged and they were making more money from a faulty machine than a working one, I'd like to make a donation to the amount of the original "fine" to a
the charity of choice of b789.

Thanks again,
Phil.

Well done for persevering. Can you please post a photo of the N2279 Notice of Discontinuance for our records. Don't redact the name of the signatory.

HI,

https://ibb.co/YBPj2L1M

Link should take you to a photo of the document with information redacted. I've changed the defendant name to the name given to me during the mediation by the claimant representative.  :-\

Thanks again.
