Indeed,

I've received the following letter dated 27 Oct from HMCTS

"I acknowledge receipt of your defence. A copy is being served on the claimant (or the claimant's solicitor).
The claimant may contact you direct to attempt to resolve any dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved
informally, the claimant will inform the court that he wishes to proceed. The court will then inform you of
what will happen.
Where he wishes to proceed, the claimant must contact the court within 28 days after receiving a copy of
your defence. After that period has elapsed, the claim will be stayed. The only action the claimant can then
take will be to apply to a judge for an order lifting the stay."

We haven't deleted anything. A lot of images from previous threads are unavailable for 2 main reasons:
  • A lot of people post without first reading the 'READ THIS FIRST' thread t the top of the forum, and uploaded images directly onto the forum software against our advice. At some point, the forum software seems to have malfunctioned and these attachments are no longer available
  • One of the main image hosting sites, Imgur, removed its services from the UK market recently, so any images uploaded there are no longer viewable from UK IP addresses

Since that's been the policy all along, it's a good thing that the upload buttons no longer appear.

Agreed - an inherent downside of using free forum software is that we have limited control of how it works. An inherent upside is that you don't have to pay for our advice.

All standard and was expected. You will now receive a letter from the claimants solicitor telling you that their client intends to proceed and they will include a copy of their N180 Directions Questionnaire (DQ) which you can just file for reference. Keep checking your MCOL for news when your own N180 DQ has been sent to you. You don't have to waif for it to arrive and you can prepare your now following 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,

Just received an automated call from DCBL to discuss the matter. I wasn't prepared to speak to someone so hung up.
Should I take the call if they try again or should we do all in writing?

Block their number. They will just try to intimidate you into paying. It's a sign that you are in a good position.

Hi,


DCB Legal did not attempt to contact me again but, exactly as expected, I've now received the following email:

"Good Morning

Having reviewed the content of your defence, we write to inform you that our client intends to proceed with the claim.

In due course, the Court will direct both parties to each file a directions questionnaire. In preparation for that, please find attached a copy of the Claimant's, which we confirm has been filed with the Court.

Without Prejudice to the above, in order to assist the Court in achieving its overriding objective, our client may be prepared to settle this case - in the event you wish to discuss settlement, please call us on 0203 434 0433 within 7 days and make immediate reference to this correspondence.

If you have provided an email address within your Defence, we intend to use it for service of documents (usually in PDF format) hereon in pursuant to PD 6A (4.1)(2)(c). Please advise whether there are any limitations to this (for example, the format in which documents are to be sent and the maximum size of attachments that may be received). Unless you advise otherwise, we will assume not.

Kind Regards,
Litigation Support
DCB Legal Ltd
Tel: 0203 838 7038 | DX 23457 Runcorn"

They've attached a directions questionnaire (but I don't see it on MCOL yet).
Their answers are as follows
• C1: "YES"
• D1: "YES"
• F1: Claimant's home court
• F3: "1"

I've prepared my directions questionnaire according to guidelines but don't see the request on MCOL yet.

You don't submit your DQ until you see on MCOL that yours has been sent or you receive it in the post.

Hi,
All I can see on MCOL in the Claim history is documents I've submitted:
"Claim History
Your acknowledgment of service was received on  at
Your defence was submitted on  at
Your defence was received on  at "

There's no mention of the claim itself and notices sent to me or to the claimant. Are these hidden somewhere else?

No. It wil update when they have sent your own Directions Questionnaire. It does nt mention the claims because the MCOL does not become active until you have responded to it.

Hello,

DCB Legal's DQ finally appeared on MCOL and I've now received the paper Notice of Proposed Allocation:

"You must by 22 December 2025 complete the Small Claims Directions Questionnaire (Form N180) and file it with the court office:
      the Civil National Business Center + postal address in Northampton
and serve copies on all other parties"

Even though this option is not mentioned in the documents received, I sent the D180 by email per your recommendations. I've immediately received automatic acknowledgements from DQ.CNBC and info@dcblegal

We know. That is why we advise you to do it this way.

Also, I seriously doubt "DCBL's" DQ appeared anywhere. DCBL is a completely different legal entity to DCB Legal. Please do not confuse the two.
