Free Traffic Legal Advice

You need to get a move on. You don’t need to “upload” anything. Just download the your DQ from the link, complete it on your computer, sign it by just typing your name in the signature box and then get it sent as a PDF attachment to an email to DQ.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and also the claimants solicitor and also CC in yourself in a single email.

Add in the body of the email that MCOL states that the claimants DQ was received in 21st August but you have not received a copy of it.

In your DQ you do not want a hearing on the papers and just put the following in the text box:

I am not content for the case to be heard 'on the papers' because that seems to disproportionately give an advantage to a legally represented party. I feel strongly after all the intimidating demands from this aggressive parking firm and its agents, that I need a voice at an attended hearing.

I couldn't find the claimants solicitor email in the papers but I have through a quick google: sarah@dcblegal.co.uk. Reckon I should use this?

About the point  not being content for the case to be heard 'on the papers' is it:

D1 Do you consider that this claim is suitable for determination
without a hearing, such as; by a judge reading and considering the
case papers, witness statements and other documents filed by the
parties, making a decision, and giving a note of reasons for that
decision?

So I should say no to this question a and explain with the statement:

"I am not content for the case to be heard 'on the papers' because that seems to disproportionately give an advantage to a legally represented party. I feel strongly after all the intimidating demands from this aggressive parking firm and its agents, that I need a voice at an attended hearing."

Sorry to be asking for so much clarification

D1 is "NO". You do not want a hearing 'on the papers'. You want a hearing in person.
Add the following to the text box:

"I am not content for the case to be heard 'on the papers' because that seems to disproportionately give an advantage to a legally represented party. I feel strongly after all the intimidating demands from this aggressive parking firm and its agents, that I need a voice at an attended hearing."

Just send the copy to info@dcblegal.co.uk, dq.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and CC yourself.

Ok perfect. I'll do that. SO my other answers were fine. I'll just amend D1 as you outlined

Mediation is now compulsory. Nothing to worry about. It is not a trial and is simply someone with 10 minutes training trying to mediate between the parties. It is only compulsory to attend the phone call. You offer £0 and it is over in less than 5 minutes.

Okay so I just received an email with a date for a mediation telephone call. Only thing that has me worried is the threats in it if you miss the call. Reception at home is awful on our mobile networks so I'll need to get an old corded land phone and update the number with them just in case. It's scheduled just over a month away. By the way, I've been dealing with this on behalf of my wife so I wonder if I should take the call myself or just brief her on what to say (unless it's possible we get someone who wants to delve into things a bit more?)

Ill invest in a wired handset, test it and have her sit by it from 10 minutes before the call

When the case management judge reads the defence they will either order the claimant to provide detailed PoC or strike the claim out. If they don't, they will order a trial date. At some point just before the claimant has to pay the trial fee, they will discontinue.

The case management order will arrive by post.

It can take months, depending on how busy your local court is. If you need to ask them questions, call the court where the case has been transferred to.
