Free Traffic Legal Advice

Once your MCOL updates to show that your DQ has been sent you can fire off your own DQ to the dq email address at the CNBC and CC DCB Legal at any of their email addresses, it doesn't really matter which. Personally, I just advise using the info@ one as it is their published contact email address.

You can send the template response about the signature of their N180 but, to be honest, it won't do much except frustrate them slightly. They can just reissue with a name of an authorised person, even if it isn't actually done by them. It would be more important for the N1SDT or an N279 form.

You can check your MCOL history to see when your own N180 has been issued or just wait to receive it in the post. 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.

Here are the answers to some of the less obvious questions:


When you have completed the form, attach it to a single email addressed to both dq.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and [claimant to their legal representative]and CC in yourself. Make sure that the claim number is in the subject field of the email.

Block DCB Legal’s number and do not talk to them, hang up if you can’t.
For mediation, you offer £0 to settle and do not be drawn into any discussion of your defence. It will last minutes. You’re only attending because you have to.

Search the forum for
mediation
if you want more words.

No damage done whatsoever.

As the defendant in this matter you are quite entitled to try and understand exactly what their claim is based on - if anything, the Court will view this as compliant behaviour from you.

It is unclear what DCBL were claiming when they stated that "your October reply was outside of the timeframe"? Parties are required at all times to engage in a manner which allows both parties to better understand each others cases.

Hi guys,

Some more advice please.. After the mediation call, I got an email to say we'd be informed of the next steps in writing. The MCOL system says that the case was transferred to Nottingham (presumably County Court) on 25/03.

At the beginning of March, we moved house. I set up Royal Mail Redirects for myself and my wife, but we have received nothing to date (complaints with RM placed, but that's another story).

I am currently on hold with the number that Google brings up for Nottingham CC but it's more of generic helpline it seems. My question is, what's the best way (if anyone knows) to make sure the documents are sent to the correct address please? Is it something that can be done online etc?

Or, is this next stage a formality and we wouldn't have to complete any form etc. anyway?

Hope that makes sense.

Thank you.

Thank you DWMB2. I phoned 0300 123 5577 and got through to someone after 1 hour 15 mins of waiting.. only to be told that I couldn't discuss much with them because my wife wasn't there to confirm security! However, I was given enquiries.nottingham.countycourt@justice.gov.uk and told to email them claim number and provide the new address, which I've done.

If I'd have known that Royal Mail re-direct would be so shoddy, I would have emailed all parties much sooner :|

I shall update this thread as and when.

Thanks again.
