Should I fill out the form that they sent

What 'form'?  Who are 'they'?  You need to be a bit more specific, as if we guess at what you're meaning, and get it wrong, you're picking up the tab!

The N180 form.

And 'they' being?

Coupon-mad

I think you need to re-read first 12 steps in the first post of the Template Defence announcement thread.

That already tells all newbies about the difference between the N180 copy sent to you by the solicitors, and the copy you will get from the CCBC.

Hello All, I would like to report a success story. Having submitted my N180, I then received the court ordering my case to down the small claims track and asked me to respond by 14th December, providing evidence to present. dcbl then contacted me via email to offer a final settlement of £150, to which I did not reply. This morning, several days later, I have received an email from dcbl saying that their client had instructed them to discontinue court proceedings and have attached a signed N279 discontinuance notice, which they have also filed with the court.

Thank you for everyone's help, especially coupon-mad, Umkomaas etc. It was worth the fight.

Nice one. As predicted. That makes your case the 70th one since August, and you are now included in the DCB Legal thread of shame.

Yeah, I'm sure that without following the newbies posts and then asking them for answers to lots of obvious and irritating questions, I'd have been taken to court and lost. I shall have a nice shandy or two to celebrate whilst watching the footy tonight

The infamous discontinuation legal strikes again

Woohoo, I've always dreamed of being added to that list.

Woohoo! Indeed!

ANOTHER DISCONTINUANCE!

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

And we sincerely hope that you are au fait with the need to respond to the final Government Public Consultation?

Looks unlikely to be published before Xmas, but keep your eyes peeled in early 2023.

We all need to ram the nail in the coffin of the false £70 'DRA fee' add-on, that actually funds the court claim and toxic CCJ culture, as well as the DRA gaslighting of people.

Just checking you are among those ready to respond to the questions as you have personal experience of how this crap feels?

Please come back here when it opens, and you can make sure you don't miss the Consultation:

If you are not a regular reader, to be alerted you'll need to bookmark the thread by MSE_JC at the top of the forum and enable (on your profile) email alerts for bookmarked threads.

Then join us when the Consultation opens.

Sorry if you knew all this already - I had no time to check back through the thread.
