    Keep checking MCOL to see when a DQ has been posted , weekly , download the form , fill it in and email to ccbcaq email address plus the claimant , not waiting for the postal copy to arrive , do not send until you know that it's been posted

    Treat MCOL as read only , no more to do on their except to check progress

    If you do not understand this instruction , you haven't studied the newbies thread properly

    If you get a DQ from the scammers/scamlicitors, do not touch it with a 3.2 metre Bargepole. Either use the one from the court if it arrives in time for you to submit it, otherwise download one yourself and use that.

    Hi All,
    I have just received a letter from Civil Enforcement which I presume is to settle out of court.
    Basically a reduced fine and court costs.
    Is this standard procedure and should I ignore it?

    Yes. So most people would ignore it , chances are they will discontinue

    Make sure that you have done everything required of YOU !!

    Your witness statement plus exhibits plus the summary costs assessment , by the deadline on your court order , usually 2 or more weeks before the hearing

    Let the claimant deal with their own deadlines and requirements

    Is this template suitable for my witness statement  as a keeper (not the driver) who has never been to the car park?

    Yes. You'll be adjusting it anyway to suit your circumstances.

    CM did say

    Note the word based in there.
