    Ok , so check your MCOL claim history and post the few details below , so we can see the progress ( copy and paste )

    Looks like the DQ stage was received and accepted by the CCBC , so now you wait for your local nominated Court ( Bristol ) to write to you , like the letter says

    Read and follow the 12 numbered steps in the defence template post by coupon mad

    Your local court takes over now , could be a while before you hear anything from them , the courts are backlogged and log jammed , never mind that covid19 made it worse

    Balnce due £254.16


    They have added what app

    ears to be an extra unlawful amount for debt collection.

    This amounts to double recovery and Judges all over the country are dismissing these spurious additions. Indeed some judges have dismissed entire claims because of this. Read this and complain to Trading Standards and your MP,

    Excel v Wilkinson

    At the Bradford County Court, District Judge Claire Jackson (now HHJ Jackson, a Specialist Civil Circuit Judge) decided to hear a 'test case' a few months ago, where £60 had been added to a parking charge despite Judges up and down the country repeatedly disallowing that sum and warning parking firms not to waste court time with such spurious claims.   That case was Excel v Wilkinson: G4QZ465V, heard in July 2020 and leave to appeal was refused and that route was not pursued.  The Judge concluded that such claims are proceedings with 'an improper collateral purpose'.   This Judge - and others who have since copied her words and struck dozens of cases out in late 2020 and into 2021 - went into significant detail and concluded that parking operators (such as this Claimant) are seeking to circumvent CPR 27.14 as well as breaching the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   DJ Hickinbottom has recently struck more cases out in that court area, stating: ''I find that striking out this claim is the only appropriate manner in which the disapproval of the court can be shown''.

    However, VCS appealed this so it may not apply in all cases, read this

    Also consider complaining to The SRA about the solicitor, if one is involved They are fully aware of the unlawful nature of most of thse additions yet persist in adding them..

    GThank you will do. Received this today. States they have included photographic evidence, but there isn’t anything included, unless I pay to see it. 
    Ignore that, they've not said anything new.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
