    Well done. Did you submit the defence as advised? DCB Legal's "decision-making team" appear to be intellectually challenged in most claims we see here.

    DCB Legal depend on the vast number of victims who have not visited this forum to either poop their pants as soon as they see an N1 claim form or else ignore it completely or just file such a poor defence that they either get a judgement by default or the victim just pays up.

    Yes.  I did use the advice on here to submit the defence.  I didn't even think I added much myself on top of that, but it worked anyway.

    It was all very easy and would advise anyone not to be bullied into paying.

    Thanks again.

    Another one for @patient_dream to put on their DCB Legal wall of shame.

    It's  @Umkomaas' thread!

    Anyway, very good news! Well done @Stinge.

    Discontinuance = win.

    ANOTHER CP PLUS ONE BITES THE DUST!

    One favour please, as mentioned before.

    We need you - as a genuine PPC victim of aggression, sharp practice and an 'extortion' attempt to add £70 - to respond robustly to the Public Consultation on the level of parking charges and banning of the false added DRA 'fee' that too many honest motorists currently fall victim to.

    It will need consumer input (powerful voices) but change is afoot. It's taken about 5 years to get to this stage:
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6333036/breaking-news-government-has-announced-the-statutory-code-of-practice-and-enforcement-framework/p1

    And then the industry threw victims' money at it and blocked and delayed it - explained here:
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/79310609/#Comment_79310609

    Please now Bookmark BOTH threads and set up email alerts on your posting profile, so that you get an email alert when we post there, as we will, once the Public Consultation opens - anticipated in a few weeks...

    We need people like you and your driving family & friends to respond in high numbers!

    You have a personal story to tell about the culture of greed that inflates parking charges to line the pockets of roboclaim bullyboy 'legal' firms, and incentivises court as a cheaper form of debt collection than the PPC making proper efforts to engage with the consumer,

    I am sure you want your voice heard to stop this happening again.


    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    You've been hanging around DCBL so much, you appear to have gained via osmosis their inability to misinterpret the evidence in front of them!
