UKPC parking charge 2018 now county court claim letter

FaithfulOne

Hi again Thank you so much for all your help and guidance. 

I’ve had a Notice of Allocation to the Small Claims Track through the post (12thAug)
DRHearing on 16th Jan 

BUT I’ve also had an email (16th Aug) from Aaron Lomas? DCB legal Saying we act for the claimant our client has instructed us to discontinue court proceedings and close our file.
N279 notice of Discontinuance attached 

Does this mean it’s over?
should I expect it in a letter like everything else, or is suddenly an email ok?

Thanks all

It's over!  You may get a letter but email is ok. You can check with the court that they have received DCB Legal's letter of discontinuation.

Thank the Lord for that. Why do they decide that after going this far?

DE_612183

because they hope you capitulate and pay - when they see you have called their bluff they back down as they know they will lose - better they chase unwitting people that will pay up ( more cost effective )

Great news, DCBL chicken out again

WHY? because they take on rubbish claims especially from UKPC, and if they did not discontinue, a court spanking awaits them. There are may judges ready to spank them.

DCBL entered the scam parking industry with their eyes wide open and have ended up with them being all over the internet for all the wrong reasons.

We will see a lot more of these discontinued claims

They almost always do when people call their bluff:

Didn't you see that thread and realise that's how DCBLegal are operating?  Shocking isn't it.  This is a numbers game that works because we estimate that 90% of people who get a parking claim (that arrives at the right address) give up and pay at court stage.

People who come here, win!

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

Congratulations!

And...

...please don't leave us yet!  Stick around.

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:

And then the industry threw victims' money at it and blocked and delayed it - explained here:

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 later this year, once the new Ministers are fully appraised.

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 getting a DRA to add a pointless £70 for their own profit, to be let loose to intimidate people.

Will do. Thank you so much for all your help. I have already directed others to this forum for help.

I spoke to DCBL on the phone and got through to Aaron Lomas and found him very arrogant and rude at times. He ended the conversation with an abrasive  "Looks Like We'll Be Seeing You In Court Then" in a very condescending tone!  They did see me in court and it was a complete disaster for the clients that they boasted they collect, I mean attempt to intimidate for!!!

Great result @FaithfulOne . Please stick around to help in the Public Consultation as your views are essential to helping out millions of other victims of this unregulated industry!
