UKPC Claim Form - Defence help

1505grandad

Yes  -  I did not realise there were two posters - my bad.

So, I'm moving house in about a week. (Not got the completion date 100% confirmed but all the solicitors seem to be in agreement at last. I didn't need this hassle on top!) 

Obviously I need to notify various people about this to avoid missing paperwork etc.

Here is what I assume I'm supposed to do: 

• email CCBC at CCBC@justice.gov.uk or CCBCAQ@Justice.gov.uk or both?

• email DCB Legal at info@dcblegal.co.uk and yasmin@dcblegal.co.uk (Yasmin is the legal representative on the paperwork, her email doesn't seem to be public but it's a reasonable guess)

• email UKPC at DPO@ukparkingcontrol.com

• update my registered details on the mcol site.

• update log book and license.

• get a royal mail redirect in place.

• should I add in my new address to paragraph 2 of my defence? (I intend to send it off today)

Anything I missed or shouldn't do?

Emails will be along the lines of: My name, previous address, some proof of ID and claim number followed by instructions to remove the previous address and to use the new address going forward. Should I cc in DCB Legal and UKPC together so they're less likely to "miss" it? Thanks.

Yes

Yes

If possible yes

Definitely , absolutely most definitely !! Can usually be done online

Yes

No , There is never an address in P2

No , because the UKPC one should be a separate data rectification notice directly to the DPO , which is the only DPO you are emailing

I'm still waiting to hear that a DQ has been sent or be told that the claimant wishes to proceed. I'm checking mcol daily but still no update since "defence received" on mcol and a letter in the post saying the claimant has 28 days to respond.

I realise I have no way to know when the claimants 28 day time limit to respond is up as I don't know when they received my defence.

As it's approaching 28 days since I received the letter in the post announcing this I just wanted to double check there is nothing I should be doing in the meantime, besides prepping my witness statement.

If I hear nothing by post or on mcol then it means the claimant hasn't responded yet and that's not my problem, right? I don't need to be chasing anyone up about it?

You have nothing to worry about. No need to chase anyone.

I can only suggest that you keep checking your MCOL Claim History and as soon as you see that the CCBC has sent a Directions Questionnaire to you, you are ready to download a DQ, complete it and fire it back to the CCBC, remembering to send a copy to the Claimant of course.

As the witness statement deadline looms I got the usual email asking to settle. They demanded £150, pretty much half what they were claiming. How generous.

I gave no response and right on schedule a week or so later...

"We act for the Claimant in the above matter.  

Our client has instructed us to discontinue Court proceedings and close our file. Therefore, please find enclosed the Claimant’s N279 Notice of Discontinuance for your records. 

The attached has also been filed with the Court.

We will now proceed to close our file accordingly.

Kind Regards,
Alix Johnston
DCB Legal Limited"

I assume I don't need to take any further action besides waiting for confirmation from the court. Any idea how long that should take?

A bit anticlimactic after years of hassle but right on script as you all predicted.

I'm extremely grateful to all of you for your help. You're all amazing for spending your time here giving us the ability and confidence to fight back.

I've bookmarked those two threads regarding the public consultation and I'll add to the discontinuation thread once I get confirmation from the court, if no one beats me to it. Now the stress is gone I'm more than happy to do what little I can to return the favour.

Gosh with all these last minute withdrawals it's a good job the sums they seek for costs of recovery are exaggerated otherwise they'd be going bankrupt. Wouldn't that be tragic.

That's really good to know, as we need everyone back to add voices to the upcoming Public Consultation.

ANOTHER UKPC / DCBLEGAL ONE BITES THE DUST!

Congrats: scam over.
