    An update on this case:

    I was given a date in November for a court hearing.

    7 days ago I received a reduced offer (about half of the "outstanding balance") with a 7 day deadline.

    Today I received a Notice of Discontinuance.

    What a waste of time. 
    Yay! ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

    Now you can tell us which PPC and which legal firm. If it was DCBLegal, please confirm and add a post to the thread by @Umkomaas about DCBLegal discontinuances, as we are counting them.

    Exactly as I suspected. it is their modus operandi to discontinue.

    Please add to Umkomaas' thread!  

    And:

    Promise us please, that like us, you will do the upcoming DLUHC Public Consultation this year, and that you have read, understood and bookmarked the latest posts on the Announcement thread by MSE_JC?

    We will post when the Govt releases their impact assessment and opens the Consultation.

    You'll need to set email alerts for posts on bookmarked threads (on your profile) and of course, read & bookmark that top thread so that you know what I'm talking about.

    VITAL that people respond to the Government about the level of parking charges and the banning of the false DRA 'fee' that feeds the toxic roboclaim firms and 'race to court' mentality.

  • @TrodneyRotter22 Thats fab news, my claim is with the same two companies - UKPC and DCBL.
    You say the court date was November, did you get to the witness statement stage?
  • I hadn't started my witness statement, although I had gathered my evidence. I was planning on starting this weekend so I didn't leave it until the last minute.
  • Thats great that you didn't have to get to WS stage. This week the DQ was sent over to the court and DCBL. I have got all the evidence together and WS nearly completed so just waiting on next steps.
