    It has been widely reported on this forum that CCBC are significantly behind with their caseload, three works or so!  ?When you sent the DQ, did you receive an auto-acknowledgement and did you send copy to claimant?

    Hi all, I had sent the DQ on 7th August, but the MCOL hasn't updated. It shows that the claimant filed the DQ on the same day that the DQ was sent however. Is this normal?
    Yes move on
    Brill, thanks 
  • Update: 

    Received an email for a mediation appointment. 



    Going to go ahead and decline and await the discontinuation. 

    Looks like on the DQ the mediation was ticked on “yes”. D’oh! 

    Here is what I’m planning to say: 

    To whom it may concern,

    Thank you for your email. 

    I can confirm the mediation is NOT suitable for this case and I wish to decline the appointment. 

    I believe that further clarification and evidence regarding the alleged violation are necessary to effectively engage in any form of resolution discussion. Therefore, I do not believe that it is appropriate to negotiate without all these factors. 

    Thank you. 

    Regards, 

    I want to improve this response. I mean I was never give the official invoice, nor the following one. I never had to a chance to appeal. And to be honest I don’t think I need to pay at all due to a broken down car!

    Any help would be appreciated. 

  • Can you answer "yes" to all three questions? Obviously not, so your response should be as appropriate.

    The correct salutation is... Dear Sirs,...

    Update

    Received a without prejudice email. To my old email, under my old name. 

    Tempted to say that I will accept a settle…for zero pounds!!!

    They’re offering £210. 

    I might also point out that they have outdated details. 

    Hopefully a discontinuation will be on its way soon as well. 

    Edit: will ignore this offer of course as well. But need I remind them of my actual details?

    HAHA .....  the famous DCBL offer letter ... they don't want to go to court do they ?
    Some people offer ZERO, others assume DCBL will be be paying you £210
    Won't hurt to play their silly game

    DCBL are now time limited, do they go court or discontinue ?
