PaidIt

Thank you to everyone who helped me with this. Over 2 years of threats & harrasment demanding £1200 and it's finally over.

I got a court date 16/09, waited to the wire to submit my witness statement, which I know they rec'd 17/08. I got the following email today 19/08.

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,

Yet another DCB Legal discontinuation where cases are fully defended, although not so frequent an occurrence with Excel claims.  Nonetheless I will add this to the DCB Legal Discontinuation Hall of Fame thread.

Congrats - you won!

ANOTHER EXCEL ONE BITES THE DUST!

Now you've won this battle and earned the 'virtual t-shirt', please don't disappear just yet.

A final Public Consultation is coming.

We need you; motorists need you to help us make a difference forever.  What a waste of your time this was, and why should there be such a litigation culture in parking?   It's truly horrible being pursued for £100 plus false 'fees' for no reason, by an ex-clamper aggressive firm, isn't it? 

Join us in trying to end the conniving PPC and DRA 'added fees' fuelling the court culture. 

There will be one window of opportunity later this year.  My best guess is in October.

Together, we can stop the rotten parking industry from riding roughshod over the new statutory Code and the charge level caps, and otherwise bullying all motorists forever, using the regulation to gain kudos and status.

If you are not likely to pop back here every week to check, please set up email alerts for this forum and bookmark this thread (below) as we intend that one of us posts on it when the Government opens the Consultation:

Read the latest posts there.

The PPC money-grabbers have blocked the new Code by filing for Judicial Reviews.  Stopped the declared and much welcomed parking code from February 2022, which stated that added £70 false 'DRA fee' extortion was to be banned and that parking levels would start at £50.

It's on hold. Motorists urgently need it reinstated and the ban on false 'DRA fees' confirmed, to stop the rot.

This year will be your chance to make a difference, plus any other drivers you know (family, friends) who are also fed up to the back teeth with the greedy and unscrupulous parking industry and the stranglehold they have on people.

We need high numbers of real victims to make a point of responding to this final Consultation.

They wanted £1200 for 6 days parking costing £3 per day (which I had been fully paid.) How is that not punitive! 

They didn't get their money, but I've still been punished.

I'll happily do anything to stop this harassment. Count me in!

I've just posted a brief update on the consultation, in @bargepole's 'breaking news' thread, so that we all know what to expect.

No timeline indicated yet but I doubt the DLUHC will drag their feet.
