Hi everyone, just an update!....

So they sent me a court date and so I was up to the stage of my witness statement and gathering my evidence when randomly I have received a letter from their solicitors saying that they drop the case.

Wooohooo we won!!!

I just want to say thank you to this forum and everyone for helping.

Nicely done, a predictable DCB Legal discontinuation. I'll include you in the DCB Legal discontinuation thread. Thanks for your update. 👍

Yay!  Great stuff!  Discontinuance = a win.

CONGRATS!

Please find time to do this new Inquiry this coming week or so:
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/80375249/#Comment_80375249

The Committee invites evidence on:

• What the current level of delay in the County Court is

• The ways in which the County Court engages with litigants in person, and how this could be improved

• The causes of action giving rise to claims in the County Court

• What future reforms to the County Court should be considered.

Please tell them that private parking firms and their bulk litigators are the problem as far as small claims delays are concerned, as they dominate court lists.

Parking claim numbers are rising every year and will make up about a third of all small claims in 2023, based on the 2022 figures that the MoJ divulged in the DLUHC's recent Parking Code draft Impact Assessment.

The MoJ must now be informed to urgently separate parking cases with a new pre-action protocol, requiring use of ADR instead of inflated debt demands and bulk litigators who actually want court.

Court should be a last resort but litigation is the first aim of firms like DCB Legal.  They state in various articles that bulk litigation is their company aim.  And they routinely discontinue in the rare cases where people are brave enough to defend.

Tell the Committee about your claim and show the Claim Form to the committee - in fact show them the Discontinuance too, as evidence.

And show them the link to Umkomaas' thread of over 200 discontinuances by DCB Legal in just over a year.

The whole system is a nasty joke and the courts (and consumers) are being used and abused.  Ideally, parking cases should NEVER go to county court and should not be able to affect people's credit rating.

Please add your voice.

Interested parties have until 14 December to make a submission to the committee.
