As well as the advice given by @Umkomaas (so good he gave it twice!) you could check your MCOL status page every few days to see when the defence/DQ was sent to claimant and to you.

Out providing the shopping taxi service for Mrs U and using my mobile phone in a crap 4G area. I pressed the 'Post Comment' button four or five times trying to get it to load - lucky there's only two, I could have been risking a PPR for spamming. 😄

Good job you weren't trying to pay for parking on an app on your mobile!

Exactly. The number of people who come here having suffered unreliable connectivity, only discovering the failure a few days/weeks later when a hundred pounder flops through their letterbox. And we only deal with the tip of the iceberg. 

With so many areas having poor broadband, I'm surprised there's not a PPC Yukon-style stampede to rig up pay-by-app parking systems wherever they can!

The defendant has today received a notification from DCB Legal that their client intends to proceed with the claim and they have enclosed a directions questionnaire.  They also offered to settle.  Should the defendant make a settlement offer?  

Question:  doesn't the claimant have to prove that there was some kind of loss to them in order for them to claim that an amount is owed to them?

That letter is standard blurb. Do  ignore it  ...... why on earth would you want to make an offer ??  Lookout for a DQ from the court.

You seem to have abandoned that checklist you were following when you filed your Defence.

Item 7 on that checklist is...

Items 8, 9 and 10 on that list are well worth another read.

I thought I might have previously posted the link to the following here, but on reading back through the thread, it seems that I haven't. 

So, to help keep you motivated to follow all the requirements of the court phases in order to push UKPC/DCB Legal closer to the discontinuation precipice, please have a look at the thread linked below:

@Umkomaas - thank you for that.  56 discontinuances... wow.  The registered keeper has filed the letter from DCB legal and is waiting for the directions questionnaire from the court.  Once received, I will complete that as directed in bargepole's post and then submit that and wait for a court date and a deadline for witness statement submissions. 

The registered keeper has also submitted a SAR to UKPC as well as a complaint regarding this entire process to their MP.  

Have I missed any steps?  I think I have understood the timeline of the process.

You seem to be on track.
