    Yes, I like that (and I like using a phrase a Judge might like 'clear as mud', which is why I suggested it to someone).  The above is only good if what you are saying about knowing NOTHING about the PCN, is actually true, of course.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Good morning all,

    I have received this email from DCBL what should I do please? 

    Having reviewed the content of your defence, we write to inform you that our client intends to proceed with the claim.

    In due course, the Court will direct both parties to each file a directions questionnaire. In preparation for that, please find attached a copy of the Claimant's, which we confirm has been filed with the Court.

    Without Prejudice to the above, in order to assist the Court in achieving its overriding objective, our client may be prepared to settle this case - in the event you wish to discuss settlement, please call us on 0203 434 0433 within 7 days and make immediate reference to this correspondence.

    If you have provided an email address within your Defence, we intend to use it for service of documents (usually in PDF format) hereon in pursuant to PD 6A (4.1)(2)(c). Please advise whether there are any limitations to this (for example, the format in which documents are to be sent and the maximum size of attachments that may be received). Unless you advise otherwise, we will assume not.

    What you should do is continue reading that checklist you were following when you filed a Defence.

    For your convenience I'll repeat item 7 on that list here...

    Items 8, 9, 10 and 11 on that list are also worth another look.

    The clue is the above copy and paste.  If DCBL thought they could win, they would not offer a deal

    SO, you ignore it as a SCARY letter and YOU WAIT.

    DCB LEGAL RECORD OF PRIVATE PARKING COURT CLAIM DISCONTINUATIONS

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6377263/dcb-legal-record-of-private-parking-court-claim-discontinuations/p1

    In a a short period of time there has been 77 discontinuations

    All this is timewasting for the court system so when they say "to assist the court" .... WELL, a very odd statement after 77 discontinuations that we know about ?

    Hi everyone, 

    I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and new year. I have received an above email from DCBL after receiving this letter from CCBJ but haven’t heard anything yet from both parties. What is your suggestion please?

    Very good news! Discontinuance = win.

    Calling @Umkomaas ! 

    ANOTHER UKPC ONE BITES THE DUST!

    One favour please:

    We need you - as a genuine PPC victim of aggression, sharp practice and an 'extortion' attempt to add £70 - to respond robustly to the Public Consultation on the level of parking charges and banning of the false added DRA 'fee' that too many honest motorists currently fall victim to.

    It will need consumer input (powerful voices) but change is afoot. It's taken about 5 years to get to this stage:
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6333036/breaking-news-government-has-announced-the-statutory-code-of-practice-and-enforcement-framework/p1

    And then the industry threw victims' money at it and blocked and delayed it - explained here:
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/79310609/#Comment_79310609

    Please now Bookmark BOTH threads and set up email alerts on your posting profile, so that you get an email alert when we post there, as we will, once the Public Consultation opens.

    ...anticipated in a few weeks...July we think.


    We need people like you and your driving family & friends to respond in high numbers!

    You have a personal story to tell about the culture of greed that inflates parking charges to line the pockets of roboclaim thug 'legal' firms, and incentivises court as a cheaper form of debt collection than the PPC making proper efforts to engage with the consumer,

    I am sure you want your voice heard to stop this happening again.
