    And we sincerely hope that you are au fait with the need to respond to the final Government Public Consultation this Summer?


    Will do - and sincere thanks to all who have helped with this case or provided advice on this forum, it's a seriously valuable resource and really the only thing out there that can equip people to defend themselves against this scam. 

    One last thing I forgot to mention in my earlier message - I received a couple of calls from DCB legal in the run-up to the discontinuance offering a settlement, they offered something like £240 reduced from £370 to settle the case before court. Not sure if that's a common tactic or not but thought it was worth mentioning in case it's useful info for others in future. 

    Thanks all
    Yes it's very common, usually a precursor to discontinuance, so absolutely right just to ignore.

    Hi all, some good news: C-mad was spot on, DCB legal emailed today to say they have had instructions to discontinue proceedings and close their file. They attached a copy of the claimant’s N279 Notice of Discontinuance.

    All's well that ends well!
    Did you see this one @Umkomaas:D

    Congratulations OP.
    Hadn't spotted it as I was out for most of the afternoon, so thank you for updating the Discontinuations thread. I'm happy for anyone to do that, just maintain the same format - credit the OP, the latest number centred and in bold, link to the original thread. Perfect. 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
