Received letter that they assigned Reading Court.

Fine. And a hearing date?

No dates it's just letter telling me that your case moved to Reading Court "Notice of Transfer of Proceedings" with Date 1st September.

I'm in the Reading area and have already helped another win a parking case in this court ... WE WON with £95 costs

As this is DCBL with their fake add-on and a statement of truth by Yasmin Mia which is untrue, I'm happy to assist and go to court with you. Don't worry, I don't charge, my reward is to watch a judge spank these bods

Please do send me a PM

Thanks Mate, will DM you.

It's no problem, I missed out on two DCBL cases because they discontinued.  I seriously want to know about their statement of truth signed by Yasmin Mia and who they are claiming damages for ??

Just to double check, I do not have to submit document to the court until a date is assigned to my case, right?  At the moment I got assigned Reading Court but no date was given yet.

When you get a hearing date, It will usually give you a deadline by which all documents must be submitted to the court. It is usually no less than 14 days before the hearing but it can vary so read the order very carefully.

However, as this is a DCB Legal filed claim, you will include the CEL v Chan appeal judgment very early on in your WS so that if this ever actually reaches a hearing, it should get thrown out. Then again, it is much more likely that this will be discontinued before then.

As Uncle Tom correctly says .....CEL v Chan is the key but you must understand why ?

Choices for DCBL is having their claim struck out and you can claim your costs leaving DCBL with egg on their face or discontinue and still get egg on their face.

Update: Finally got the date for the Court - 14th March, and I guess DCB need to inform court by 14th Feb if they are continuing.

No, they have already informed CNBC they are continuing but they will have to pay the hearing fee and provide a witness statement by certain deadlines which may be on your notice of allocation.

And so will you (WS bundle, no fee!).

Please find time to do this new Call for Evidence this month:

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/80375249/#Comment_80375249

The Committee invites evidence on:

• 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 of Practice Call for Evidence:

https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/private-parking-code-of-practice-call-for-evidence#:~:text=The%20call%20for%20evidence%20is,help%20the%20decision%2Dmaking%20process.

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 want court). It should be a last resort but litigation is the first aim of DCB Legal.

They state in various articles that bulk litigation is their company aim.

Tell the Committee about your claim and show the Claim Form to the committee.

Show them the other evidence you have: threatogram letters? and that the claim is a hopeless waste of time, and based on an unfair charge that you would have appealed if there had been an ADR. 

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 by firms making a mint (and it's not just the parking operators).

Please tell the Committee that the private parking legislative framework needs to be removed from the county court altogether.  To protect consumers from unfair CCJs like this, which are rinsing millions p.a. from the pockets of ordinary motorists and ruining credit ratings.

Ideally, parking cases should NEVER go to county court and should not be able to affect people's credit rating.

Please add your voice.

This is a hidden (unknown to many people) scandal affecting hundreds of thousands of people every year.

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