    Thank you Keith P & Coupon-mad.

    The correspondence is from DCB Legal

    Apologies I was incorrect with my dates!

    1. So my evidence bundle must be sent to both by 28th July. and if the court has not received from them DCB Legal £27 or a properly completed application by 18th August then the court will strike out their case against me.

    2. It states that I must supply them with a witness statement listing my evidence etc but I don't have any evidence? so I don't know how to respond other than to send them my witness statement again?!?
    1. Don't rely on them not paying - they will, especially if you do not submit your WS and Evidence Bundle. 

    2. What do you mean 'send them my witness statement again'. Do you mean your 'Defence'?  That's not your WS. Have you looked at the example by @aphex007 as advised by @Coupon-mad above. That will show you what to write and the evidence you will be able to submit. 

    As things stand, this will not go away. If you don't submit a WS and EB, DCB Legal will file for judgment, you'll have a CCJ against you with full costs awarded, and if you don't pay by due date, your credit will be hog-tied for 6 years. Do not let that happen as it will have such a devastating affect on your financial well-being .
    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.

    @Chilli_Nugget, just prepare your WS as described above. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened. You are playing the game and UKPC/DCB Legal are hoping you'll poop your pants, capitulate and pay into their scam like so many other gullible victims.

    When the bottom-dwelling duo realise that you are not one of the gullible pant poopers (are you?) they will discontinue.
  • THE WAR IS OVER!!!!!
  • The last day before deadline and they have sent me the above email saying they have discontinued the case!!!!
  • Am I right to believe them or could this be some kind of trick??

    We act for the Claimant in the above matter.

     

    Our client has instructed us to discontinue Court proceedings and close our file. Therefore, please find enclosed the Claimant’s N279 Notice of Discontinuance for your records.

    The attached has also been filed with the Court.

    We will now proceed to close our file accordingly.


    Well done. Yay!

    A discontinuance = a win.

    ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

    Calling @Umkomaas to add you to the list...

    And we sincerely hope that you are au fait with the need to respond to the private parking Consultation and draft Impact Assessment?

    Anticipated from the DLUHC THIS MONTH. 

    We all need to ram the nail in the coffin of the false £70 'DRA fee' add-on, that actually funds the court claim and toxic CCJ culture, as well as the DRA and roboclaim 'legals' gaslighting of people.

    Please come back here when it opens.

    If you are not a regular reader, to be alerted you'll need to bookmark the thread by MSE_JC at the top of the forum and enable (on your profile) email alerts for bookmarked threads.

    See you back here in August we hope, if you and your motoring family want to stop this litigation rush by banning the £70 add-on fee that disproportionately funds the roboclaim firms.

    It will only be open for a few weeks.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Well done, believe them, they have to file this with the court

    Tell your MP about this firm and ask him/her to investigate this with the MoJ

    You are now number 164 on the DCBL discontinuation thread.   No doubt there are many more we don't know about.  That means that they sent 164 N279 Notices and wasted the time and money of courts around the country
