    Update: I have put in the SAR, and in the following discussion have established that UKPC have received the email from the McDonalds manager.

    I have also emailed DCB Legal copying a picture of the email from McDonalds and as yet I only have a "bot" reply to acknoweldge they have received the email.
    Is this a point where UKPC don't understand they they are only the monkey and that McDonalds is the organ grinder ?
    Or is it sheer incompetence BY UKPC

    They have passed your personal data to DCBL

    DCBL will not take this to court unless they want another spanking and you win your costs for unreasonable behaviour

    These stupid cases are like watching Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck dressed up in drag
  • Quick Update:

    The latest is that after pondering for quite a while DCBL have offered to settle at about 50% of the claim amount.

    I take this as a good sign, but I won't be accepting their kind offer.

    Amazing foolery, they know they won't win in court, not with the proof you have.

    Ignore it .... await your discontinuation

  • These guys don't know when to fold. The discontinuation didn't come, instead I have a claim form from the local court.

    It will come. Just keep following the required court process.

    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.

    This is how the DCBL game of poker works.

    1: They issue a court claim and you then follow the advice on here. You proceed on the basis it will go to the court

    2: They will confirm that their client wishes to proceed

    3: After a time, depends on how far away the court date is, they will contact YOU saying their client wants to deal
    IGNORE THAT

    3: As the court date gets closer, they may have another pop trying to make you pay ... IGNORE

    4: DCBL then has a choice, get spanked in court where you can claim your costs or discontinue ...... with rubbish claims like yours, ..... GUESS WHAT THEY DO ?

    ENJOY THIS GAME OF POKER, follow the leaders and most of all .. be patient and enjoy the fun

    But they can't 'discontinue' until they've issued a claim.  They now have, so you are on the final road to discontinuation.

    Great!  What's the date of issue (top right)?

    I have a claim form from the local court.
    From the local court?
    That's unusual - unless of course you are in Northampton.
    Usually a County Court Claim Form will come from the County Court Business Centre in Northampton.
    As asked by @Coupon_mad, please state the Issue Date on your Claim Form.
  • The letter is dated 07 July 2023. It is from Northampton which just happens to be relatively local to me.

    Thanks for all the other advice.
