"@hyperlime's case must have been one of DCB Legal's first ParkingEye jobs taken on, originally reported here back in February this year. Despite there being 4 PCNs in play, with ~£800 being claimed, true to form, DCB Legal discontinue against a robust defendant. Further, seems to prove that PE were offloading 'hopeless' cases to DCBL where they had little appetite/likely chance success in pursuing themselves."

Absolutely s@@ting myself that I am off to court! I have 8 of these tickets outstanding and hoped my defence would be ok for all of them (basically no requirement to show residence permit mentioned in my tenancy agreement)
So worried now

Have you seen this video?...

Just three or four people sitting round a table having a discussion.

That video was made a few years ago and most hearings nowadays seem to be via telephone or video link.

Which court ?

DCBL has already contacted you offering a deal

Now they know which court, no doubt you will receive their now famous letter offering a better deal which of course you refuse

Be patient as it is yet another daft claim

Hi all - Update on this, today I receive a NOTICE OF TRANSFER OF PROCEEDINGS letter.

Cant afford these stupid cowboys parking fees

But the CEL v Chan Appeal Judgment can be included in your WS and evidence bundle and will probably be enough to see them discontinue before the hearing.  See the example WS by @vincentvega27

Why didyou tick YES to Mediation? No-one does that and the NEWBIES thread says tick NO.  Maybe you didn't but either way you are not doing this.

Cancel the Mediation completely as the case is not suitable for mediation.

Then please re-read the NEWBIES thread as you seem very unprepared. There's a whole section called IMPORTANT: KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN that will help you be more prepared.

Nope did not tick that - I have 6 current cases of tickets against me going through and I am following the thread to the nose. Hence why I was shocked at receiving this.

Maybe your court always does it. There is a selection of courts that push Mediation as standard.

Just say NO.
