    You only have to change whether you were the keeper and driver or just the keeper. As it is a DCB Legal PoC, there is nothing specific in those at all. All you need to put indoor para #3 is why you were at the location on the date, if you remember. For example, "the Defendant was at [location] on [date] shopping/visiting/attending to something". The rest of the defence template covers everything else. 

    This is an example of the template defence you must use when defending a UKPC/DCB Legal PoC:

    You will expand on it all later if you need to do your WS.

    I see! that makes sense! The only thing that worries me is that this template you offer for others to use, will DCB legal recognise it from others who have used that template for their defence? does it matter?

    Yep, which is why they discontinue!

    So what? All they send out are templates...they don't even bother specifying what the alleged event was, they just chuck out claims like confetti hoping the unsuspecting victims will be frightened into paying their scam invoices and so called expenses!

    Do as advised.

    I will use all the points on the template but have written section #3 in my own words

    3. The defendant was at the XXXXXXXXXX shopping on XXXXXX and the XXXXXX. If signs were there, the signs were not clear and they were unaware of breaching any terms. As the PCN(s) do not specify, they are unaware of what terms have been breached. There was no agreement made to pay any fee between the claimant and defendant. They are unaware of any damages to the Claimant.

    Will this be okay? I understand there is a certain language and points to use.

    3. The defendant was at the XXXXXXXXXX shopping on XXXXXX and the XXXXXX. If signs were there, the signs they were not clear and they were the defendant was unaware of breaching any terms. As the PCN(s) do not specify, they are the defendant is unaware of what terms have been breached. There was no agreement made to pay any fee between the claimant and defendant. They are who is unaware of any damages due to the Claimant.

    Just to tidy it up and make sure there is no doubt in your and the judge's mind that sometimes"they" refers to signs and sometimes to the defendant.

    thanks for tidying that up for me :-) Ill send it today as you have instructed on here. Wish me luck! The sooner I see the end if this the better, don't need the stress of it all!
  • So it still goes on….I received a letter the other day of the ‘Notice of proposed allocation to small claims track’ It says I must complete the small claims directions questionnaire and send it to the court office by the 4th September. Do I need to agree or disagree that it’s the appropriate track for the claim? Some guidance would be much appreciated! I hope this comes to an end soon, it’s awful having to deal and worry about these letters thinking I’m going to have to pay out a lot of money at some point :-(
