Received letter from debt collector for private parking fine, PCN sent to wrong address

ProfessorBean

I have now received my 'Notice of Allocation to the Small Claims Track (Hearing)' which will take place in May.

Having read through it, it looks like all I need to do is send my defence and any documents I may use as proof during the hearing. Is that correct or is there anything else I need to know?

No, clearly you don't resend your defence.

You need to re-read the section under the RED CAPITALS heading in the second post of the NEWBIES thread. You seem to have forgotten to look there first & forgotten about WS stage altogether.

Did I just win?

You did 🥳 and if you post your N279 notice you'll be added to @Umkomaas growing list of DCB Legal court discontinuations. 

Govt has still not addressed this industry's 'rip-off' practices. We must keep demanding they do. Please write to your MP and sign the parking petitions.

Just post it in this thread, obviously redact any identifying personal data, and I'll then get the details of the discontinuation over to the DCB Legal Discontinuation thread of shame!

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you on the forum. I made a mistake (through a lack of knowledge) in 2022 and since then have had 4 debt collection 'firms' try and take £300+ each off me. I have won 3 of 4 so far thanks to your support. you guys are awesome
