Just use the Smart Parking Group Thread defence. Do not show it here ...please no!captainzorro said:The issue date is 13 Jan 2026. I shall take a look. Thank you very much.
No further advice will be needed until you get a hearing date in the Summer and you don't need to write anything yourself in the defence. It is written already.
The claim will end up discontinued before the hearing this year. Just play the game: follow the easy 8 steps covered in the Template Defence sticky thread (albeit you are using the Smart Parking special version).
No link is needed to the NEWBIES FAQS thread - which you must also read post 2 of, especially the red heading IMPORTANT: KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN' - nor will we provide a link to the Template Defence Announcement thread.
See my signature below if you need a reminder how to hop straight to page one but I see you've been posting for years, so this could not be easier once you bookmark the Template Defence thread to follow the 8 steps.
We do not want to know about DCB Legal's reply, or the DQ, or Mediation (all are covered). What we do collect are pictures of the Notices of Discontinuance for Umkomaas' thread, so we'll see you again in the Summer/Autumn when you strut proudly back here with your win!
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
