    Did you get an auto-acknowledgement?

    So glad to read that you did the Inquiry.   :)

  • Yes I received an auto acknowledgement, I also posted a copy with signed tracking just to be doubly sure. 

    Thanks again for taking the time to help, have a great week!
  • Just a quick update to say that the claim against me was discontinued, thank you Coupon-mad and everyone on the forum for all your help in getting this sorted.

    Could you please post up a copy of the Notice of Discontinuance, (redacted as necessary).
  • I actually didn't receive a notice in the post, I totally forgot about the claim until this week when I revisited the same car park where I was given the PCN. As I hadn't heard anything, I logged into my Money Claim online account, and in the claim history section, there is the following update: "Notification that the claim against you was discontinued was received on 21/12/2023 at 19:05:29"

    no email or postal notice about it whatsoever.

    Marvellous!

    This counts for the disco thread numbers, given you have it on MCOL.

    On the case. ✔️

    QUICK EDIT:

    Just re-reading this thread, I can't find any mention of DCB Legal.  The POC detailed on page 1 appear more fulsome than we usually see from DCB Legal. So would @princejambojambo be able to confirm whether DCB Legal were involved, or was the court claim fronted by UKPC themselves please?

    Perish the thought that DCB Legal be falsely accused of anything by me!  I'm sure they would want to be treated in the same way as they treat motorists! 🤪
    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.
