    Get your defence in now, thereafter follow the required court procedures to the letter (no more missing deadlines!) and the prospect of DCB Legal discontinuing your case is very high. After you have submitted your defence (nothing must get in the way of that - nothing), have a read of the following thread; you could find yourself mentioned in dispatches there before too long:

    Thank you.  I have submitted my defence so fingers crossed. Mentioned in dispatches?  For being the complete numpty who missed the deadline?! ;-)  I will have a read of that thread now - thanks again. 
    Hopefully you've read that thread now and have realised none of it's about 'complete numpties'.  Rather the opposite, it highlights stars of the show who have followed forum advice, complied with court procedures, and have forced DCB Legal and whichever parking company they are representing to concede their cases and crawl back under their stones!  Everyone's a winner on that thread. Get yourself on it in the coming Spring/Summer.
    I have just posted some correspondence that I received today.  Is that what you expected? 
    Yep - normal - and what you expected, when you read the first 12 steps in the Template Defence thread.  We try to avoid newbies having to show us the basic first letters.

    Here is what most posters do when at your stage (this person knew what to expect and do because they read the first 12 steps in the Template Defence thread first post):

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • Update - as I was completing my directions questionnaire, an email arrived in my inbox which made me chuckle. DCB are trying to sell their services to me as a business owner......So tempting to reply. Other than that, they have made attempts to get me to speak with them so hopefully following their normal procedure and will hopefully drop the claim and I can join the hall of fame.... thank you all again for the advice thus far.

    I'd reply saying you will never touch them because of what their notorious group do to victims of scam private parking charges.

    The minute I get notification from the court that it is dropped, I will give them both barrels and echo your words.
