letter of claim from dcblegal. Which they discontinuance

Eminowa

A quick update to the D.Q questions as they have slightly changed.

A1 = Say NO to mediation (they want the whole amount, you want to pay them nothing, so no scope for mediation. This will not go against you). Mediation is run by a commercial company on behalf of the courts and their success is measured by how many cases are kept out of court. They are not interested in the merits of the case, only whether you will pay or not. So say No.

B = fill in all the details, your name, your address, etc. This is the address that all the paperwork will be sent to. If you are moving home within 6 months make sure you have mail redirection in place. You will get a default CCJ if the paperwork doesn't get to you as the Courts see it as your responsibility to give a correct address.

C1 = YES to small claims track – this is the limited costs track for claims up to £10,000 in value

D1 = Do you consider that this claim is suitable for determination without a hearing, i.e. by a judge reading and considering the case papers, witness statement and other documents filed by the parties, making a decision, and giving a note of reason for that decision                                                Yes              NO

if No, Please state why not.

E1. At which county court centre would you prefer the small claim hearing to take place and why?

E2 = NO to expert evidence (this relates to medical negligence cases and suchlike)

E3 = 1 witness (that’s you) (or more if you are going to get another person to provide a statement)

E4 = Put down the dates of any pre-booked holidays, NO to interpreter (unless you need one)

E5. Do you believe you, or a witness who will give evidence on your behalf, are vulnerable in any way which the court needs to consider?
if yes Pease explain in what way........

This thread - New Questions on the N180 Form - should help.

Those new questions were introduced nearly two years ago.

defence filed on the 8/03/24
DQ filed on the 21/03/24.

How long should it take for DCBL to respond to my defence if they decide to proceed to court please?
because i haven't heard from them at all.
The deadline for exhange of DQ s the 8/04/24. fingers cross, lets see what happens from now till the 8/04/24.

They have responded to your defence because the CNBC has issue the DQ to you, which you filed on 21/03/24 from your post - unless you mean the claimant's DQ filed on that date.

You won't see anything more from DCB Legal in response to your Defence until you receive their Witness Statement (are you preparing yours?), ...... but they might well discontinue beforehand. Keep going through the processes you have to, in order to meet court requirements - see the 12 points of the Template Defence sticky.

we are suppose to exchange DQ between ourselves and also send to the court.
The DQ i recieved was from the Court directly. I have filled it in and sent to DCBL and the court.
Do i have to send a DQ to the parking company also?

Eminowa

i haven't recieved any DQ from DCBLegal

It doesn't matter.  DQs are something & nothing.

No you don't engage with the Claimant when they choose to use a solicitor.

Eminowa

ok thanks. I will start dafting my witness statement now.

Eminowa

with my case. there was no windscreen ticket on my vehicle and there isnt no automatic camera plate number recognition on the site. 
My car was photographed just parked with any windscreen ticket. I only recieved a letter saying i owe money with a photo of my car without any windscreen ticket. it appears my car snapped closely with a phone by someone and forwarded to the parking company.
in this instance is there anything i can use for my witness statement as evidence saying no windscreen ticket was issue and the car was bare, how do we know i was ticketed without evidence, like my car coming in and out of the site or a photo showing windscreen ticket
