    The latter, ignore and wait 

    The so called balance is pie in the sky, not valid unless the judge decides a figure, in court, if there is to be any balance at all 

    The alternative is to make a drop hands offer of £0.00 , each side walks away bearing their own costs 

    As mentioned above, PE would be pursuing this in-house if they thought it had legs, not handing it over to the chancers

    So I take it they've blinked and I should expect a discontinuation?

    Given that there are getting on for 400 in the Discontinuations thread by Umkomaas, what else do you expect. ?

    Paddy power won't be taking any bets. !

    Please post a redacted copy of the NoD so that @Umkomaas can add this to the almost 400 similar cases

    Well done  -  reminder of content of your opening post:-

    I was about to quote the same!

    ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

    Easy stuff.  ParkingEye farm out weak claims in bulk to DCB Legal. It's a numbers game.

    Please do post a screenshot of the NoD, so you can stand up and be counted on the disco thread!
