You don't do it yet, too early , I said next week,  September 

Your N1SDT claim form has the claim reference top right and the password is lower down near the money claimed boxes 

You are not registering a new claim,  you are acknowledging receipt of the postal claim pack  ( but do it next week,  stop rushing   )

Got you. I'll hold off until next week. Sorry, life admin made me panic so I'll take a breath and wait.

Correct,  next week is fine,  or the week after,  but preferably next week,  a 5 minute task

Start drafting your defence based on the template defence by coupon mad in announcements,  you are adapting paragraphs 2 & 3, preferably by reading a dozen recent similar cases to use what they wrote,  for inspiration 

And edit the woefully out of date thread title too

Thank you so much @Gr1pr what's the easiest way to find defences of similar cases to adapt?

Study the first 10 to 20 pages of recent threads,  starting with this page 1 of the forum,  or use suitable search word's and filter the results to show 16th july to present day 

I rell most people to edit their thread titles to something more suitable,  which when done helps people like you to find similar cases, which is one reason why I have told you too

Just read DCB Legal threads.

And use the Template Defence. It's already written for you and pinned at the top of the forum. It is easier than an appeal and - yes - DCB Legal will discontinue in 2026.

Hope you are able to fit in the couple of hours needed to do the Public Consultation?

We need every poster to complete this vital Consultation before the deadline.

We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that. It doesn't matter; no knowledge is needed except re your own experiences so you can call out a scam industry and you'll protect millions of motorists and help change the law.

I've written some guidance on that thread. I have covered almost every question, providing ideas if you agree with our stance on things like DRFs, which we say must be banned.

Ordinary people like you are falling victim to this scam 15 million times per annum. Motorists need your voice added please.

CLOSES ON FRIDAY. Just days to go.
