I received a letter from the Civil National Business Centre from DCB Legal Ltd

I'd remove this as it's repetition and the fact it's a disused building is irrelevant (their land is not there as a free 'car dumping ground' which is how it sounds if you say things like this):

"The car park gates were permanently closed, and the building doesn’t look to have been used in a long time."

DCB Legal still filing and serving claim forms pleading ‘damages’. Absolutely astonishing. The courts really do need to start striking out these hopelessly misconceived claims at the allocation or directions stage.

@Coupon-mad thanks for all your help, I'll get this changed and then submit. Appreciate it!

Evening all - Please can you help me further with this issue. This is now causing me a great deal of stress.

I submitted my defence to the CNBC response email on 12th July, my deadline for submission was Monday 15th July so I did this in time. See below the auto reply I got which I assumed was sufficient.

I've today received the below judgement for claimant (in default) stating I haven't replied to the claim form. What am I missing here please?

Can you please show us your MCOL Claim History?

@KeithP see attached the status. Does this mean the judgment for claimant was sent prematurely and they received my defence and subsequently applied to set aside the judgement?

Hopefully this is ok for now?

Appreciate your help

KeithP

From that Claim History it looks like the CNBC failed to record the fact that you had filed a defence.
Their failure allowed a Default Judgment to happen and that Default Judgment notice to be sent to you.
It looks like they have taken steps to remove that Judgment and have now properly recorded the filing of your Defence albeit at a later date.

All appears to now be in order but you might want to ring the CNBC - number on your Claim Form - and confirm with them that that is the case.

@KeithP thank you very much for your prompt response. I will call them on Monday, really appreciate your support to date!

Keep checking your claim history so you know when the CNBC have posted your N180 DQ to you too, perhaps checking twice a week, Tuesday and Friday. ?

As KeithP says, they messed up, they corrected their mistake, seems common at the moment, probably due to a backlog of work

You should still complain to the CNBC because of the distress and anxiety receipt of that order has caused you. This is all part of a pattern of incompetence at the CNBC, no doubt fuelled by understaffing and abuse of the system by roboclaimers. Even though they appear to have acted independently to correct the error, that does not absolve them of the distress it has caused you. It is not unheard of them compensating victims of their errors ~£250.
