  • I believe I need to send a copy of the N180 to the Claimant.  They are Euro Car Parks Limited.  Do I sent it to DCB Legal generic email address =  response@dcblegal.co.uk.

    You send it to the "address for sending documents and payments if different" box on the claim form.

    Yep so just use a DCB Legal email address.

    info@ works for most posters.

    Search using Auntie Google or search the forum. At least that box tells you to whom to send the documents. 
  • is it correct that if your case goes to court and you lose, you get a CCJ and only have a month to pay in full to remove the CCJ?

    No 

    If you lose there is a judgment with a total figure to pay on it. To avoid the CCJ going onto the register you have 30 days grace period to pay the Claimants lawyers. ( or sometimes its the actual claimant. ) That figure, IN FULL , to avoid the judgment being recorded as a CCJ and therefore that CCJ would affect your credit record ( credit file. ) for 6 years if it wasn't paid, IN FULL , promptly 

    So pay it off, in full, ASAP if you lost in court, to avoid it becoming recorded and affecting your credit file

    quite a big risk or is it that most of these parking claims are easily won by the defendant?

    Yes - easily won. Most with no hearing.

    Why do you say £212 - the sum a court might award if you were in the 1% here who lose - is a big risk compared to the claim which is c300?

    It's a no-brainer to carry on and get the usual DCB Legal discontinuance before the hearing.

    Thank you, the mediation service person scared the hell out of me by saying, if you lose you will have to pay DCB legal court fees, etc.
