DCB Legal Court Claim discontinued last minute

Hi all, first time poster here, but I wanted to extend my gratitude for all the information provided on the forum. After a long few months of nail biting and worry, DCB Legal have discontinued their claim against me at the last minute!! I wouldn’t have had the courage to wait it out if it wasn’t for other examples posted on here, so once again thank you for all the detailed steps to follow.

    Please post the name of the parking company, plus the location of the PCN,  plus please show us a redacted picture of the NOD that came attached to the email or letter, no personal information but it can then be added to the Disco thread by Umkomaas 

    Well done for fronting it out

    Hooray!  That's a win.

    Yes please, let's see the Notice of Discontinuation so I can record your success. Would you also be good enough to confirm which parking firm were involved please. 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

  • @Umkomaas I'd be grateful if you could add this Notice of Discontinuance to the DCB Legal thread of success.  Invoice from UK Parking Control dated 15 May 2024.  One year and one day later (16 May 2025), they discontinue.  A full year of fighting.

    And don't disappear just yet...

    ...this month, we need you: PLEASE bookmark this thread below and do the government's Public Consultation if you haven't done it yet. Their proposals are wrong. We must stop them.

    See this thread: -

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6617396/parking-code-of-practice-consultation-8-weeks-from-11th-july-2025/p1

    We need every poster to come back & complete this vital Consultation before the deadline! Just 2 weeks left but please don't rush it. You can do some then save it and come back to it as you have time.

    We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that.

    We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that.

    So to try to help, I've written some guidance on that thread.

    Any questions on the Consultation please ask - on the dedicated thread - but I've covered up to question 20 already in that first post, openly telling everyone what I'm going to put and/or what sort of evidence you might wish to use for your response, if you agree with what we'll be saying from our experience.

    Whilst your answers must of course be your own, there are vital points to safeguard motorists interests to make, that many people may not think of without our guidance because we see cases every day and we know the legal background. However, people like you have lived & breathed the intimidation, greed and unfairness first hand so your voice is needed!
