kaz197

Hi I need some help . I have done my Aos on the 2/09/24 . Im going to file a defence but im not sure what to say on there as i just parked just to eat some food at a restaurant so im not sure what my defence will be plus it was two times i parked at the same spot . Also im not sure how long i have left to file defence. Is it 28 days from the 28/08 or from the 2/09 when i did the Aos.

thank you

Its usually 33 days from the issue date listed on the claim form, so 33 days after the 28th August 

Your thread title is incorrect, there is NO CCJ at the moment, just a Court claim 

Adapt the defence template by coupon mad

With a Claim Issue Date of 28th August, and having filed an Acknowledgment of Service in a timely manner, you have until 4pm on Monday 30th September 2024 to file a Defence.

That's less than one week away. Plenty of time to produce a Defence but please don't leave it to the last minute.

To create a Defence, and then file a Defence by email, look at the second post in the NEWBIES thread.

Don't miss the deadline for filing a Defence.

Do not try and file a Defence via the MoneyClaimOnline website. Once an Acknowledgment of Service has been filed, the MCOL website should be treated as 'read only'.

@KeithP , Claim issue date is probably 28/8, not sept , deadline is next week I believe , 30th. ?

Absolutely right.
My fingers lost their way a little when I was distracted.
Post above now corrected. Thanks.

Not seeing any corrections yet. ? Still says 28th August, last month , I make it 4pm next Monday, 30th September 

All ok now, thanks

Just use the Template Defence as you see in all the other DCB Legal / Euro Car Parks claims at the moment.

They are litigating a huge batch. We have 2 or 3 exact match threads like yours each day, so go back and scroll through the forum to read a good half dozen or more. Learn how people worded their paragraph 3. Copy!

Very easy to see these claims off. No hearing needed. DCB Legal will discontinue in 2025.

Thank you . I guess i can make any basic excuse for parking there . Was going to make the payment but thanks to everyones support on here . Will fight against them . Was told i would be paying double in court but after reading the threads of here I believe i can fight them .

Did Citizens Advice or a debt charity give you that misinformation?

Just people in general were telling me . I just sent my defence to the email . Do I need to do anything on MCOL website to update or just wait for next steps like questionnaire forms to come through post . Thank you

Gr1pr

Wait for the latter, but keep referring to the 12 steps in the defence template thread too

MCOL can be used to check the claim history, but that is all you should do on there , it will show that the defence has been logged, plus sent to the claimant, plus it will show when your N180 has been posted 

Please change your thread title by editing the first post, change CCJ to ECP
