No real defence - DCB Legal Ltd and Euro Car Parks

icbatbh

I haven't seen that thread I'll have a look at it. 
Thanks for the reassurance

I received an email yesterday from DCB Legal stating that Euro Car Parks has instructed them to discontinue court proceedings, along with an attached N279 Notice of Discontinuance.

Thanks so much to everyone who offered advice, it turned out exactly as you said it would.

Here is the N279:

Thanks for this tag, and I've had tags from @Gr1pr and @Coupon-mad for one other case. That's it, so if you have links to any others you've read, please either show them in the discord thread (and I'll chase up), or DM me. Wednesdays are always busy so have little time to get through a usual day's deluge of posts!

Thank you icbatbh for the copy of your NoD. I can now get this counted in the DCBL Legal thread of shame. 👍

Congrats! As you say:

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

But we need you - please read this message and take time this month to do the vital current Public Consultation:

It's important that the Government hears from people like you with unfair charges who are dealing with scary court claims. That's when you win ... but most people don't know that. You found out by getting dragged almost to a hearing stage that these cases are winnable.

What a waste of court time and your time!

The link shows the two vital points to concentrate on, IMHO:

- banning 'fee' add-ons completely.

- making sure a new SINGLE appeals service replaces POPLA and the IAS which are seen as not fully independent and involved in a 'race to the bottom'.

Click through to the main thread about the Consultation.

Do not be deterred by the fact that some questions are for the parking industry only.

We are currently discussing how to respond. Please join us in doing this Consultation before it closes in three weeks. This is your one chance to make a difference re the proper regulation of private parking.
