DCB Legal ParkingEye Court claim for two PCNs.

Gr1pr

The claim is the court claim 

The 2 PCNs are INVOICES,  for the alleged breach of the parking contract 

The claimant parking company has brought ONE consolidated court claim using MCOL for 2 pcn invoices of £100 per invoice, plus extra charges and fees totalling a claim for about £500, so vastly inflated

Those are the basic current facts as we believe to be true  so far  !

The 12 steps in the defence template thread,  first few posts outlines the process 

You are about halfway through the process, as the latest letter or email shows

Okay thank you.

So because I've already written the defence in response to the court claim, do you know what step I'm at on the defence template thread?

Of course I didn't know this forum existed before I'd written my defence, is this going to have affected my case and ability to have this discontinued still?

From reading the thread I believe it's steps 7 onwards ?

That email was part of step 7

You are now awaiting step 8, the defence that you submitted may affect your success,  or failure,  so your task now is to try to rescue your case with a good Witness Statement bundle and not to agree to settle unless the figure came right down,  ideally below say £120 for 2 pcns,  but you would start a lot lower,  say £60

Or you continue the process,  no offers,  waiting for a discontinuation,  or letting the judge decide,  in court 

I have already indicated that £500 is out of order,  so realistically a loss in court could be around £330 , the two pcns were £200 , so you do the maths, decide which path you are going down,  especially after you receive a court hearing date in the post

Meanwhile study a dozen cases,  like we do, to get up to speed

Thanks for the help, I will try to get up to date with a lot of the cases and see what's going on.

Stay confident. Do not worry about NOT contacting DCB Legal and NOT even thinking about paying their daft 'settlement offer'. Ignore that. 

It could well be discontinued before the hearing later this year.  Even if not, you may as well defend.

If you book ANY new holidays after you send your Directions Questionnaire, email your local court to make sure they update your unavailable dates just in case a hearing date is set for a date you can't do.

You have ONE CLAIM.

Please update your thread title in your first post, to:

Update on this claim.

Been sent a notice of proposed allocation to the small claims track. Enclosed with a questionnaire.

Hey sorry, is there a specific guide that walks through answering the questionnaire in the newbies thread?

I can't see it if there is. I understand I need to do a digital copy and email the questionnaire. Thanks.
