Recent CCJ - Advice Needed

cda17

I followed up with an email 3 weeks ago and still no reply.

FINALLY A REPLY! Only took them 14 weeks !

They said I didn't submit the N244 application and the fee is now £314 (£10 more than I paid).

The N244 Application form is clearly attached to my original email along with all my other documents supporting my case. I shouldn't have to pay the increased fee now as the increase was made after my application was made... surely?!

3 months and this is the reply I get, can they not read the names of the attachments I sent 

I replied with another copy of the N244 application form. See you in 14 weeks for my next reply...

The fee has been £313 for a couple of years.

It was £303 from 1st May 2024 to 31st March 2025.

Hello all,

Just thought I'd write a little update. I paid the extra £10 to "top up" my £303 payment I initially made on my application, and re-sent my application and all relevant attachments etc. This was back in September 2025.

Should I be worried that I've not heard anything back whatsoever? Not a single correspondence on email or letter received.

Unsure what to do really, feel like I'm just fighting an uphill battle that is impossible. I already have the CCJ on my credit file now and has been there over a year. CNBC may as well be none existent. Just £313 down, lots of wasted hours preparing the supporting documents, and CCJ on my record. Great.

Thanks,

c

why dont u just pay. Its only £300. When you read this letter more closely you can see there was no court decision yet made, no name of the court was mentioned. If there is a CCJ , i dont think it can go on your ie experian, credit history file , as that one they are only designed to hold record on consumer credit & not parking fees.

The above advice is completely wrong.

This OP has a CCJ, as do a couple of hundred thousand people every year, as a result of the aggressive greed of the rogue parking industry.

If the OP had just paid, it would cement that CCJ on their record for SIX YEARS.

I have followed up multiple times on email and they never respond. I just get the usual automated email response. I'm convinced everytime I email they just put my submission to the back of the queue. I'm ringing them today to speak to them because it has been 11 months since my initial submission back in April 2025.

What did the CNBC say now?

Email a complaint about this to HMCTS complaints team (Google it).

UPDATE:

I submitted a compaint to HMCTS as per recommended (Thanks @Coupon-mad) and coincidentally got a letter in the post the same week saying I have a court hearing date in August… only took 16 months!

Yesterday, DCB Legal emailed me and offered to agree to a set aside (see pictures below), ahead of our hearing in two weeks time. I asked them to do this last year and they agreed under the condition that I pay them the inflated fee they had racked up against me. Now that I've had to pay £313 for this hearing, and will be trying to claim back my costs against the claimant, they agree to do the set aside all of a sudden; which I wanted last year! If I agree, I won't get my £313 back so it defeats the purpose now.

I am a little nervous to go a represent myself in a hearing. I've relied heavily on the help from this forum.

Do I reply and say I'll accept it they pay for £313 fee as well or?

Is it worth the risk of not accepting?

If I accept, do I still have to go to court?

Any advice on their proposal is appreciated.
