    Here you go!

    We’ve still received a letter with a hearing date (13.08.25) and asking for evidence, do you think it’s just overlapped? As court letter is dated 19th June. 

    I have emailed the court and sent the above letter, asking this but they haven’t replied.

    You better contact them again,  phone them up and check if the hearing is vacated   ( check if the hearing fee was paid too  )

    Ps, it doesn't matter what WE think,  it matters what the court believes to be the case

    Yes, as you are a Litigant in Person,  a person defending a claim against you,  you are expected to deal with both the court and also the claimant   ( or their lawyers   )

    You have emailed the lawyers, DCB Legal,  so phone the court and ask questions

    Yet again my Notification from @Gr1pr failed, but the one from @Coupon-mad came through. 🤷‍♂️

    Anyway, thank you @Joanna244 for the copy of your NoD. I can now get this counted in the DCBL Legal thread of shame. 👍 
    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.

    Woohoo! But do stick around a little longer! Don't forget to complete the vital Public Consultation:

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

    We will discuss this more over the coming weeks but IMHO the two vital policy matters are:

    - to BAN debt recovery fees completely, making the industry pay for the dubious they 'service' of third party letters (or keep cases in house and follow the pre-action phase themselves, like several PPCs already do)

    - to bring in a new and independent Single Appeals Service (funded by the industry) to replace POPLA and especially the IAS which MUST be banned.
