    Morning all. For anyone interested, i've just had my mediation call. DCB Legal reduced the money they wanted off me twice but still want just shy of £100 off me. I refused flatly. As a reminder, my case is based entirely on the fact that their app didn't recognise their location as their equipment was only installed the previous day. Therefore, because their system wasn't operational, I couldn't pay. They countered that in light of that, I should have parked somewhere else. The Car Park in question is at my Doctors surgery. I wasn't going shopping so did not have a choice of multiple other Car Parks. The fact they have offered that argument, tells me they are aware their system wasn't functional. The mediator reminded me of potential additional costs at court etc. if I were to lose the case. Fingers crossed I won't. Thanks for all the continued support.

    It would have been DCB LEGAL, not Ipark

    The case will now progress in the usual manner

    Please edit your thread title to something more suitable like

    I-PARK, DCB LEGAL court claim, post mediation stage

    "The mediator reminded me of potential additional costs at court etc. if I were to lose the case. "

    And with that, the Mediator lied.

    People who lose, risk paying £212 all told, unless you get a hopeless judge, or you fail to attend. As the NEWBIES thread tells you, it's far less than the Claimed sum!

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
