Definitely give some thought to your defence of the PCN but (as well as staying the writ and setting aside the CCJ) you will be asking the judge at the hearing to strike the claim out completely, pursuant to the Court of Appeal Authority of VCS v Carr. And awarding your costs.Post from March 2025:Imgettingscammed1 said:It’s gone very far,
A few years ago I recieved a couple letters of I think it was 3 separate offences in the same location. I wasn’t there so I wasn’t bothered by them the letters that came had no pictures of my car so I assumed it was a scam.(2024) I recieved a CCJ saying I owe £749.08 the claim form said £720.12
I emailed the court CNBC Northampton to set aside the case to no reply till this day
This morning around 7:45am I had a bailif at my front door
Another thing to add is I believe the car that committed the offence maybe has cloned my plates which I made aware when I submit my set aside form as I have an insurance claim from around the same time in which an engineer was sent to look at my car and found no damage on it.I also to avoid extra charges tried to pay the fine using the phone (automated robot payment) when I initially called it was the amount of 749 but if wouldn’t let it go through so someone then answered the phone and told me it was now upped to £958 because it was escalated to the high court.The CCJ judgment was made on 16/12/24 I received the letter on 19/12/24 and called to make payment the same day so in the space of 3 days the case was escalated to the high court.
The bailiff was told I sent an email to set aside the case and he told me I now owe 1651.47
While you wait:
1. please join us to do the Public Consultation in August. We need EVERYONE to respond. Please bookmark the thread about it now. Come back!
2. send a complaint to DCB Ltd telling them you are reporting them to CIVEA for adding what you believe were false fees. They added £200 within 3 days of the CCJ instead of the capped £75:

Then the bailiff (on first visit) demanded over twice the £749 ordered by the court, instead of the capped fee for that stage. Ask them to explain themselves because you're taking this as a complaint to CIVEA.
