Now on stage 7, just received an early copy of the Claimant's Directions Questionnaire saying they 'intend to proceed'. Dated 29/05/252

Updates and timeline below:
01/08/25 - Mediation Phone: Call on 01/08/25. Very simple, person was very polite and ran me through everything. DCB offered to reduce to £320, I offered £0.
07/09/25 - Notice of Allocation to the Small Claims Track Letter: Referral to court for phone call hearing 29th Oct 25. They needed to pay £27 trial fee by 01/10/25. Both parties needed to submit evidence by 08/10/25.
11/09/25 - DBC Letter lowing amount: DCB send another demand letter now lowering the amount to £100
07/10/25 - Called the Courts: Called the courts to see if they had paid the trail fee and if I even need to submit evidence. DCB had dropped the case 29/09/25.
I have emailed the courts asking for written statement that the case is now dismissed. Will post it here when it comes through.
Thank you for all the help, the pinned post and this post that i used extensively:

In my case, I did pay the £12 parking online in a timely manner. ParkingEye never allocated it (their mistake) which is why they claimed, and it still sits as a balance on my account unassigned. Do I now try to contact them to get the £12 back?1 -
Email DCB Legal and demand an emailed copy of the N279 DQ document of Discontinuance
Contact the bank to try to get a charge back or similar2 -
Nice result.
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!
However, we will need the NoD (which you need to email DCB Legal for) so that we can count your success in Umkomaas' thread.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
