    Check your MCOL Claim History every week to look for updates. It is a slow process.

    And here's more info for you (and all drivers in your family) re completing the Public Consultation if you haven't done it yet. Don't be daunted by it.

    We need every poster to come back & complete this vital Consultation before the deadline! Just 2 weeks left but please don't rush it. You can do some then save it and come back to it as you have time.

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

    Thank you that’s good to know. I am a bit concerned as I submitted my defence during the time it was being updated by you lovely people here, would it matter if it wasn’t the most up to date version? I’m not sure how ell it copied over you see as it was long despite me editing etc 

    I will explore the consultation stuff tonight

    You can ensure that your Witness Statement bundle is the best possible,  and include paragraphs 4 to 10 at the end of it, just before the Statement of truth,  in order to get up to date, not a problem and not needed yet 

    The public consultation is important,  so is in the latest MSE newsletter email

    Also,  please edit your thread title to something more suitable like 

    Smart Parking,  DCB LEGAL court claim 2025

    Doesn't matter. They'll discontinue by 2026!

    I will explore the consultation stuff tonight.

    Jolly good! Link for any lurkers:

    We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that.

    So to try to help, I've written some guidance on that thread.

    Any questions on the Consultation please ask - on the dedicated thread - but I've covered up to question 20 already in that first post, openly telling everyone what I'm going to put and/or what sort of evidence you might wish to use for your response, if you agree with what we'll be saying from our experience.

    Whilst your answers must of course be your own, there are vital points to safeguard motorists interests to make, that many people may not think of without our guidance because we see cases every day and we know the legal background. 

    However, people like you have lived & breathed the intimidation, greed and unfairness first hand so your voice is needed!

    Thank you. I received paperwork early July and submitted my deference as advised…no further update on MCOL now we are in October.


    is this normal?

    I am looking to apply for a job and it clearly asks if any action has been taken against me for a CCJ and I’m not sure what to say given the outstanding status of this. Haven’t heard from anybody directly either re this claim.
    i have had direct re another PCN I missed

    Yes I understand that. The question doesn’t ask if you have one, it asks if anybody is taking court action which may lead to one.which they are?
