they will stop
and that order is right 

Thank you, and apologies if I’m asking too many questions but I emailed the collections email from dcbltd. They have not responded but they’ve just sent me an automated response.

Although you said they should stop because of the order, are they 100% aware of this fact? Should I directly contact the HCEO who made the visit?

No need.

Morning, I’ve just received an email with a witness statement from an employee at DCB legal with regards to my set aside application court date. I can post it here if you need to see it?

For the conclusion it quotes “ 26. For all of the reasons outlined in this Witness Statement, I believe that the Defendant’s application to set aside Judgment should be dismissed and the Defendant be ordered to pay the Claimant’s costs.

”

should I panic here???

No why would you. They are bound to say that

Do I need to do anything here or be worried? I didn’t really see anything similar in other threads. How likely is it for the judge to dismiss my set aside application?

I had moved addresses at the end of 2023 and started a new job around the same time. In that time, I also got a new vehicle with my new address on the V5 form around that period. So I didn't receive any PCNs from that parking company.

No reason to dismiss your application because your original reasons have not changed.

No worries.

This is your hearing for your application and DCB Legal always send that. To find cases like it, search the forum for some unusual words or specific phrase from it.

No doubt they've attached the usual Draft Order trying to wriggle out of your costs.

Seen dozens of times this year. You will find lots of examples if you search cleverly. I mean look, here's one from just last week, exactly the same; they've now had their CCJ hearing and got costs:

I opened one CCJ form issued 26/11/2024 which is amounted for £495, and then I opened another one which was issued on 04/04/2025 and that’s amounted for £1210!!! 

Remind us, do you have two applications in and one of them (the big one) was to Stay the Writ? And the smaller one is to set aside the CCJ? Did DCB Legal reply to both?

The only things to do are:


1. Prepare for the hearing well, using VCS v Carr (Court of Appeal) as the binding case law that says the CCJ must be set aside AND the claim struck out for want of service within 4 months AND you get all your costs, as the case was never allocated to track. Assume your judge will NOT know about VCS v Carr and that the Judge might start by saying "this'll be quick: good news the Claimant has agreed to your set aside." Your answer: "NO. Not quick, their Draft Order is not OK judge...." then adduce VCS v Carr & explain what should happen: see above!


2. This please, in the next 2 weeks:

FIGHTBACK ALERT:

Please do the government's Public Consultation. We need every poster to complete this vital survey before the deadline.

See this thread:

We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that. It doesn't matter; no knowledge is needed except re your own experiences so you can call out a scam industry and you'll protect millions of motorists and help change the law. 

I've written some guidance to help focus new posters on the issues. I've covered almost every question, providing ideas if you agree with our stance on things like DRFs, which we say must be banned.

Ordinary people like you are falling victim to this scam 15 million times per annum. Motorists need your voice added please.

CLOSES ON FRIDAY 26th SEPTEMBER.

Don't forget the above offer of help! He is a forum regular and a trusted expert.

You could do what this person did in response to the usual tedious DCB Legal Draft Order:
