Claim Issued (DCB Legal/Vehicle Control Service LTD)

Hi all - I've not made a post until this point having followed the stickied guide.

Unfortunately a recent letter chain has now resulted in a claim being issued with a May 2nd issue date. (not related to my previous posts through the years - they have all fallen silent with no further updates).

I'm just in the process of acknowledging service through the MCOL website, but want to check something first.

I already have a government HMRC ID setup as I'm registered self employed. The claim form has been issued to the vehicle keepers address, which doesn't match the address of my HMRC account.

When registering with MCOL - am I safe to use my actual registered address (matching my HMRC account) or - must I use the address the vehicle is registered at, which the claim form was sent to??

Thanks for all the help and advice you folks volunteer, it's truly indispensable.

    All you need is a government gateway account,  then login to MCOL and complete the AOS online 

    Post the issue date from the claim form and a redacted picture of the POC on the lower left of the claim form after hiding the VRM details first

    I'd stick to the address the claim was sent to.

    You won't have a problem because it's the address on the V5, which is an address at which you can be conveniently contacted, yes?
