    Have had mediation call, offered zero. Asked mediator who was negotiating for dcbl and they do not appear on their list of staff. Waiting for court allocation.

    Have received letter from local court asking for copy of Defence. At this stage do I just send what was submitted to MCOL?

    Court date received for mid March . After reading up here it seems I may now be able to use the Mazur argument as initial claim was made by S E . Should I bring this up with DCBLegal or wait till court

    Have you submitted your Witness Statement yet?  If not, you need to add Mazur to it and that will go to DCB Legal and the court.  Recent examples where posters have used Mazur are @mtrolley123 and @maxim024

    Nope,  do not contact anyone,  follow the process 

    And, you are dealing with DCB LEGAL,  not DCBL,  important difference , they are NOT the same 

    DCB LEGAL are acting on behalf of the claimant client,  Parkmaven,  so are likely to discontinue before the hearing fee deadline date ( stop looking for shortcuts. )
