They’d have probably undertaken a cheap search via a tracing agency. Very common in the private parking debt collection/litigation arena.

Then remove the words 'and counterclaim' otherwise it looks like you made one.

I did not provide them with my number at any point. They are calling from different numbers which is how they keep getting through despite me having blocked at least 10 different numbers to prevent them calling me. Yet the weekly calls keep coming.

I'd already updated my document to read "My Defence, as submitted to the court on 1 May 2025 in the “N9B Defence and Counterclaim”[marked D2], is summarised as follows" but I'll just refer to the form as N9B, just in case. Thank you.

On a different note, should I add a note regarding the Claim Form having been signed by Sarah Ensall, who I understand is not listed anywhere as a solicitor and may not be authorised to sign such documents? I have not raised this with DCBL previously, so not sure if it can be included in this stage. Considering it is potentially an offence if she is not authorised, it is outrageous they should get away with this.

Yes, you can raise that now as a preliminary matter, so copy some words about Sarah Ensall and Mazur v Speechlys from another thread you find.

So, I've spent 3 days on the Witness Statement, writing it, rewriting it, scanning all supporting documents etc. I have it all ready to send off today. This morning I get a notice of discontinuance (N279). This saga has been going on for 4 years. Finally, it is over! Thank you so much everyone on this forum who has helped me with their insights, knowledge and experience. I cannot express how much appreciate your help. This whole situation, and it's ongoing nature, has been so stressful to me. What a relief it is finally over!

Please post a redacted picture of the N279 document below so that your success against Parking Eye & DCB LEGAL can be added to the discontinuations thread by Umkomaas and brought to the government's attention

Well done for sticking with it

Yay - as expected but a relief & win for you! However I can't shout 'AOBTD' yet and we can't count your success until we see a photo of the NoD attached to the email please, so it can be listed on Umkomaas' thread.

Please please!
