    Just a DCA letter. You continue to ignore.

    If you get a letter before claim, then respond to that

    Read the 2nd post in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum

    Email the LoC template response to DCB Legal using their info@ email address

    Then wait for the inevitable N1SDT court claim pack from the CNBC in Northampton using MCOL to arrive in the post

    Hi, thank you for your response, please can you confirm if this is the correct response I should be using, to info@dcblegal.co.uk

    Dear Sirs,

    Your ref: [insert reference number]

    Proposed legal proceedings

    Claimant: [insert name of parking company]

    I refer to your letter of claim.

    I confirm that my address for service for the time being is as follows, and any older address must be erased from your records:

    [Insert correct address here]

    You should revert to your client because the 'propensity to pay' score in my case is zero, so any claim is hopeless and a waste of the court fee (whether 'fronted' by your firm or not). Move on to weaker victims.

    The alleged 'debt' is disputed and any court proceedings will be vigorously defended.

    Yours faithfully,

    We don't need to check template replies taken from the NEWBIES thread so please delete that and I'll delete my reply too.

    We also don't want to see their reply as it is a template. Best to keep your thread manageable because you will get a Claim Form by Spring.

    The end game! It's what you want.

    Post a pic of the Claim Form when it comes. Here's the usual advice:

    Just play the game.

    When you get the claim form: Follow the easy 8 steps covered in the Template Defence sticky thread.

    No link is needed to that Announcement, or to the NEWBIES FAQS thread - which you must also read post 2 of, especially the red heading IMPORTANT: KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN'. It is very easy.

    See my signature below if you need a steer about how to hop straight to page one. This could not be easier once you bookmark the Template Defence thread to follow the 8 steps.

    We don't want to know about DCB Legal's template reply to the LBC response (everyone gets that) or their later reply to your defence, nor the DQ, nor questions about the Mediation phone call.

    All stages are covered.

    What we do collect are pictures of the Notices of Discontinuance for Umkomaas' thread, so we'll see you again in the Autumn when you strut proudly back here with your win!

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