Court Claim sent to old address..

I've received a Court Claim for a PCN from DCB LEGAL dated 28th May 2025.

I have only just opened it, I moved address on 19th April and the post was collected by my old estate agent.

What is my first move here to start dealing with this.

Many thanks

    You need to respond to the Claim within certain timeframes. I'm not sure what they are for AOS and defence. Someone else will advise but check for details in the pack you received from CNBC, hope you haven't missed any deadlines. Process will be same as you followed for your other Claim.

    Inform your new address for service to:
    • CNBC 
    • DPO at DCB Legal and parking company

    Claim History

    A claim was issued against you on 28/05/2025

    A judgment was issued against you on 20/06/2025 at 19:08:16

    I sent the below to DCB, CNBC and Euro Car Parks. Euro Car Parks bounced saying they do not monitor and I must submit to their website, CNBC also bounced saying it isn't being monitored.

    I looked at applying for a set aside via MCOL however that stated I could not use a witness statement or draft order, so I have now resent to Applications.CNBC@justice.gov.uk with the witness statement and draft order attached: 


    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Re: Claim Number [removed by Forum Team]
    Judgment Date: 20 June 2025
    Claimant: Euro Car Parks Ltd
    Defendant: hidden

    I am writing to urgently submit my N244 Application Notice to request that the default judgment entered on 20 June 2025 be set aside.

    At the time the claim was issued, it was sent to an old address and I did not receive the claim form or any associated documents. I only became aware of the judgment recently, upon checking my credit file and retrieving redirected post. As such, I was denied the opportunity to respond, and I am now acting promptly and in good faith to resolve this matter.

    Although my tenancy at my new address began on 19 April 2025, the claim and related correspondence were delivered to an estate agency at hidden (flat below me), and I did not receive them until recently.

    I have attached the following documents in support of my application:

    • ✅ Completed N244 Form

    • Witness Statement explaining why I did not receive the claim

    • Draft Order for the court’s consideration

    • ✅ Supporting evidence of my address change (redacted tenancy agreement)

    I am respectfully requesting that the judgment be set aside and that I be granted leave to file a defence. I would also appreciate confirmation of receipt of this application from all parties.

    Please do not hesitate to contact me if any further information is required.

    Kind regards,

    hidden


    Is this ok, is there a way I can get this set aside and a chance to defend or am I better to pay now now to avoid any more damage?

    I have received the following from DCB Legal:

    Is there now anything else needed for me to do regarding this:

    Good morning,

     

    We write further to your correspondence issued to our Client.

     

    Upon review of the evidence provided, we have taken the necessary steps to remove the Judgment.

    That's very rare. What correspondence and evidence did you send to their client?

    Have you paid the CNBC a £313 court fee to remove this judgment?

    Here is the email I sent:

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Re: Claim Number Redacted
    Judgment Date: 20 June 2025
    Claimant: Euro Car Parks Ltd
    Defendant: Redacted

    I am writing to urgently submit my N244 Application Notice to request that the default judgment entered on 20 June 2025 be set aside.

    At the time the claim was issued, it was sent to an old address and I did not receive the claim form or any associated documents. I only became aware of the judgment recently, upon checking my credit file and retrieving post. As such, I was denied the opportunity to respond, and I am now acting promptly and in good faith to resolve this matter.

    Although my tenancy at my new address began on Redacted, the claim and related correspondence were delivered to an estate agency at Redacted (flat below me), and I did not receive them until recently.

    I have attached the following documents in support of my application:

    • Completed N244 Form

    • Witness Statement explaining why I did not receive the claim

    • Draft Order for the court’s consideration

    • Supporting evidence of my address change (redacted tenancy agreement)

    • Proof of DVLA address change

    I am respectfully requesting that the judgment be set aside and that I be granted leave to file a defence. I would also appreciate confirmation of receipt of this application from all parties.

    Additionally, please treat this message as a formal Data Rectification Notice under UK GDPR. Kindly update my address on file and remove any outdated address previously associated with me:

    • Old address: Redacted

    • New address: Redacted

    Please do not hesitate to contact me if any further information is required.

    Kind regards,
    Redacted


    I have checked Money Claim Online and it still says a judgment was entered and I can't see it has been removed. How do I check this. I have written confirmation form DCB Legal as above saying they took steps to remove the judgment

    Thing is, you still have to defend or they'll pounce with another judgment within weeks.

    They are playing games with you. What does your MCOL claim history say exactly?

    That's it. This is the judgment they said they'd remove. They also have not responded to my email asking them to confirm they applied to the court to remove it. Not sure what my move is here but I can't have a CCJ they said they would remove it. 

    "Upon review of the evidence provided, we have taken the necessary steps to remove the Judgment." Is what they said

    I think you could try asking the Registry Trust to find out what's happening. I think they can.

    Thank you for this advice,

    I checked Money Claim Online again and it has now been updated with the following:

    Claim History

    A claim was issued against you on 28/05/2025

    A judgment was issued against you on 20/06/2025 at 19:08:16

    Notification that you paid the claim on 02/07/2025 was received on 29/07/2025 at 09:01:15


    This must reflect the email sent to me from DCB Legal on 2nd July saying they have taken the necessary steps to remove the judgment, so they have waited until the 29th to actually tell the court, in the meantime I've been stressed wondering what's happening and my credit record has had a CCJ - and they've ignored all my follow up's. Should they be allowed to do this? I feel like counter-suing. It still has not updated on my credit record, there is still a CCJ showing but The Registry Trust did say it can take a week or so to be removed so I'll keep checking.

    I have another CCJ that I must pay off before the 14th August, and I am concerned that more are coming, I have many parking tickets and I believe many of them are not me driving as my car has been cloned, I've mentioned this in other threads - if anyone has any advice on putting a stop to this once and for all and using my crime reference number to stop these parking companies and solicitors chasing me I would be grateful, all the chasing people for post, and constantly checking everything etc is very stressful and I'm completely fed up with it.
