Normal  -  continue to follow the steps in the Template Defence sticky  -  you are at step 2:-

"Do not be surprised to receive an early copy of the Claimant's Directions Questionnaire or the usual template letter saying they 'intend to proceed' and/or want you to 'settle'. Ignore that!"

But please do the Consultation if you haven't already, as every scam victim's voice counts.

Done.

I've received my N180 form by post. Am I correct in thinking I can email this to all parties and also will my typed name suffice as my signature at the end of the form or does this have to be a wet signature? Apologies, can't find anything on this.

I've also received some suspicious recorded calls from a number reported to be DCB legal. Is this typical?

Download the N180 pdf document from the government website,  fill it in , type your name in the signature box,  add an e signature , black ink on white paper, if possible or if you want to,  ( no scans, no pictures , also no paperwork or letters   )

Email as an attachment to the DQ email address in the defence template thread,  and CC the info@ email address for DCB Legal too, job done, one email,  one attachment,  2 email destinations 

Study those 8 steps too

Yes it's normal to get phone calls, texts, etc from the legal companies like DCB Legal

Thank you, email sent and automated acknowledgements received. Love how dcb include their details to make a payment...

An update for the thread: I've just come off the mediation call, which was completely pointless. As the call started the mediator explained they reduced the amount from over £200 to £180. I refused and explained their practice and how I completely disagree with everything they do, that I didn't receive the initial letters so never had a chance to appeal and that I'm happy to see them in court. They came back to with a lower offer of £150. For reference I offered £1, which more than covers the time I was there...

Apparently there's a 7/8 month wait for court dates at the moment. Should've took the pound.

All proceeding as normal,  no problem

Final update

At the end of last week I received a letter from the court saying that it will be struck out unless the court fee is paid by 2nd Feb at 4pm.

On the same day I received an email from dcb saying that their client is prepared to make an offer to potentially conclude the matter and to call them before 12pm on 2nd Feb. I ignored this.

The 2nd Feb came and went and I received another email from dcb on 3rd Feb informing me that their client has instructed them to discontinue court proceedings and attached the N279.

Fin.

This forum has been a massive help and I couldn't have got to this stage without it. I just want to say a huge thank you to the efforts of all involved in putting the guides together and for those who offer their guidance.
