Submitted defence on MCOL

RizzlerJiggler1979

Hi, my friend has received a parking fine from dcb legal Ltd, very similar to my previous one which you guys helped me with but contrary to my advice he has gone and submitted the defence on the MCOL website? Is there anything he can do?

If you and your friend study the template defence thread by coupon mad,  you would know that we are currently advising everyone to submit their defence via MCOL 

Once it's been submitted on MCOL,  its set in stone,  so it better be a good defence,  otherwise they will have to put in a very good Witness Statement bundle in several months time 

Ps, dcb legal dont issue parking charge notices,  the parking company issued it  (  and it was an invoice,  not a fine,  magistrates issue fines  )

He's OK. As long as his defence was good. Anyway, we are now advising using MCOL.

Secondly, pretty please, if you AND your friend (both) want to be part of the push to change things in future, it's very important that people like you tell the Government that:

a) you have no faith in POPLA or the IAS and that there must be the SINGLE APPEALS SERVICE that the Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019 *almost* promised. That will give a real option to resolve disputed cases out of court.

b).  THAT THE ENRICHMENT OF 'DEBT RECOVERY FEES' MUST BE COMPLETELY BANNED. DISPUTED CASES ARE NOT SOLVED BY DEMANDING MORE MONEY AND ENGINEERING A 'PAYMENT PLAN'.

c). Tell them about your experiences. Answer any relevant questions (some are only for the industry but don't be deterred).

Responses are invited to the Consultation now:
