    I had my mediation call a couple of months ago. They came down from £250 to £80, but I offered £20 as a last offer and they refused.

    Since then all I have received is a letter at the beginning of January allocating the case to a local county court.

    I also have been receiving calls from from 0161 number around 5x in the last few weeks. A voicemail with a recorded/automated message has been left saying "this is DCBLegal for Mr X…we have been trying to contact you etc."

    However one of these voicemails they asked for a completely different name to mine.

    How does this land with GDPR, is it something I should pursue or just continue to ignore the calls and wait for the next letters from the court.

    Hello,

    I have now received a letter for a hearing (allocation to small claims track). This is scheduled for mid July.

    Should I wait until the trial fee deadline in June before drafting my Witness Statement - just in case the fee is not paid and the claim is struck out?

    Incidentally I have still been receiving calls from DCB Legal, including today.

    Many Thanks

    Depends on the 3 deadlines listed on the court order, so check the 3 dates and see which comes first

    They'll discontinue in June anyway. Show us the NoD when they email it as an attachment!

    Thank you @crunch89 for the copy of your NoD . I can now count your result in the infamous DCBL Legal thread of shame. 👍

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
