If it's an in-house ParkingEye claim for £130 plus court fees, they won't rush to get judgment on MCOL. Their own team aren't that quick out of the traps.

But if it's a DCB Legal claim for ParkingEye, they WILL go for judgment by Tuesday.

This is why we stopped advising emailing defences (advice changed 3 weeks ago to a shorter template defence and submitting it on MCOL). The CNBC is too slow and disorganised and last minute emailed defences are missed. If you have the latter, it will save you a headache (possible CCJ having to be unpicked) to just put the new defence in on MCOL this weekend. That will be your defence instead of the emailed one. Make sure you submit it.

Hi Coupon-mad,

 I submitted my defence on MCOL on Monday as I didn't see this message due to travelling at the weekend, may be i have missed the deadline :-( 

You were in time.

DCB Legal claim, or not?

it is DCB Legal claim that filed the claim and no, not heard anything from them this week.  I did receive a letter in the post today from HM Courts & Tribunals Services today acknowledging my defence, where they state that the claimant may contact me directly to attempt to resolve any dispute informally and should the dispute not be resolved they may inform the court they wish to proceed.  

Guess that's standard protocol?

Yep. Read the first 8 steps. All is explained in the Template Defence thread.

But it is a national disgrace and a drain on Society, in terms of money and anxiety.

If you 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. As long as it is independent and impartial (and only ONE appeals service, not two involved in a race to the bottom) 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 OFFERING A 'PAYMENT PLAN' THAT ONLY DUPED VICTIMS PAY. DRAS LIKE DCB LEGAL MAKE NO MONEY IF THEY HANDLE DISPUTES IN THE SPIRIT OF THE APPEALS CHARTER, WHICH IS WHY THEY ALWAYS PLOUGH ON TO COURT CLAIMS AND CCJs, RATHER THAN OFFERING REAL RESOLUTION AT PRE-ACTION STAGE.

c). Tell them about your experience and the complete and utter waste of court resources caused on a grand scale by DCB Legal,
