Hello all,

Hope you're good.

I've been following along with this thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4816822/newbies-private-parking-ticket-old-or-new-read-these-faqs-first-thankyou and this thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6576400/dcb-legal-parkingeye-court-claim/p3.

I've filled all my paperwork (content of defence) and sent it off via email as explained in the 2 threads i've linked above. Having returned from holiday on the weekend I had this letter in the post that DCB Legal intent to proceed with the claim with a N180 directions questionnaire attached.

I've attached a photo of the letter they sent, is this the normal procedure and what would be my (the) next steps?

Im a little lost on what to do moving forward and would appreciate any advice, please :smile:

    Follow the 8 steps in the defence template thread in announcements,  first,  so you should have been expecting that letter,  now wait for the CNBC to send you one and keep following the 8 steps 

    I would download it and fill it in , ready for emailing when the paper one arrives, as explained by me to another victim over the weekend

    The 8 steps should stop you getting lost. Go back and re-read them at each stage.

    And to you and all drivers in your family: please please the Public Consultation if you haven't done it yet.

    See this thread - bookmark it now and come back: -

    We need every poster to come back & complete this vital Consultation before the deadline! Just 2 weeks left but please don't rush it. You can do some then save it and come back to it as you have time.

    And we understand that you may need some pointers.

    I'm taking a closer look this week and we'll walk you through it. I should have all the first post 'how to respond to each question' advice ready by the end of this week.

    There are vital points to safeguard motorists interests to make, that many people won't think of/need focus. There won't be a template - the survey is for you to reply in your words - but we'll help everyone with what to focus on. 

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Hey @Gr1pr & @Coupon-mad -- thanks to you both for the advice / next steps, I will dive into it now. Also just realised I didn't blur out all my info in the photo uploaded, apologies. 

    Thanks again -- I will also look into filling out the  Public Consultation form.
