DCBL on behalf of ECP incorrect reg

Half_way

who's car park was this, and in what device was the number plate entered?

If I had my time again I'd submit a more comprehensive defence including elements from other defences here, and include that the machine that the reg was entered on was not designed to produce any printed output that would have allowed the driver to spot the erroneous entry, and had a screen so low that it was not possible to see what had been entered.

You do get time again ... that level of detail comes at WS stage.

The above will go into your WS bundle (see the NEWBIES thread post 2 'IMPORTANT: KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN' section).

Anyway this is the urgent action this month:

FIGHTBACK ALERT:

Please do the government's Public Consultation. We need every poster to complete this vital survey before the deadline.

We have our pointless mediation next week - do we offer £20 as being the maximum set by the BPA for incorrect reg entered but fee paid, or do we stick with Yah Boo you're boring and offer nothing?

Apologies, I've just noticed from the previous page "offer nothing". Okay, move along, nothing to see here...

For clarity then, it definitely is DCBL I'm dealing with - here is one of their letters, suitably edited!

I've already posted this information on another thread, but note that the letter you've reproduced doesn't comply with Part 6 of The Company, Limited Liability Partnership and Business (Names and Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2015, made under Section 82 of the Companies Act 2006 - so you can't be sure if it's genuine!  Failure to comply with Part 6 of these Regulations is a criminal offence contrary to Regulation 28, committed by the offending legal entity and - because of the effect of Regulation 28(1) - personally by every officer of the offending legal entity in default.

It doesn't comply because the information required by Regulation 25(2)(a) is missing - the part of the UK in which it's registered.  The next time you have to write to the solicitors, you can point this out and ask them if they have drawn this to their client's attention as Halton Trading Standards might be considering criminal prosecution of the company, and its officers in default, in the local Magistrates' Court...

Okay, court date now set for 19th January. So, should I be expecting my notice of discontinuance on 18th January, being the day before we're due in court, or on 21st December, being the day before they have to pay the court fee? Do I have to prepare my defence now?

Super. I'm a bit lost about my defence though - do I need to file it before that date? Or wait until that date and only file it if they pay the fee? Or prepare a defence and just hold onto it!

You're right, I meant Witness Statement, as per Coupon-Mad's comment at the top of this page.

That deadline is on your court order,  so read it again
