ECP DCB LEGAL claim 2025

  • Looks like DCB Legal may be getting antsy. Missed a call from them today as they want to speak to me. Presuming they're wanting my evidence outside of a WS which they will not get. Won't be calling them back either

    All standard stuff,  their M.O. is to harass people into capitulating before the hearing fee is due 
  • Just received the N180 from DCB Legal, before I send them my own and to the CNBC do I wait until MCOL states one has been iussued to me. Reading the relevant threads this seems to be the case but wanted to double check.

    Correct,  although I suppose that you could download the N180 DQ document,  fill it in and email it,  which you will do anyway,  no paperwork is involved 

    So either wait until MCOL says its been posted,  or do it now and keep checking your MCOL claim history to ensure that its been logged 
  • Just an FYI. My mediation is booked in for 06/01/2026. I'll report back with the outcome afterwards.

    Outcome is known
    you say zero offer when they start the call and tell them thats it, claim will discontinue
    and say goodbye
  • N180 sent on my case too, had no correspondence from dcb prior though

    Just had my mediation call. DCB Legal were so kind in offering me a reduced sum of £190. I kindly gave them my own offer of £0. See you in court (if it comes to that). Their argument if it does go to court will be that of the fact that they believe I didn't enter my reg correctly which my argument will counter that as to why the machine allows me to enter an invalid registration number. See if it gets thrown out before it comes to that

    It won't get thrown out.

    DCB Legal will discontinue in a few months before they have to pay the hearing fee, then you can proudly reply here with a copy of the NoD (please) so your success can be counted on Umkomaas' thread of 750+ examples.

    Yeah that's what I meant by thrown out, discontinuance is most likely now if not definite
