K, will do, will e mail it to the address on the letter of claim, thanks

No offence to anyone but the template is a little...aggressive...will that work against me if it gets to court , if it even gets that far...first timer here so be gentle

No, makes no difference at all. 
Haven't the parking firm & threatograms been more aggressive? And court is adversarial!

It is all good. Tried and tested. The Defendant is merely fighting like with like and by using that template, it sends a clear message that they are on MSE.

As above , this isn't a sack race at school or a Red nose All stars kick about for charity 

If you think thats aggressive,  take a look at Harry vs the Mail,    Bates vs P,O, ,    Rooney vs Vardy.  etc

Yes, why not? Similar words were used by MPs, as I quote in the NEWBIES thread. These are some of the comments made by the MPs in Parliament concerning the unregulated parking industry (Feb 2018 when the Parking (Code of Practice) Bill was debated:

''Rip-offs from car park Cowboys must stop''; unfair treatment; signage deliberately confusing to ensure a PCN is issued; ''years of abuse by rogue parking companies''; bloodsuckers; ''the current system of regulation is hopeless, like putting Dracula in charge of the blood-bank''; extortionate fines; rogue operators; ''sense of injustice''; unfair charges and notices; wilfully misleading; signage is a deliberate act to deceive or mislead; ''confusing signs are often deliberate, to trap innocent drivers''; unreasonable; a curse; harassing; operating in a disgusting way; appeals service is no guarantee of a fair hearing; loathed; outrageous scam; dodgy practice; outrageous abuse; unscrupulous practices; ''the British Parking Association is as much use as a multi-storey car park in the Gobi desert''; and finally, by way of unanimous conclusion: ''we need to crack down on these rogue companies. They are an absolute disgrace to this country. Ordinary motorists and ordinary residents should not have to put up with this''.

Just play the game.

When you get the claim form: Follow the easy 8 steps covered in the Template Defence sticky thread.

No link is needed to that Announcement, or to the NEWBIES FAQS thread - which you must also read post 2 of, especially the red heading IMPORTANT: KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN'. It is very easy.

See my signature below if you need a steer about how to hop straight to page one. This could not be easier once you bookmark the Template Defence thread to follow the 8 steps.

We don't want to know about DCB Legal's template reply to the LBC response (everyone gets that) or their later reply to your defence, nor the DQ, nor questions about the Mediation phone call.

All stages are covered.

What we do collect are pictures of the Notices of Discontinuance for Umkomaas' thread, so we'll see you again in the Autumn when you strut proudly back here with your win!
