    I'm back, jet lagged but suitably rested & tanned, having been to exotic climes.

    Anyway I would not email it. And nor do you add your name. Your Dad's defence looks fine.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • I submitted it by MCOL, it's been accepted, now just a waiting game 
  • Just an interim update, apart from the defence on MCOL, the other party are not responding in any way. What is a usual timeline for response from the court and them?

    There probably isnt one, but perhaps 4 to 8 weeks,  so 2 weeks is nothing 

    Keep waiting,  keep checking your MCOL claim history 

    Patience 
  • So, new development, DCBL have sent through their completed N180 form, I expect to try and add pressure. Is the next step to wait for the N180 to arrive from the court? I have checked on MCOL and nothing further has been lodged at this moment. 
  • If you use Gmail get it done and do a schedule send for Friday.

    Should I submit the N180 even though the CNBC hasn't sent the actual one through yet? 
  • Thank you to the forum seniors for your help so far. The DQ has been submitted with automated response emails from CNBC, DCBL and smart parking. I shall keep you updated on further developments. 
  • So no further response on MCOL despite the DQ being emailed back as their instructions. Should it update on MCOL or is that redundant as regards the process now?

    It will do, perhaps 10 to 14 days after submission,  check next week or the week after
