DCBlegal/ eurocar park likelihood of discontinuation

I have a court hearing regarding a claim issued by DCBLegal for 2x eurocarpark overstays on Tuesday. I’ve filed a defence and witness statement etc however I’ve seen on these forums DCB Legal rarely ever go to court and always discontinue but usually before paying a hearing fee. In mine they’ve paid it and it’s the higher rate as the claim is for £500 something. They’ve also filed their bundle etc. does this mean it’s likely to go ahead or is there still hope of them discontinuing?

    But their client MAY push it to a hearing due to the figures being towards the £600 threshold

    That one seems to have been discontinued around a month before the hearing. I can’t find any examples of discontinuation close to the hearing. Living in hope though

    There's 730 discontinuations in that thread of shame,  not just one, with varying timescales between the discontinuance notification and the hearing date

    The problem DCBL has is a MISLEADING CLAIM whereby they add FAKE amounts and call it DAMAGES ??  For Euro, no damages are applicable, it's a DCBL fabrication wrongly thinking that the BPA known scam, the OSNER scam is legal. Again it's just a fabrication.

    Will DCBL take a fake claim to court because judges are well aware of their rubbish. The courts are well aware of the timewasting tactics of DCBL.  The answer is ...... will DCBL take a scam to court and be spanked whereby you can claim costs

    You DO NOT owe the amount claimed, it's a scam

    Most of the "discos" are for single charge events  -  yours seem to be more than one hence:-
