    Please show it again properly redacted.

    Use the special defence by @sluzz in the Smart Parking Defence Group Thread. No link. Just search for that recent thread.

    Then just play the game:

    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 all 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 (BUT YOU WILL USE THE SMART DEFENCE).

    We don't want to know about DCB Legal's reply to your defence, nor the DQ, nor questions about Mediation (all are covered).

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



    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    With an issue date of 15/01/26 and providing you complete(d) the AoS after 20/01/26 and before or on 03/02/26 your defence deadline date is 4.00 p.m. on 17/02/26
    It is a Smart Parking claim therefore use the bespoke defence for Smart.  Check out the Smart Parking Group thread.  Use the search function.
