    Yes, you haven't yet told us which Claimant. It's not DCB Legal. Is it Smart Parking, G24, UKPC or who?

    And re the below, you should do one defence first (for one of the claims) then do the other a week later, adding the Henderson v Henderson wording about duplicate litigation and cause of action estoppel (search the forum).

    Issue date: 27 MAR 2026 

    I actually have 2 claims for the same site same offence different days with the same issue date.

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

    Did you defend both claims? Good!

    I think you haven't yet told us which Claimant (it's not DCB Legal).

    Hello

    The company is Smart parking limited.

    I did defend both claims.

    Great! You were in time then.

    It (both claims) will be discontinued before Xmas, so go through the motions as per the simple first 8 steps in the Template Defence thread. Pick up where you left off, regardless of what you put in defence.

    See you in 6 months as no help is needed until you get a hearing date x 2, then they'll discontinue, which is their MO. They don't like defended claims.

    I hope that you meant the DQ email address for the CNBC in Northampton, because no court is involved yet, but sill be once they deal with your N180's etc
