    Yep but that'll be easy. Template defence.

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

    I sent the email to DCBL on 25/5/26 quoting i am seeking debt advice, & require the 30 day hold. Now i'm home i have checked my emails/tel calls/mail(post) & have Not heard anything from anyone. My understanding was about the end of June i would receive a claim form, & have 19 days in which to respond ie defence.

    As i have Not received a claim form, does this mean they have decided not to continue ?

    If i'm wrong please advise me what is my next step. Many thanks 😇

    It means nothing at all, don't overthink this

    Wait For the inevitable N1SDT court claim pack from the CNBC in Northampton using MCOL to arrive in the post in due course

    Thanks for advice, regarding the 19 days to defend claim, that date will only begin once i receive the claim pack ?

    Daft question, but i have not requested a claim pack from anyone, thinking they would automatically send it to me.

    If that is correct, at least i can relax for a few days 🤭

    Nope, its 19 days from the issue date, UNLESS you complete the AOS promptly to extend it by a further 14 days to 33 days from the issue date

    A claim form is not automatic. They have to pay £35 and request one.


    They churn out at least a thousand a week on behalf of at least 20 parking parasite companies. You may get one or you may not.

    The Statute is 6 years from the incident date , so if the incident date was June 2023 then you are in the clear from july 2029

    Damn. Realistically what are the chances, based on your experience of these type of claims ?
