    You do not have a CCJ as your title suggests, and your post is too lacking in detail if you are at the DCB legal stage you are now waiting for court papers to arrive, but no big deal.

    Start by reading through the newbies thread at the top of this forum.

    As above

    There is nothing you can do to "stop this" because the game is already in progress

    You play the game and we will help you to gradually end the game before the final whistle, by following the rules and processes of the game

    Name the private parking company involved

    As abbove. DCBL are well known for sending menacing letters with threats plus adding a fake £70 which they call damages when in reality it is a feeble attempt of DOUBLE RECOVERY which courts do not allow

    As said you play the game with DCBL, refuse any offer from them and wait for the court claim. Then follow instructions from the experienced members on here

    Will DCBL ACTUALLY go to court with a fake claim ? More likely it will end up being discontinued which nearly 1000 people on here have experienced. Play the game, it's fun and NO CCJ and NO paying

    You wait for the claim form then defend (in the end, next year they'll discontinue). It costs you nothing.

    Very very easy as long as you don't ignore a claim form or go moving house without telling the scumbags.

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