       Hello again! I am planning to submit it later and this is what I
       have for paragraph 3 and 4:
       --- Quote ---
       > 3. The facts in this defence come from the Defendant's own
       knowledge and honest belief.  Conversely, the Claimant sets out
       a cut-and-paste incoherent and sparse statement of case.  The
       PoC is devoid of any detail and even lacks specific breach
       allegation(s), making it very difficult to respond. However, it
       is admitted that the Defendant was the registered keeper
       anddriver of the vehicle.
       >
       > 4. I have no recollection of the reasons I would have been at
       the location as this claim is the first communication I have
       ever received on this matter.

       Everything else in the template I have kept the same (except
       adding the parking firm, defendant name and claim no on the very
       first page).
       Is this fine to submit?
       Thanks a lot!

       Hey, it is me again!
       So I followed your useful advice and sent both my Acknowledge of
       Service and subsequently my response to the CNBC.
       Today, I got a letter dated the 5th of April titled 'General
       From of Judgement or Order'. The letter states that I have been
       sent a "Notice of Proposed Allocation To Track" which specified
       the date I was supposed to return the Directions Questionnaire
       (and it mentions that I failed to do so). The problem is however
       that I never received this! The letter I received today is the
       first mention of this.
       The letter gives me 7 days from the date of the letter (so 5
       April + 7 = 12 April = Today) to file the N180 Directions
       Questionnaire
       (
  HTML https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65200dcf244f8e000d8e7183/N180_1023.pdf).<br
       />
       I have read a post on MSE on how to fill this in BUT the post
       also mentioned subsequent steps including turning up for court
       etc... is this really the case regularly? Or do the claimants
       typically give up before it gets here?

       You have 7 days from "service" of the letter. "Service" is 5
       days after the date of the letter. So if the letter is dated 5th
       April, the date of service is 10th April. So you have until 4pm
       on Wednesday 17th April to submit your N180DQ.
       So you now complete the form you have shown and send it as a PDF
       attachment to the NEW email address which is
       dq.cnbc@justice.gov.uk
       If you have any questions about the form just ask.

       You should be checking your MCOL history on a weekly basis to
       see when the DQ was sent. As soon as it showed as sent you could
       have downloaded the form and sent it off. No big deal as you are
       given extra time to submit it. It is all part of the expected
       process.
       I cannot check to see on Imgur the claim form. Please remind us
       who is acting for the claimant. Is it DCB Legal?
       Once you have returned your N180DQ, the claim will be assigned
       to the small claims track and sent to your local court. You will
       then receive directions from your local court with a hearing
       date and a date by which your WS must be filed. If this is a DCB
       Legal claim, it will never reach a hearing as they will
       discontinue just before the hearing.
       Once the claim has been allocated to your local court, you can
       disregard MCOL as the CNBC will have no further part to play in
       this.

       Thanks for the clarification on the "service".
       I never used the MCOL as I had issues getting into Government
       Gateway but will bear this in mind going forward.
       The legal firm in this case referenced is Gladstones Solicitors
       but the other one is DCB.
       Thanks again!

       Private Parking Ticket has reached court
   DIR By: bz.08
       Date: September 12, 2024, 5:18 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       So earlier this year I received a letter from the Civil National
       Business Centre County Court regarding two unpaid PCNs dating
       back to April 2023. This was the first communication I got
       regarding this (I hadn't received any letters between April 2023
       - January 2024 so I wasn't even aware of this apparent
       contravention).
       I posted about it below asking for advice:
  HTML https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/received-two-pcns-from-april-2023-with-legal-and-court-fees-on-top-but-1256/
       So I followed the advice in the above, I acknowledged the claim
       and subsequently filed my defence. Later on I submitted the
       Directions questionnaire
       (Small Claims Track).
       It has now reached the stage that a few weeks ago I got a letter
       from the County Court stating that the claimant has until
       October 2024 to pay the trial fee and submit all required
       information to take this to court or the claim will be struck
       out. A few days ago I got a letter from Gladstones Solicitors
       officially confirming that they have taken the case to court but
       asked the court to decide the case in their absence. They also
       supplied some evidence such as photos of my car at the location.
       I actually do not recall being at the location at the alleged
       time because it was so long ago and as I mentioned I didn't get
       any notification about this alleged contravention until the
       first claim form 9 months later. It may also be worth noting
       that the first notice (that I never received) was dated end of
       May 2023 which is around 6 weeks after the alleged
       contravention. I know this because they have attached it to the
       letter received a few days ago.
       This was the first time I have ever received a claim form and
       the first time I have defended myself against such a claim.
       My question is, what can/should I do now?
       Thanks.

       Instead of giving us snippets of info, please show us all
       correspondence you received from the court and Gladstones since
       submitting your N180 DQ, suitably redacted. Reading back through
       the thread, you used the long defence with the CEL v Chan
       transcripts as the PoC completely failed to specify any cause of
       action.
       When you submitted the defence, you never showed us what you put
       in as your paragraph #4 in your defence. Also, in your para #3
       did you leave it as only the keeper or the driver and the
       keeper?
       Edit: Never mind, I found it:

       If you cannot recall the event, why on earth did you include
       "and driver"?
       Did you include the images of the CEL v Chan transcript in your
       defence that you submitted?
       What is the date of the hearing and by what date must all
       parties submit their documents?
       Please confirm that you selected the option 'NO' for a hearing
       on the papers.
