Hello again! I am planning to submit it later and this is what I
have for paragraph 3 and 4:

> 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.

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.
