Hi @b789, @DWMB2, @HCAndersen
Just out of the blue, today I recieved this email:
HTML https://i.ibb.co/WpM3CMmZ/nexus-Discontinued.png
Turns out their case probably appeared to have a bit too much
holes in it.
Also (as my keen eye recalls you insightfully saying) it appears
you were correct; - they will likely not pay the fee and
discontinue the case.
Would really like to know the reason though, just for my sanity,
and them/DCB chasing me up for hunderds of pounds over two
years, pestering my family with numerous threatening 'legal'
letters, and most importantly - all our time and the three
pages of storage taken up in this FTLA forum !
I do remember your cheeky advice that I should reply back to
them saying: "I am willing to consider a resolution. I would be
prepared to settle this matter in full for £0.00...". That was a
nice touch :)
Well thanks for all your help in putting this to bed now.
Much appreciated.
Best regards
Tootski.

It’s DCB Legal’s modus operandi, don’t feel singled out.
DCB Legal runs a sausage machine in which they initiate court
proceedings on behalf of a parking company. This frightens many
people into paying up. The alternative is that people ignore
court papers, in which case DCB Legal secures a judgment in
default. Anyone who actually defends and properly secures a
hearing in court local to them ends up with a discontinuation.
DCB Legal (or the parking company whom they will bill) won’t pay
for the time and effort to attend your court.
As I say, business as usual.
Oh, and with in excess of 40,000 of these notices being issued
daily, it’s a huge money making business, and a large percentage
of recipients pay up, even when they don’t think they should.
The cost of threatening but not taking someone to court is minor
in comparison.

It is safe to say that any claim issued by DCB Legal, at least
where the claim is under £600, irrespective of the defence, only
as long as anything is submitted, they will discontinue before
the trial fee has to be paid.
Your case was no different and has concluded exactly as
predicted. Please can you post a copy of the N279 Notice of
Discontinuance for our records.
