All part of the process. You have received a copy of the
claimants N180 DQ. You will receive your own through the post
from the CNBC.
Having received your own N180, do not use the paper form. Ignore
all the other forms that came with it. You can discard those.
Download your N180 own here and fill it in on your computer. You
sign it by simply typing your full name in the signature box.
HTML https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/673341e779e9143625613543/N180_1124.pdf
Here are the answers to some of the less obvious questions:
[indent]• The name of the court is "Civil National Business
Centre".
• To be completed by "Your full name" and you are the
"Defendant".
• C1: "YES"
• D1: "NO". Reason: "I wish to question the Claimant about their
evidence at a hearing in person and to expose omissions and any
misleading or incorrect evidence or assertions.
Given the Claimant is a firm who complete cut & paste parking
case paperwork for a living, having this case heard solely on
papers would appear to put the Claimant at an unfair advantage,
especially as they would no doubt prefer the Defendant not to
have the opportunity to expose the issues in the Claimants
template submissions or speak as the only true witness to events
in question."
• F1: Whichever is your nearest county court. Use this to find
it:
HTML https://www.find-court-tribunal.service.gov.uk/search-option
• F3: "1".
• Sign the form by simply typing your full name for the
signature.[/indent]
When you have completed the form, attach it to a single email
addressed to both dq.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and info@dcblegal.co.uk
and CC in yourself. Make sure that the claim number is in the
subject field of the email.

So grateful for your reply thank you. Good to know this is part
of the process I thought they are just making an example of me.
I’ll do exactly what you have advised. So I’ll wait for mine in
the post then download the one from the link. Thanks again much
appreciated

You can download it any time and fill it in ready to send as
advised. If you check your MCOL history, it will update when
they have sent your DQ. As soon as you see that in the MCOL
history, you can then send yours without having to wait for the
physical DQ to arrive in the post.
The next stage in the process will be a notice of allocation to
your local county court. Let us know when you receive that.

says I need to explain my claim or defence to them which I don’t
know what to say for my defence really pls can someone give me
some tips ? It’s mandatory it says so I have to do this but I
have no idea what to say. I thought the next thing I would

Mediation is now a mandatory part of all these claims, but is
usually pointless in these cases.
You need to turn up, but there's no obligation for you to get
into a protracted debate about the merits of your case, or to
offer them anything at all. Simply state that you are confident
in the substance of your defence, that you do not believe you
owe the claimant any money, and accordingly you are not prepared
to offer them anything.
Do that and the call should be over very quickly. Offer nothing,
and don't feel compelled to answer any question you don't wish
to.

Thank you very much. Is there anything they might ask me that I
won’t know what to say. Eg what is my defence? Shall I mention
my disabled mother who I took to Specsavers or do I just stick
to the fact that the date issued on fine is same date as I
parked therefore that date wasn’t true. I’m sure that’s what I
read on here somewhere as the issue date was the same. Just not
sure if they say what’s your defence what to actually say. Many
thanks

None of those things are mentioned in your defence, so no. Don't
provide them any additional information other than what is in
your defence.

"A copy has been provided to the claimant. For the reasons I
have outlined in that defence I do not believe I owe the
claimant anything. I'm not prepared to make any offer to settle"
For example.

The mediation call is not part of the judicial process. There is
no judge or solicitors involved. You are not obliged to give
them any information about your defence. The claimant has a copy
of the defence and that is it.
You simply say that you only prepared to offer £0. Nothing else.
Don’t enter into any discussion about anything else. The
mediator is not a legally trained person and cannot offer an
opinion on any outcome. If they do, tell them that they will be
reported for making an uninformed opinion on legal matters that
they are not qualified to make and you will be making a formal
complaint about it.
