Agreed - an inherent downside of using free forum software is
that we have limited control of how it works. An inherent upside
is that you don't have to pay for our advice.

Indeed,
I've received the following letter dated 27 Oct from HMCTS
"I acknowledge receipt of your defence. A copy is being served
on the claimant (or the claimant's solicitor).
The claimant may contact you direct to attempt to resolve any
dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved
informally, the claimant will inform the court that he wishes to
proceed. The court will then inform you of
what will happen.
Where he wishes to proceed, the claimant must contact the court
within 28 days after receiving a copy of
your defence. After that period has elapsed, the claim will be
stayed. The only action the claimant can then
take will be to apply to a judge for an order lifting the stay."
(can't post images for some reason)
[/quote]
All standard and was expected. You will now receive a letter
from the claimants solicitor telling you that their client
intends to proceed and they will include a copy of their N180
Directions Questionnaire (DQ) which you can just file for
reference. Keep checking your MCOL for news when your own N180
DQ has been sent to you. You don't have to waif for it to arrive
and you can prepare your now following this advice:
Having received your own N180 (make sure it is not simply a copy
of the claimants N180) or been notified on MCOL that yours has
been sent, do not use the paper form. Ignore all the other forms
that came with it. you can discard those. Download your own N180
DQ 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[member=6517]justice[/member].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.

Hi,
Just received an automated call from DCBL to discuss the matter.
I wasn't prepared to speak to someone so hung up.
Should I take the call if they try again or should we do all in
writing?

Block their number. They will just try to intimidate you into
paying. It's a sign that you are in a good position.

Hi,
DCB Legal did not attempt to contact me again but, exactly as
expected, I've now received the following email:
"Good Morning
Having reviewed the content of your defence, we write to inform
you that our client intends to proceed with the claim.
In due course, the Court will direct both parties to each file a
directions questionnaire. In preparation for that, please find
attached a copy of the Claimant's, which we confirm has been
filed with the Court.
Without Prejudice to the above, in order to assist the Court in
achieving its overriding objective, our client may be prepared
to settle this case - in the event you wish to discuss
settlement, please call us on 0203 434 0433 within 7 days and
make immediate reference to this correspondence.
If you have provided an email address within your Defence, we
intend to use it for service of documents (usually in PDF
format) hereon in pursuant to PD 6A (4.1)(2)(c). Please advise
whether there are any limitations to this (for example, the
format in which documents are to be sent and the maximum size of
attachments that may be received). Unless you advise otherwise,
we will assume not.
Kind Regards,
Litigation Support
DCB Legal Ltd
Tel: 0203 838 7038 | DX 23457 Runcorn"
They've attached a directions questionnaire (but I don't see it
on MCOL yet).
Their answers are as follows
• C1: "YES"
• D1: "YES"
• F1: Claimant's home court
• F3: "1"
I've prepared my directions questionnaire according to
guidelines but don't see the request on MCOL yet.

You don't submit your DQ until you see on MCOL that yours has
been sent or you receive it in the post.

Hi,
All I can see on MCOL in the Claim history is documents I've
submitted:
"Claim History
Your acknowledgment of service was received on at
Your defence was submitted on at
Your defence was received on at "
There's no mention of the claim itself and notices sent to me or
to the claimant. Are these hidden somewhere else?

No. It wil update when they have sent your own Directions
Questionnaire. It does nt mention the claims because the MCOL
does not become active until you have responded to it.

Hello,
DCB Legal's DQ finally appeared on MCOL and I've now received
the paper Notice of Proposed Allocation:
"You must by 22 December 2025 complete the Small Claims
Directions Questionnaire (Form N180) and file it with the court
office:
the Civil National Business Center + postal address in
Northampton
and serve copies on all other parties"
Even though this option is not mentioned in the documents
received, I sent the D180 by email per your recommendations.
I've immediately received automatic acknowledgements from
DQ.CNBC and info@dcblegal

We know. That is why we advise you to do it this way.
Also, I seriously doubt "DCBL's" DQ appeared anywhere. DCBL is a
completely different legal entity to DCB Legal. Please do not
confuse the two.
