Re: UKPC Parking Notice - Not Parked Correctly within the

If you want to pay £0, ignore every offer of settlement that
they will try. They have been known to go sown to as little as
£5, as though the person responsible for the case is desperate
for some minuscule amount of commission.
We have been known to string them along by pretending to hum and
hah as though we are considering it, but never by phone or
email. Only by text. Can be quite good fun. A bit like
deliberately engaging with a Nigerian prince who wants to give
you £10,000,000 for safekeeping!

I have received a letter from the Court asking me to complete an
N180 form
Surely this should be completed by DCB legal as the claimant and
not by me as the defendant?

If you search the forum you’ll find lots of examples:
--- Quote ---
> Having received your own N180 (make sure it is not simply a
copy of the claimants N180), do not use the paper form. Ignore
all the other forms that came with it. you can discard those.
Download your own here and fill it in on your computer. You sign
it by simply typing your full name in the signature box.

You should already have received the claimant’s N180. Yours is
required so that the case gets allocated to your local court,
amongst other reasons.

Read Section A.
Mediation is mandatory.

Just had the mediation call
Bethany Eves, who works in Litigation Support at DCB Legal
represented the claimant, she confirmed she had permission to
settle
They very generously offered a settlement of £200. The mediator,
who confirmed she was not legally trained, asked my why I wasn't
prepared to settle given that DCB had presented me with a full
evidence pack. I advised that as she was not legally trained it
would be inappropriate for her to push me on my defence and that
I was willing to mediate and that my offer was that they could
discontinue the claim or settle for £0.
She advised that we would have this heard in front of a judge
who was legally trained. The call ended.

This letter makes three key points:
- The claimant has to pay the court fee by 13 July
- The court hearing will be on 10 August
- You and the claimant need to submit Witness Statements, but I
don’t think you have posted the complete letter including the
part which discusses this
If the deadline for Witness Statements is two weeks prior to the
hearing - it may not be - then you have a date for your diary of
14 July to verify the status of the claim with the court, and if
the court fee has been paid you need to prepare a Witness
Statements according to the deadline given, but generally we
don’t advise submitting this until you receive the claimant’s
Witness Statement.
If the court fee is not paid, the case will be struck out as it
says. Remember that DCB Legal usually discontinue rather than
pay the court fee. You should receive a Notice of
Discontinuation when they do.

> You can search the forum for any DCB Legal issued claim what
the process is and how it ends. It will be processed all the way
to allocation to your local county court and once a hearing date
is set, there will be a deadline for them to pay the £27 trial
fee, four weeks before the hearing. Just before then you will
receive an N279 Notice of Discontinuance. You are looking at
anything from 6-12 months from now before this ends.

Please ensure that you do not have a deadline for submission of
Witness Statements earlier than 14 July.

I only received this at the weekend (despite the date on the
notice), last two pages attached.
They direct me to send all documents to the court by the 8th of
June. Have I misread or have I missed the deadline for the
submission of witness statements?
