Claim form received, dcb Legal/G24 limited
DIR By: Digital Gremlin
Date: May 1, 2025, 3:29 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi all
It seems I/We are not the only ones to have received a claim
form for an over 5 year old PCN.
This has caused my partner no end of stress and they suffer from
anxiety 😥
I have said i will deal with it on their behalf and honestly
have thought of just paying to be rid of it but i believe this
is not right.
Iv read i need to submit AoS but have a question. Do you know if
i can do this via my Government gateway on their behalf as they
do not have one?
The issue date is 16/04/2025 so either way i need to get this
done asap.
Also any other advice would be appreciated, i have looked across
the forum and the community help seems great, have many people
reported on if dismissed or winning cases ?

anyone for a long time and recently moved when we then got
letters from dcb.

If they are the defendant, the AoS and subsequent defence etc.
will need to be done in their name. You can create an MCOL
account for them.

The Aos is submitted. I'm unsure exactly how to defend this, I
currently have zero concrete information other than what is
stated on the claim form which isn't too much.
So it's hard to defend without having all the information
available and the time frame in which it has been left. Should I
contact the company and request more information photos etc?
Any advice is appreciated.

Please confirm that you submitted the AoS online using the MCOL
website?
With an issue date of 16th April, you have until 4pm on Tuesday
6th May to submit your defence. If you submit an Acknowledgement
of Service (AoS) before then, you would then have until 4pm on
Tuesday 20th May to submit your defence.
If you wanted to submit an AoS then you should have followed the
instructions in this linked PDF:
HTML https://www.dropbox.com/s/xvqu3bask5m0zir/money-claim-online-How-to-Acknowledge.pdf?dl=0
Otherwise, here is the defence and link to the draft order that
goes with it. You only need to edit your name and the claim
number. You sign the defence by typing your full name for the
signature and date it. There is nothing to edit in the draft
order.
When you're ready you combine both documents as a single PDF
attachment and send as an attachment in an email to
claimresponses.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and CC in yourself. The claim
number must be in the email subject field and in the body of the
email just put: "Please find attached the defence and draft
order in the matter of G24 Ltd v [your full name] Claim no.:
[claim number]."

> 1. The Defendant denies the claim in its entirety. The
Defendant asserts that there is no liability to the Claimant and
that no debt is owed. The claim is without merit and does not
adequately disclose any comprehensible cause of action.
>
> 2. There is a lack of precise detail in the Particulars of
Claim (PoC) in respect of the factual and legal allegations made
against the Defendant such that the PoC do not comply with CPR
16.4.
>
> 3. The Defendant is unable to plead properly to the PoC
because:
>
> [indent](a) The contract referred to is not detailed or
attached to the PoC in accordance with CPR PD 16(7.5);
>
> (b) The PoC do not state the exact wording of the clause (or
clauses) of the terms and conditions of the contract (or
contracts) which is/are relied on;
>
> (c) The PoC do not adequately set out the reason (or reasons)
why the claimant asserts the defendant has breached the contract
(or contracts)
>
> (d) The PoC do not state with sufficient particularity
exactly where the breach occurred, the exact time when the
breach occurred and how long it is alleged that the vehicle was
parked before the parking charge was allegedly incurred;
>
> (e) The PoC do not state precisely how the sum claimed is
calculated, including the basis for any statutory interest,
damages, or other charges;
>
> (f) The PoC do not state what proportion of the claim is the
parking charge and what proportion is damages;
>
> (g) The PoC do not provide clarity on whether the Defendant is
sued as the driver or the keeper of the vehicle, as the claimant
cannot plead alternative causes of action without
specificity.[/indent]
>
> 4. The Defendant attaches to this defence a copy of a draft
order approved by a district judge at another court. The court
struck out the claim of its own initiative after determining
that the Particulars of Claim failed to comply with CPR 16.4.
The judge noted that the claimant had failed to:
>
> [indent](i) Set out the exact wording of the clause (or
clauses) of the terms and conditions relied upon;
>
> (ii) Adequately explain the reasons why the defendant was
allegedly in breach of contract;
>
> (iii) Provide separate, detailed Particulars of Claim as
permitted under CPR PD 7C.5.2(2).
>
> (iv) The court further observed that, given the modest sum
claimed, requiring further case management steps would be
disproportionate and contrary to the overriding objective.
Accordingly, the judge struck out the claim outright rather than
permitting an amendment.[/indent]
>
> 5. The Defendant submits that the same reasoning applies in
this case and invites the court to adopt a similar approach by
striking out the claim for the Claimant’s failure to comply with
CPR 16.4.
>
> Statement of truth
>
> I believe that the facts stated in this Defence are true. I
understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought
against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false
statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without
an honest belief in its truth.

Draft Order for the defence
HTML https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tcewefk7daozuje25chkl/Strikeout-order-v2.pdf?rlkey=wxnymo8mwcma2jj8xihjm7pdx&st=nbtf0cn6&dl=0
Is the address on the claim from the defendants current address?
If not, the AoS should have been made using the correct current
address. I suggest you immediately send the G24 and DCB Legal
DPO's a Data Rectification Notice (DRN) instructing them to
update their records with your current address for service and
to erase the old address. The highlighted words are there for a
reason... use them.

Thank you, yes I followed the AoS instructions from the PDF from
another post you had the link to. Thank you for the draft and
defence template.
Honestly, I can't believe this, The strain emotionally on my
partner has been crazy and I can only imagine others in similar
states but without support would either pay or set up payment
plans they cannot afford.

Update to this thread
Received a letter from DCBL shortly after submitting form,
stating they disagree and basically their client has instructed
them to pursue in court.They did not answer anything.
Later received N180 form via post dated 30 June.
I have responded using my own fowm not the one supplied, I
downloaded from link below and discarded paper copies.
HTML https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/673341e779e9143625613543/N180_1124.pdf
Following advice from member [member=26]b789[/member] on another
thread,
I have used the following answers to some of the less obvious
questions:
• 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.
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 yourself. Make sure that the claim number is in the
subject field of the email.
Hope you don't mind be reposting your advice b789, but wanted to
update for anyone looking.

Had a mediation call, for anyone that is worried, don't be the
guy on the phone, he was polite and if anything sounded a little
bored with his job,He explained the reason for the call etc and
that DCB legal offered to settle for £250.
I said I offer zero pounds and ask that they cease the
proceedings. Guy said ok, I will let them know and will give me
a call back in 10 minutes or so.
Call back and said they would not accept and would proceed to
court, I thanked him and said That's fine.
So will now await the next step, which I expect will be a date
for the local court. I will keep you all updated.
