HTML https://freeimage.host/i/Ks5DLXt
HTML https://freeimage.host/i/Ks5DD1s
Although DCBL were sending me collection letters and are the
"Address for sending documents and payments", the claimant is
National Parking Control
The claim is signed for by David John Croot who is a
director/solicitor at DCB Legal, I'll await your confirmation
and submit the defence you sent.
I really do appreciate your help, I owe you a pint or something
at the least!!

Just submit the defence as provided. This is going to end when
the claim is either struck out or discontinued, just before the
£27 trial fee has to be paid by the claimant.

The standard advice at this point is
--- 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.

>
> • 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.."

You either wait until you’re sent your own N180 or you check
with MCOL on your status and can follow these instructions when
MCOL updates to say that it has been sent to you.

By way of update, I now have my telephone mediation early March.
National Parking Control Group vs Me.
What should be the sticking and focus points of my defence which
I presume the mediator will ask of me?

Don’t discuss your defence with the mediator, they are not
qualified, trained or capable of this. Just say you stand by
your defence and will not discuss further. Search the forum for
“mediation” for lots of examples and advice.
If they try to discuss the defence any further, submit a formal
complaint.

Mediation came and went, they wanted £100 but I was not wanting
to pay that
Today I have received a letter "Notice of transfer of
proceedings". It says the procedural judge will allocate the
claim to track and give directions. I'll get details of the
judges decision sent to me in a "notice of allocation".
I assume the judge is just going to set a hearing, rather than
review the evidence so far?
Thanks!

At this stage the judge is likely to just arrange a hearing,
yes. When you receive directions, share them with us; there
should be two deadlines, one for the claimant to pay the hearing
fee, and one for both parties to submit Witness Statements etc.

Today I received a “Notice of allocation to the small claims
track”
I believe I need to write to the court and the thief’s if I wish
to object to a paper disposal
I’ve attached the letter, advice is much appreciated :)

Seems the judge has taken a dim view of my defence and in Point
(3):
where it says it says my defence "fails to deny or not admit any
factual allegations in the particulars of claim, and is
therefore deemed to admit them under CPR 16.5(5)"
seems quite worrying to me
My thoughts are:
The vehicle was not parked — it was stationary for 1 minute 25
seconds while actively unloading Amazon Flex deliveries
A contract by conduct cannot be formed in under 5 minutes
(BPA/IPC Code of Practice minimum consideration period)
I have evidence: the app showing delivered at 18:54, Google Maps
timeline, the delivery address matching the location
The signage contained no prohibition on unloading
Do I accept a paper disposal, and amend my defence with the
above facts?
Any advice is massively appreciated, I have a 12 day deadline
