The only thing I am not clear on however is how long I have to
respond. I recieved DCB's questionnaire on 5th Jan. I've
downloaded & completed the N180 form as suggested in the above
post, but just want to confirm what sort of timeframe I have to
email this in as per the explanation on the above thread?

You send your N180 online either when your MCOL account tells
you that your N180 has been sent to you or when you receive the
paper N180 form to complete and return.
The purpose of your submission, inter alia, is to ensure that
the case is allocated to your local court, rather than the one
requested by DCB Legal.

Thanks for the super quick note, genuinely appreciated. I have
checked MCOL & there is no notification or update as yet beyond
confirm of my original defense submission, so will hold fire
until such times as that updates per your guidance.

Hi all, just checking in. Have not received any further notice
yet since the receipt/acknowledgement of my defense on MCOL e.g.
no N180 either in the post or otherwise. Question, is there a
time limit by which this needs to occur as its been over a month
now since my defense was recorded.

No.
Send it either when MCOL tells you it’s been sent to you, or you
receive forms in the post.
This will then lead to allocation to your local court, with
deadlines, which normally mean that DCB Legal discontinue rather
than pay the court fee.
As you can see, this all takes time.

Hi all,
Have had a change in the claim history/status on the MCOL
website as follows:

What does this mean? Have not recieved anything further in the
post or email that I've seen.Is there something more I need to
fill out/return? Or is it still just a case of hurry up & wait?

Yes, but there's no need to wait for that to arrive, you can
download an N180 online and fill it in.
