UNPAID PCN BY EURO CAR PARKS- COURT PAPERS RECIVED FROM DCB
LEGAL MAKING A CLAIM
DIR By: Melliepops
Date: June 30, 2025, 12:28 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello everyone and Thank you [member=103]DWMB2[/member] for your
reply.
I have received a letter from DCB Legal in May 2025, for a
parking charge from August 2019 demanding a payment of £170.
There is a very brief description on the back of the letter
which reads " The PandD/permit purchased Did Not Cover The Date
and Time Of Parking with a Issue Date and Location. There is
also a Parking Charge Ref No.
I have moved address shortly after the alleged parking
notification and since sold the car ( 3 years ago).
Last Friday, I have received a court claim for the amount of
£339.92. I have followed your advice and acknowledged the said
claim with an intention to dispute all of the claim. I have the
time stamped acknowledgment but have not received email yet.
I am not very tech savvy and am struggling to attach the images
of the letter from DCB and court here.

I hope someone can guide me through from here.
If I remember correctly I had already paid and displayed a
parking ticket. I was watching a show at the Apollo in Stockport
and I was 6-7 minutes late to arrive to the car park returning
just after midnight. But as you can appreciate next month it
will be 6 years since the incident.
I would appreciate any help fighting these bullies.

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 Euro Car Parks Ltd v [your full name]

> DEFENCE[/center]
>
> 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 16.7.3(1);
>
> (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.

Thank you for your help. I have copied and pasted the defence
onto a Word document and saved as PDF. Just for clarity, I do
not go back to Gateway site and start a defence right? I just
email my document to claimresponses.cnbc@justice.gov.uk
Thanks again

Don't try to overthink this. You have been advised on how to
proceed. Nowhere is it mentioned that you go back to MCOL to
submit your defence!
After submitting the AoS, MCOL is used only to check on progress
of the case until it is allocated to your local county court.
After that, MCOL is no longer needed or relevant.

Thank you again for all your support. I have checked back on the
MCOL and they have receipt of my AOS.
I have just submitted my defence and draft order to the email
address provided.
I have now received an automated response which advices that a
response will be provided in 10 days. I guess its just a waiting
game now

You will receive a N180 Directions Questionnaire from DCB Legal
and will have to submit one of your own, for which you will get
advice here. You will have to attend a telephone mediation
session in which you offer £0 to settle. DCB Legal will then
make attempts to settle for less than £170, block their number
and do not reply to any emails. Eventually DCB Legal will
discontinue, before they have to pay the court fee, so keep an
eye out for something which includes this date.

Hello everyone. I have received a Notice of Allocation to the
Small Claims Track and Form N180 today.
As directed by you kind people I have downloaded the online
version, filled as advised and emailed to DQ.CNBC and DCB Legal
copying myself in.
I have received the auto response from both and I myself have
received the email on CC.
Looking at your directions, I now wait for mediation call, tell
them that I am prepared to pay £0 and keep an eye out for the
next set of court directions with an assigned court etc
Am I on the right track?
So grateful for the assistance
Mel

Yes, that sounds right.
In the local court allocation there will be dates by which
Witness Statements need to be submitted and court fees paid by
the claimant. Hopefully the court fee date precedes the WS date.
This will be the date for your diary, on or before which you’d
expect the discontinuation.

I am happy to announce that I have received my N279
discontinuation today. I am so relieved and I can't thank the
members of this forum for their support 🙏🏻
