Thank you, b789-yes, it's DCB Legal LTD.
I only received an automated email response and nothing specific
from them. I just got the notice about mediation today — I
thought they would give me at least a few days’ notice. Should I
just ignore the call? (I just noticed that you are away from the
8/10/25-is there anything else I need to do?
Thank you for your help!

Have you received any response from DCB Legal to the email you
sent?
Don't worry about the mediation call. It is not part of the
judicial process. However, I suggest you take the call and ask
the following points:
When the mediator calls
“For the record: the claimant has already cancelled the charge.
I have this in writing. Please note that on the mediation
record. Now, before we proceed, confirm from the claimant’s
side:
[indent]1) Is the person you’re speaking to an authorised person
(or exempt under supervision) with personal authority to
discontinue today?
2) Will they confirm now that the claim is discontinued and
state when the N279 will be filed and served?[/indent]
Please relay their answers and record them.[/I]”
If authority + discontinuance confirmed
[indent]“[i]Thank you. My position is £0. Please record that
discontinuance is confirmed by an authorised person, and the
N279 filing/serving time given. That concludes the
mediation.”[/indent]
If “charge cancelled” but no authority/no discontinuance
[indent]“Please record: claimant says the charge is cancelled,
but no authorised person has confirmed discontinuance and no
N279 details have been provided. My position is £0. Mediation
cannot progress. I invite immediate discontinuance and will rely
on this on costs (CPR 27.14(2)(g)).”[/indent]
If mediator refuses to confirm/record
[indent]“Please record that I have written proof the charge is
cancelled, that I asked for authorised status and N279 details,
and that this was refused. My position is £0. I will rely on
this on costs.”[/indent]
What to report back
“Cancellation noted Y/N; authorised status Y/N; discontinuance
confirmed Y/N; N279 time given Y/N; refusal recorded Y/N.”

Hi,
Thank you so much for the above. I made a mistake. I just
realised that the mediation call is scheduled for 7/11/25 (not
7/10/25). Do I send another email to DCb legal, with the correct
date ? Or do I wait for their response first? I only received an
automatic response to the email I sent to them today:
----------------------------------
''Please note that we will aim to respond to your correspondence

Just wait for the N279 Notice of Discontinuance (NoD). When you
receive it, please show it and do not redact the signature on
it.

Hi
I sent an email to DCB Legal on 06/10/25 to inform them that the
claimant had cancelled my parking charge and asked them to issue
a N279 Notice of Discontinuance. To this date, I haven't
received any reply from them, other than an automated
acknowledgement email. Do I need to chase them...or? (Or shall I
contact the court? )Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank
you! (My mediation call is scheduled for 7/11/25.)

You need to be firm with the incompetents at DCB Legal. Just
today I had a success with another case (not on FTLA) where I
advised the defendant to apply for a Summary Judgment (before
allocation, no limit to costs) which has been granted. Yes, it
would cost you £313 to apply but that will be awarded back plus
the costs of £750.
I advise you to respond to DCB Legal with the following to
info@dcblegal.co.uk and CC yourself:
--- Quote ---
> Subject: Claim [claim number] — Immediate Notice of
Discontinuance required
>
> Dear Sirs,
>
> On 06/10/25 I notified you that the claimant had cancelled the
underlying parking charge and requested that you file a Notice
of Discontinuance (Form N279). I hold the claimant’s written
confirmation of cancellation. You have not confirmed filing, nor
have you responded beyond an automated acknowledgement.
>
> You are hereby given until 4pm on Monday 20th October to
confirm that the N279 has been filed and served. Failing that, I
will apply for:
> [indent]• Strike-out under CPR 3.4(2)(a)–(b) on the grounds
that the claim discloses no reasonable cause of action and
continuing it is an abuse of process; and
> • Summary judgment under CPR 24.2 (there being no real
prospect of success), with costs under PD 45 Table 1(c) (£750
fixed) plus the £313 court fee and any further
disbursements.[/indent]
>
> If the N279 is filed late or at the door of allocation, I will
rely on this correspondence in seeking costs for unreasonable
conduct under CPR 27.14(2)(g) and CPR 38.6.
>
> Please treat this as an open communication and ensure your
supervising solicitor is aware.
>
> Yours faithfully,
>
> [Defendant’s full name]
> [Address]

This is the order that was successful following another claim by
DCB Legal where there was clear evidence that the vehicle did
not and had never belonged to the defendant, even after they
were notified. (The claimant had misread the letter F for the
letter P in their ANPR and refused to budge even though they had
instructed their debt recovery firm that they had withdrawn the
PCN.

Hi,
b789, thank you so much for the above!
Shame I only just saw your message, but I will schedule it now
for Monday morning to be sent to them. I'll come back to let you
know if I receive a response from them. I also have some
positive news-Sainsbury's cancelled the penalty charge from 3
years ago (so definitely worth writing to), for which I received
a 'Final Reminder 'out of the blue for £ 465, being claimed by
DCBL bailiffs (not DCB legal). So I hope that DCBL will send no
more letters my way.
As for the DCB legal, I'll come back to report on Monday. Always
appreciate and very grateful for your help!

Hi,
I sent the email to DCB legal, as you advised yesterday morning;
however, no response has been received from them other than an
automated acknowledgement. I will be away from Saturday, 25th
October -6th November. I will have no proper access to the
internet.
On the 7th November, I have a mediation call scheduled; have
sent 2 emails to DCb legal (06/10 & 20/10 )regarding the
cancellation of the charge-but no response.
I have to be at work on the 7/11-so won't be able to answer the
mediation call.
Do I need to attend a mediation? If so, what do I do...?
or, shall I contact the court and reschedule the mediation call?
What shall I do next?
Please advise, thank you!

You will have been sent:
--- Quote ---
> Where your mediation appointment is mandatory, If you do not
attend the appointment, the judge will take this into
consideration at any court hearing and may issue a penalty. This
could include the judge automatically ruling in the other
party’s favour or ordering you to pay for some or all the other
party’s costs."
--- End Quote ---
At the very least, you can contact the court with a copy of the
email you refer to above to get this cancelled.
