DBC Legal Claim form received
DIR By: BillyEyelash

My son has received a claim form from DCB Legal for overstaying
in a car park four years ago.
He will be submitting the defence recommended in other threads.
This is the first correspondence received on this matter and he
was neither the registered keeper nor the driver. Is there any
benefit in adding this information to his defence, or will that
just complicate matters?

It just feels like there’s something else here, if your son was
neither registered keeper or driver then has someone nominated
him as driver, or is he the keeper of a car with a similar
number plate?
This seems to be fundamental to his defence, if I received a
random claim like this for no reason my defence would be simply
that it wasn’t me.
Whatever was received, can you please post it here?

We need to try and get to the bottom of this before we can offer
much meaningful advice.
The claimant (who?) has obviously got your son's details from
somewhere. What is his relationship to the vehicle?

The car was registered to his ex-wife's grandmother. He drove
it regularly before they separated, but this was well before the
alleged event. He may have been nominated by his ex-wife.
As this is the first correspondence he has received, he doesn't
know anything more.

So keep it simple and factual, no speculation.
If what your son received is a N1SDT form, it contains the
Particulars Of Claim, and the defence is that they are false.
State, as in your first post, that your son was neither the
driver nor the registered keeper of the car (the PoC probably
waffles that he’s being pursued as either of them). Personally
I’d leave it at that, but others may have alternative
suggestions. But don’t talk about previously having driven the
car, don’t talk about the possibility of having been nominated
by the ex-wife. Think about anything which shows his presence
elsewhere at the alleged date/time, but don’t put this in the
defence.
Oh yes, probably appropriate also to state that he’s received
nothing from the claimant, such as a PCN, so has not had a
chance to contest it before now.

What is the date of issue of the claim? Show us the Particulars
of Claim (PoC).
Only your son can respond to the claim. You cannot respond on
his behalf. You can do all the legwork, but it must be in his
name as though he completed the defence.

He has already sent his defence that the claim is false.
In searching his records he found photographs of the children
and ex-wife near the car park in question on the date specified.
He also has evidence he was elsewhere.

Please show us exactly what was submitted as his defence, and
the particulars of claim that the defence are responding to.
It's impossible to offer advice without these key details.
