Highview/DCB(L) 2017 PCN PAPLOC Now claimform - 1-3 Upper Green East. ***Claim Discontinued***

As dx says, you need to reply to a Letter of Claim and show the fleecers you would be big trouble if they took you to court.

 

Have you any idea at all what they reckon you did wrong?  It might be worth sending CP Plus a SAR.

 

Plus have you moved during these three/four years?  Could paperwork have gone to an old address?

[FTMDave]

Well you need to reply to the LBA.

 

It's a fishing exercise from the PPC.  They firstly hope that dreadful word COURT will make you wet yourself & cough up.  Then they're on the look out for people who don't reply and could have moved or in any case might not reply to a court summons and so lose by default.  Or who drop themselves in it "I did park badly but please let me off the fine because I've got family problems".

 

You on the other hand need to show you're troublesome and would cost them ££££ in court.

 

I like lookinforinfo's idea.  SAR them (it's free and they will have to do some work) and then when you know what this is about, snotty letter them.

Your defence cannot be "cast iron".  Firstly & most importantly, that's not how the legal system works.  As dx says, the defence is just a short statement opposing the claim, the "cast iron" part comes later down the line with your Witness Statement.  Secondly, as we have no info about what happened in 2017 it's obviously impossible to be super detailed straight away.

 

The point of a snotty letter was to show the PPC you'd be big trouble in court.  Generally, although not always, at that point they give up and go for someone easier to mug.

 

The point of a SAR was to find out what happened in 2017, and we still don't know.

 

Please give us the info dx asked for.

Usual typo!

[FTMDave]

In theory no, but CPR is just a request, DCB Legal could just refuse to reply and may well do so.

 

Personally I'd send Highview a SAR as well.  It can't harm you.  The worst that can happen is that it costs you a 2nd class stamp and you'll end up with two copies of the same paperwork.  Get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.

 

Plus it'll annoy Highview and force them to do some work

Well done on your victory!
