You won’t need to do that. You will probably be offered a fixed penalty (£200 and six points) for the offence. If you decline that offer you will face prosecution in court. If you plead not guilty it will be for the court to decide whether or not you were “using” your phone whilst driving and they will do this based on the evidence from the police officers and you. The mobile phone legislation was changed in March 2022 and now doing just about anything with a mobile phone is considered to be “using” it. From your description I believe the court will find you guilty. If you are convicted you will face a fine of half a weeks net inco

Just keep paying your £1 as per the court judgment...if they want to change it let them make application to the court at their cost. You have not missed any payment that's just been used to get your attention and to contact them. Do not respond do not complete any Income and expenditure forms...ignore. Andy

Or pure incompetency

Yes that works. Thank you.

they would have to return to court to enforce the judgement, of that the court would notify you. i very much suspect that lowells or one of their trading names were not the original DCA claimant. i will further guess that hoist uk or robinson way were. lowells have recently bought out hoist uk remember any names? and have you continued to pay the £1 to the same original details/DCA or changed it as they passed you around (like a nice compliant dca cash cow) dx

So your not late in notifying to proceed. The court will now allocate the claim and will send you a Notice of Allocation N 157...come back once you have this as you will then have to prepare for the hearing by following the courts directions. Andy.

This is their website - I've been exchanging emails with a member of their team after a brief inquiry call (I was referred to them after contacting a more local enforcement company) Award-Winning Debt Collection Bailiffs & High Court Enforcement DCBLTD.COM Over 20 Years of Experience in Ethical Debt Resolution. DCBL Provide Industry-Leading Debt Recovery Bailiffs & High Court Enforcement. If its possible to do both, then I can/will.

Did you receive a blank DQ from the court ? Have you submitted your DQ ? that's how you normally inform the court you wish to proceed.

Based on Companies House, they filed accounts up to March 2023 in July. As far as I know they are still trading.

You don't need to worry about that at the moment. If you don't receive the money by the 9 of August then on the 10th of August instruct high court enforcement officers Start preparing by identifying on the internet a high court enforcement officer service and talk to them about it. What you can also do is check up their entry on the companies house web check service and make sure that they are still in business and that there are no markers against them

Update: The N24General Form of Judgement or Order arrived today! The total order is £4,953.42. Date to be paid is 9th August. I'm going to transfer the order to a collection company, however, acknowledging there is a possibility they can't recover - what other options do I have, or is there anything I can do to proactively force payment? I have heard of applying to have accounts frozen, is that an option?

no mcol status of no N180's even sent out its not irrelevant. ..its very very important. if the court havent sent out DQ N180's then its done to purposefully intimidate and harass......std in every thread here from them. the courts call the shots not the claimant..

Yes, they will have to include everything in the SAR. As you are standing your ground - you might as well go along with Nicky Boy's idea and e-mail the fleecers, copying to the hospital, suggesting the £35 agreement. It will show them up to their bosses that, even when asked to reconsider the matter, they insist on demanding twice their real costs.

Yes! Then you're in the clear. PE can only sue the driver, they don't know who this, and the 14-day rule means they can't use POFA to go after the keeper. Epic fail from the fleecers.

it is NOT A FINE...!!! dx

If you weren't aware of the hearing you can apply to the court to get the ccj removed by filling in a form and paying £275 (you can get that back if the ccj is wiped) The court will typically wipe the ccj but arrange a new hearing for you to defend against the ticket, so the you'll need to ask civil enforcement for their evidence, so that you can assess your defence and orepare for trial, or settle the claim without getting a ccj.

Hey Nicky, thank you for your reply, I would rather pay £35 than go to court but at the same time I don't think I should pay anything... if they know they cannot claim the full amount - because their claim is obviously invalid, why do they think they can claim anything at all? If I say no, I will see you in court, they have to pay more money to proceed and if they are aware they have no claim due to their strange offer of reduction, then why would they want to proceed, especially if I restate my original response which is they know I know they have no claim (from my original snotty letter) do you see what I mean?
