Hi @Torenaga. Nothing further needs to be done for now unless the court or the claimant sends you something else.
The next formal step is usually that the claim is transferred to your local hearing court and then allocated, at which point the court will issue directions. That Notice of Allocation is also the stage where the hearing fee deadline will be set. Until the case is allocated, we will not know the date by which the claimant must pay the £27 Trial Fee.
Given that this is a DCB Legal issued claim, the most likely outcome, and I have no doubt, is that they will discontinue shortly before that Trial Fee deadline. That is their usual pattern in defended parking claims. They churn these claims out in bulk and run them on for as long as possible before pulling out at the point where they have to commit further time or money.
So, whilst nothing is ever guaranteed, the present expectation is not that you have done anything wrong or that silence means a problem. More likely, the case will now just sit in the system until allocation, and if it follows the usual DCB Legal script, they will discontinue before paying the hearing fee.
For now, just keep an eye on your post, email and MCOL history, and keep all your paperwork together ready for the next stage if needed.

Hi b789
I have now recieved my telephone mediation appointment:
Appointment date: 16/06/2026
Appointment time slot: 13:30 to 16:30
Is there anything I need to prepare or do now?
Kind regards

For the mediation call, the only requirement is for you "attend" the call. It is not part of the judicial process and no judge is involved.
This is what I advise you to say when you receive the call from the mediator:
“Before I set out my position, please confirm from the claimant’s side:
- the full name of the person attending for them;
- their role/position at their legal representative’s firm; and
- whether they hold written authority to negotiate and settle today.
Please relay that back to me before we continue.”
After the mediator calls back...
If identified and authority confirmed:
"Thank you. I’m content to proceed on that basis. My settlement offer is £0, or I invite the claimant to discontinue with no order as to costs.”
If no/unclear authority:
“Please record that the claimant’s attendee has not confirmed settlement authority. My position remains that liability is denied and my offer is £0, subject to prompt approval by an authorised solicitor if they choose to discontinue.”
If the mediator probes your defence, just ask:
”In what capacity are you asking that question? Are you legally trained? If not, please refrain from offering opinions. I will be reporting any attempt to do so as inappropriate.”
All you need to know is the name and the position of the person acting for the claimant and report that back to us. It will be over within minutes. Complete waste of time otherwise.
