Good. Just keep checking your MCOL history to see that it updates with the notification that the defence has been submitted. 

The next thing you are waiting for is the N180 DQ and the mediation phone call appointment.

[Barbudaprince]

Ok status history says defence submitted and received.

Thanks for your help thus far will away the n180 dq and mediation appointment.

[Barbudaprince]

Hello I haven't received anything for this case but I feel like I should have by now...

[b789]

@Barbudaprince, when you emailed the N180, did you receive an auto response email from the CNBC? Has your MCOL history updated saying that an N180 DQ has been sent to you?

[Barbudaprince]

MCOL Case History says this:

Your acknowledgment of service was received on 27/04/2026 at 01:05:36

Your defence was submitted on 15/05/2026 at 14:00:47

Your defence was received on 15/05/2026 at 16:05:12

I haven't sent or received anything since sending my defence.

[b789]

The Claimant has 28 days to acknowledge receipt of the defence and file a notice of intention to proceed. It has only been 25 days since you filed the defence.

Give it a few more days and then check again.

Claimant has responded with this Intention to proceed letter:

What would be my next steps please - is it what they have said in the letter?

[b789]

@Barbudaprince, the BW Legal letter is just a standard "we intend to proceed" letter. It is not a court order, it is not a judgment, and it does not require you to pay or contact them.

The references to CCJs are there to intimidate you. A CCJ does not arise simply because BW Legal says so. UKCPM would first have to take the claim to a hearing, win, obtain judgment, and then you would have to fail to pay the judgment within the required time. If a judgment were ever made and paid within one calendar month, it would not remain registered on your credit file. It is expunged and, in effect, never existed.

Do not admit the claim. Do not agree a payment plan. Do not contact BW Legal to explain anything. There is no tactical advantage in engaging with them about the merits of the case at this stage.

The important point is that BW Legal are already acting in another live UKCPM claim against you concerning the same residential site and same parking regime, listed for 26 August. That is not something to argue with BW Legal about now. It is a case-management point to raise with the court when the Directions Questionnaire stage arrives, by filing a short covering note with the N180 and copying BW Legal.

For now, wait for the court to send the N180 Directions Questionnaire. When the DQ arrives, we can file it with a short note asking the court to consider the related live proceedings and whether this second claim should be stayed, listed with or after the existing claim, or otherwise case-managed to avoid duplicated proceedings and inconsistent findings.

[Barbudaprince]

Hello have received the N180 Directions Questionnaire. I have to respond to it by 7th July.

You can check your MCOL history to see when your own N180 has been issued or just wait to receive it in the post. Having received your own N180 (make sure it is not simply a copy of the claimants N180) or been notified on MCOL that yours has been sent, do not use the paper form. Ignore all the other forms that came with it. you can discard those. DO NOT scan it. Download your own N180 DQ here and fill it in on your computer. You sign it by simply typing your full name in the signature box.

Here are the answers to some of the less obvious questions:

• The name of the court is "Civil National Business Centre". 
  
• To be completed by "Your full name" and you are the "Defendant".
  
• C1: "YES"
  
• D1: "NO". Reason: "I wish to question the Claimant about their evidence at a hearing in person and to expose omissions and any misleading or incorrect evidence or assertions. 
  
• Given the Claimant is a firm who complete cut & paste parking case paperwork for a living, having this case heard solely on papers would appear to put the Claimant at an unfair advantage, especially as they would no doubt prefer the Defendant not to have the opportunity to expose the issues in the Claimants template submissions or speak as the only true witness to events in question"
  
• F1: Whichever is your nearest county court. Use this to find it: https://www.find-court-tribunal.service....rch-option
  
• F3: "1".
  
• Sign the form by simply typing your full name for the signature.
  

When you have completed the form, attach it to a single email addressed to both dq.cnbc@justice.gov.uk and BW Legal and CC in yourself. Make sure that the claim number is in the subject field of the email.
