BW legal "Letter of claim"
I've been receiving similar letters asking for details and so far I've ignored them. I'm clear I was parked on our own property and had permission from the land owner. This letter talks about county court more and has some sample costs? If this ends up in the county court surely the court would have to contact me so I can…

Is 'Mollie Jones' at DCB Legal a pseudodym?
After I turned down an offer to 'drop hands' on a UK Parking Control Ltd discontinuance (the claim had already been struck out by the court with liberty to restore), Amended Particulars were filed and served by DCB Legal on behalf of their client. The usual boilerplate text, with more holes in it than a coal miner's sock,…

Unfair CEL PCN?
Hi all, I received an NTK from CEL for a parking that I regularly use. I didn't realise until I received this PCN that the parking was controlled by the ANPR.

I have a Letter of Claim from DCB Legal for a short overstay at McDonalds about 8 months ago. After speaking to the McDonalds manager, they emailed UKPC asking to cancel the parking charge.
