DCB Legal Claim letter September 21

Based on posts in the DCBL Letters thread I'm starting my own thread. Some background that probably doesn't change much * PCN is from 2016,…

I have sold the car and moved...do I tell update Indigo and QDR/zzps?
Hi, apologies I can't find an answer to this. I have PCN's dating back 3-4 years now. I have been through a lot to try and get Indigo to just let me pay for the original PCN's of £20 instead of the £128 after the debt collectors (zzps and QDR) both added their 'admin fees'. Initially Indigo responded and said yes that's…

There is a sign stating that it’s no longer an “Iceland” car park. I just assumed it was all one car park. £100 or £60 if paid…

Coincidentally a relative has got a PPN resurrected from 2016 just like us.....except in this case he was the RK in 2016 but is not now. Should he write to parking company to say his personal data is incorrect and should be deleted? Is this a help or a hindrance in fighting the case? Any help gratefully received.

Hi all, I have received 6 pcns through the post from around 5 years ago (not 6) from dcbl on behalf of ukpl. One letter has 5 on and the total is £800 and the other has 1 on with a total of £160.

Defence - District Enforcement
Good evening, I received the claim form from District Enforcement (Gladstones), just acknowledged the service and have a couple of questions. 1. Do I send my defence in straight away or is it better to wait? 2. The car park in question was always free to park, then the new parking charge was introduced. I parked there all…

Popla appeal successful
Smart parking decided not to contest my parking charge appeal, so a success. It was on a 30p under pay, they wanted £65 initially, £90 if not payed within their time limit I followed the template letter, much appreciated all the advice on this forum. Definitely always worth having a go, and taking it to popla.

So what next?? Well firstly the Advice from Citizens Advice is not to ignore the Parking Charge it will not go away, and you have no…

Barnet Hospital
Hi Please see below parking situation at Barnet. The current setup forces people who park their cars there to either a) pay in cash; or b) pay by app. Very few people carry coins today, including myself, so a) isn't a useful option for most. The app charges a 20p admin fee which in a £2 car park fee is 10% premium. I don't…
