Classic DCB Legal Letter of Claim, all this over 1 minute!
Hi, We've been pursued by these scumbags for a while now and they're not getting the message.

UKCPS Moorside Legal Claim Form
Hi Guys I've been following the excellent advice on here regarding UKCPS since I received my first letter about a year ago.

Confused about who to appeal/write too.
Admittedly I missed the original appeal window. I have dodged every way they have tried to communicate with me up to now, over a year anyway. It is in Scotland, a car park at a retail park with several retailers. It came originally from the car park operator, then moved to another mob and now a debt collector linked to the…

ECP via DCB Legal, issue date 10th April 2025
So POPLA rejected my fine appeal. Sadly i admitted driving my car. They had photos of me anyway. So this is perhaps a newish scam where you pay for your ticket but the payment to their payment site does not go to them. You are redirected from their payment site and purchase something totally unrelated. In my case a scam…
