I'm scared about what will happen and what I should do?
Can anybody help me please? I have a disability and not much money. A few years ago I had a letter from dcbl (Direct Collection Baillis Ltd) to pay a fine of over £300, from a car park with free parking, but as I just ran in and out a shop, I didn't put in my details, and so it caused me a lot of depression and anxiety. I…

Never seen a parking ticket but now have letter from dcb legal Ltd.
I've never seen a parking ticket on my car. I would have paid it if I'd seen it. Now just before Christmas I have a letter from dcb legal Ltd saying I owe £170 to their client, for parking in St Stephens Place, Trowbridge, in August, which is free for about 3 hours, so not as if I wouldn't have got a free ticket anyway. I…

Euro Car Parks and DCB Legal Discontinuance
My experience with Euro Car Parks goes back to February 2025. I made two visits a few days apart to the car park of a disused building, first to drop off a PC at a repair shop and a second to pick it up again. I didn't see any cameras even though I looked for one so I assumed it was warden patrolled. There was a sign at…
