Hi People,

As with many of you here I am the keeper of a car that has received a scammy PCN with the driver's circumstances being intentionally misleading signage. As the keeper, I received the first DCBL debt collection letter last week, how cute! But that is not specifically why I am posting on here.

As you have probably gathered from the post title the cute PCN is from NTC (Norwich Traffic Control). In September, when I last went on the website to file the appeal (that was obviously going to be rejected) the website was up, however, I had the urge to check the website again this weekend after receiving the DCBL letter and it is just down! It was down yesterday, and it is down today and has probably been down longer than that.

norwichtrafficcontrol.com

Do people think they have gone, or are going out of business imminently? Or just redoing the website. I am hoping the former as the Private Parking bill going through parliament at the moment is set to put many of these cowboys out of business.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts! ;)

    Probably not paid their service provider.

    DCBL forget all about, just another day at the office with pointless debt collectors

    I expect they are using the weekend to belatedly update with a privacy GDPR page.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
    CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

    Maybe they've switched it off for the weekend. :)

    It is strange. You would think that an active company would want to keep their website up. Especially as their NTK instructs the first appeal should be through their website.
    I tried anonymous calling as well and no one picked up.

    I am not familiar with what it means to resolve to cloudfare IP address but has a broken DNS. Would love an explanation if you would be so kind! :)

    I don't see more than one active Norwich Traffic Control Ltd listed there.

    For clarity, it's this one:
