DCBL Threats

Jsayers9898

Hello, I’ve had a look around different threads but can’t find anything relevant.

I parked my car over 2 bays in a car park and didn’t think about the consequences as I went for a meal with my girlfriend. Whilst eating I saw a man taking pictures of my car so I went to confront him. I told him I’d park within the lines straight away but he said it was too late and the ticket was already issued.

A week later I received a letter from NPS stating ‘parking charge amount due £100’. I ignored it and a few weeks after that I got another one that look the same but said ‘final demand’ at the top. I also ignored this.

I then got a letter from DCBL saying ‘notice of debt recovery’ which I ignored then another letter saying ‘legal recovery action’ at the top.

Will this go to court now or are they still just threatening me? Is there anything I can do as these are being sent to my mother as the car is in her name but I was the driver? Should I pay, ignore or dispute it?

Thanks in advance

at this moment in time its nothing to do with you as the letters and claim are in your mothers name so she may currently be held as legally liable and could receive court papers

YOU have not received any letters at all (your mother has)

they are not threatening YOU (they are threatening your mother)

if your mother does not and did not want to deal with it she was given the opportunity to name the driver, which she hasnt done , so if she doesnt want court papers she should write to NPS and mae the driver with their address, absolving herslef under POFA by doing so

then you will get a PCN in your own name, as driver

then its up to you if you wish to fight it or not, possibly in court

so my question to you is , do you want your mother out of this and then you decide what to do ? if yes , then she must name you as driver , asap , in writing , with free proof of postage from the P O Counter (so not "signed for")

Look on the back of that letter, it should say ... "this is not a bailiff's letter" etc

DCBL cannot do anything, not in the parking scam.
All they can do is pass it back to the PPC who will decide

DCBL are going well above their station in life

So if I tell them I was the driver, will I have an opportunity to appeal it or possibly pay the lower payment?

What would you recommend I do?
Cheers

all I can tell you is that your mum has to name you as the driver in order to get them off her back because she is receiving the letters, not you

after that, its about whatever NPS decide to send to you as regards any appeal etc, or payment, or court

Coupon-mad

Mum simply needs to do the transfer of liability that was on the NTK.

i have received 2 recent threatening letters from DCBL claiming they are high court enforcers. This concerns a parking fine from 5 and a half years ago 2014 may i was apparently 6 minutes over my allotted time allowed. It was a Parling Eye company . That car was sold 5 plus years ago and i can not remember even going in there !!, however the car reg is correct to my old car.
Given the length of time have they any rights to continue, the fine is now £165.00 , i am on a part time wage with benefits and have not got that money , should i ignore it ,or reply offering minimum amount any ideas, and as i said the car was sold on or around that time..

They have 6 years to pursue to court. If you want further help, please start your own thread, not jump in on those of other people.
