Same advice to you then @Hollyyy77, after reading the NEWBIE sticky please start your own thread.

Hi, 

Hoping for similar advice. I have read the newbie post but not sure of next steps. 
I have been sent a letter from DCBL having ignored parking letter previously - i just want rid of this now. Is it too late to appeal?

Did you read all of this thread?  What did you glean from the NEWBIE sticky?  Did you see advice to start your own thread and give us a few details - PPC, car park location, type of car park, did you follow Plan A and complain to the car park owner/management?

Once a thread is breached by a hijack, it just gets ransacked by all and sundry.  That's 9 different posters piling in on this, and it looks like the OP @sunrisesunset has been bounced out of it. Needs to stop!

Yes i did read the thread, but still not sure - this is a completely new area to me.
Got to say, some of the posts are very passive aggressive. I have no idea what to do here and asking for some advice. The way some of the posts are written could be intimidating.

But the best advice is to start your own thread.  If you have read the whole of this thread you will see that a lot of it is taken up with telling hi-jackers to start their own thread and none of that helps the OP.  I cannot detect any passive aggression (which to me is an oxymoron) in this thread at all.  The first time that posters post on this particular forum it is all new to them but most of them manage to start a new thread.  Genuine question; are you on a phone because sometimes it is not possible to see all of the forum and the New Thread button is not visible.  Trying to answer more than one poster on the same thread is difficult and leads to confusion.

When starting a biography , use a clean page and start on page one , in your own name , with a title

What you don't do is scrawl in somebody else's biography , deflecting it from its purpose ( but no problem in reading it to gain knowledge for your own book )

Interrupting is disrespectful is what we are saying , be respectful to others , consider all other threads as read only , whereas your own is sacrosanct to yourself and other members should respect you and only reply to you

Anyone replying to a thread should be advising the thread poster about their problems , not airing their own !!

If you go to a hospital with a broken ankle , you wouldn't burst into a room where a previous patient is being similarly dealt with and go , me too , look at mine , identical problem , do mine right now even though the staff are still sorting out patient number one and you are patient number six in the broken ankle queue !!

Same hospital , different case notes , one case per person

Think about it , be respectful and have forbearance to others if you require the same treatment 

Yes you all have the same letters , so each of you should open your own case thread , common sense !!

I have no axe to grind with you newbies , follow the rules if you want treatment and advice , it's not a difficult request , not rude , not aggressive either 

And to sunrisesunset , I apologise for hijacking your thread to lay out the facts for nervous newbies

Why don't you all just read the NEWBIES thread?  It is at the top of the forum in capital letters BEGGING people to read it first.

-  post #2 covers DCBLegal letters stage and how to get a SAR and how to win in court.
-  post #4 covers DCBL 'Recovery' (threatograms) stage, to be ignored.

Posting on a thread asking for advice that's already here at the top of the forum is why people get frustrated. 

Even worse is when we say this and people then ask where the NEWBIES thread is and want a link, completely ignoring the fact that my signature under every post I make, tells everyone in colourful lettering (below) where to click at the top of any page as a stepping stone back to the sticky advice threads.

Hi,
I haven't visited this thread in a while. I ignored the letter they sent and didn't get another one. They never sent any bailiffs, court proceedings, etc and the 6 year point passed last year.

I understand why people are panicking, but please try to stay calm. I panicked badly over that letter and it amounted to nothing in the end. I forgot about this thread until I started getting notifications a few days ago. 

I'm sure things will work out for you. You're in the right place for help. I understand why people ask the same questions already answered in the FAQ: we were scared that our case was different. Turns out mine wasn't anything special. Your case is probably the same.

Good luck everyone!
