    I've seen DCBL cases hit the courts and I (for the defendant) have won, more than once.  Their organisation and paperwork is as bad as Gladstones et al so nothing to worry about.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • Thanks @ Coupon-mad just a shame couldn’t have heard both cases today. Be interesting to see if the Witness Statement for second claim differs from that Excel Issued for first claim.

    Look at other DCBL cases and you will see what a DCBL WS looks like.

    I'd nonetheless ask them the question:
    It might be worth a quick email to Savills (who have been generally quite helpful with parking issues) to ask whether, given that their contract with Excel shows no authority to pursue charges through the civil courts, they have given specific authority to them to sue you?

    @Umkomaas

    Savills came back this morning, nothing note worthy in my opinion.
    Thanks

    Ref the "Savills" reply;-
    There's no mention in the agreement for the subsidiary companies to collect any unpaid charges, so they haven't read the agreement they signed.

    @Castle I agree with you 
  • BTW I am unsure why they highlighted the termination section

    Maybe it's the bit about the authority to pursue outstanding charges beyond the life of any terminated contract. Are Excel still contracted to infest the car park?
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    @Umkomaas I had assumed the charges referenced in the highlighted bit pertained to charges between excel and Savills not the motorists??

    Also I believe so
