DCBL pre enforcement letter.

mowot19

Hi everyone, 

I really am sorry if this shouldn’t be a new thread but I need some advice please as I just don’t know where to turn!! 

I used to work for Lidl supermarkets and while working for them received a number of parking notices from Highview. I told the manager of the store about this at the time and was told he would sort it and to ignore them as he had passed my reg number to them at the time. 

Luckily all the communication stopped until this month where I am receiving a high number of pre enforcement letters from DCBL which, on advice from people on here, will ignore but I am wondering if there is anything else I can do to dispute the charges as I was an employee? 

Should I contact Lidl’s legal department to see if they can cancel this with the debt collection agency or do I just sit and wait?!

you could try LIDL but do not reveal who was driving , because HIGHVIEW do not issue POFA compliant notices so as keeper you are not liable

ignore the debt collector letters , they can do nothing without a court order and they cannot drop the charges , only HIFGHVIEW can do that , so pointless asking DCBL to drop it , they wont , they are acting on instructions from HIGHVIEW , their client, DCBL do not have permission from their client to drop it

I would email a SAR to the DPO at HIGHVIEW to obtain all your data under the GDPR, attaching a copy of your V5C or 2 recent redacted utility bills as proof of ID (not your driving licence and not your passport either , do not give them extra data)

then come back if you get a proper LBC with 30 days notice + financial forms attached , and/or a court claim pack from the CCBC in Northampton, within the 6 years allowed

basically, prepare for the future , just in case, but dont let it worry you

DCBL forget them unless you get a court claim and then they can be spanked because they simply don't understand what they are talking about.

Highview cannot win because they are using legals who fake claims

I would have a word in the ear of this manager and that you will report him to his MD

I recently received a notice of debt recovery letter from dcbl, saying on 19/11/2014 my previous vehicle had an outstanding parking charge, I did own that vehicle then but sold it a few years ago, I ignored this letter with it being the first but I've heard about this and it being so long ago, but today I got a pre enforcement letter from them, can I continue to ignore them or will they take me to court if I don't pay

the parking company MAY take you to court , if 6 years has not expired, they all can

you can ignore anything EXCEPT an LBC or a court claim

The sad DCBL again, chasing old scam tickets

They will have added a fake £60 or £70 to their stupid claim and frankly that scam no longer works because courts are kicking these scammers out of court for ABUSE OF PROCESS

You can spank them yourself by writing back and asking on what legal authority do they have to add unknown amounts. They do not have any legal authority and if they were so stupid to go to court, they would face a charge of contempt of court as you can see here. That means that if they sign a statement of truth,, which would be lie they are in serious trouble

Amendments to the Civil Procedure Rules bring mandatory changes to statements of truth

This information with thanks to henrik777 and Castle
AS FROM APRIL 6TH 2020

For witness statements, the statement of truth’s wording will be as follows:
I believe that the facts stated in this witness statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.

So write back with the key words "on what legal authority" and that you deny any debt.

Let us see if they are prepared to lie to you and the court

MMM, you have hijacked Mowat's thread, please start your own. 

Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams, so consider complaining to your MP., it can cause the scammer extra costs and work, and in some cases, cancellation.

Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, many of whom are former clampers, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.

Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.

I have received two letters from DCBL  in the last fortnight of having an outstanding parking ticket fine from 2016, which i never knew about in the sum of £170, i have never received any parking ticket from parking eye or anybody else. How can they, have four years try and claim something you have never received. What  do I do !
