    Which parking firm?  Which 'bailiff'?

    Give us something useful to go on!
    Hi, sorry for the late reply. Dcbl is the debt collector  and CP Plus the parking company. I cannot seem to appeal because I never received the original parking fine despite my address being correct.

    Hello sorry for the late reply. I cannot find post 4 as I already tried looking for it as per the newbie thread. sorry I am not very clever which is why I am asking for help. 
  • One thing to consider, have you changed address since the alleged date and not updated the change with the dvla? (not just driving licence)
    No same car and same address.

    Sarah, you have received a letter from the stupid DCBL .... YES??

    The letter states it is not subject to bailiff   <<<< and it's not ..... it's just DCBL puffing up their feathers with a scary letter ......  typical rogue trader tactics.  It's a debt collector letter faking you owe them £170 ..... NO YOU DON'T ..... DCBL ARE SCAMMING YOU

    Please show us a copy of the letter, scan it and post it here

    Don't worry, the fools can be easily beaten


    hello, sorry for the late reply. Here is the letter I just don't want to put my address online. I keep getting advice about appealing it or what to do if my appeal fails but I never received a fine in the first place so I don't have a PCN number so I don't understand how to proceed. They have said I sat in a motorway services for too long and the camera eye is enough to go on but they won't send me photos of my car and I don't recall it. It was 4 years ago apparently and I don't know how or why they decided to track me down 4 years on with no prior contact? Please can you help me. I tried to contact the parking company CP plus and they said go back to DCBL

    Too late for any appeal to c p plus , but you can email a SAR to the c p plus DPO to get your data , they cannot refuse this request for data , it's the law

    The Newbies FAQ sticky thread near the top of the forum has what you need to know , just scroll down to the fourth post inside it , count them , the first post being post 1

    They used a tracing service to find you , it's that simple

    Without a court order , no bailiffs are chasing you , just their powerless debt collector section , no bailiffs will be calling , you won't be on telly either

    Why aren't you just reading the 2nd and 4th posts of the NEWBIES thread?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
