DCB Legal Letter of Claim - What Can I Expect Next?
Comments

Got it. It's @Minotaur4Please 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.

Thank you - was trying every spelling/mis-spelling of Minotaur I could think of.
@Coupon-mad glad to see somebody got their claim dropped, unfortunately - in this case, the only communication I have from either the PPC (First Parking) or DCB Legal were the LBC and the subsequent email chains. I am being pursued for 4 PCNs (that until the LBC I had no knowledge of), but all together. Not sure if it's still going to be relevant?
I'm sure they probably did send a lot of scary letters, except none of them got to me, until the LBC!0 -
Just adapt the one I wrote. You can do it.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

The claimant has no interest in your postal arrangements providing they obtained keeper details from the DVLA at the time and posted invoices to them as they are required to do2 -
Chasing up old invoices is not classed as harassment
The Claimants case is they issued 4 PCN s to the registered keeper of the vehicle deemed to have breached a parking contract , with details of the keeper obtained from the DVLA , the standard process , this may be followed up with letters and dcbl chasing you under legitimate due process
None of this is harassment
Rewrite the letter as applies to your case , as suggested by coupon mad , or ignore as suggested by me , your choice
Harassment is a high bar to prove
Think yourself lucky that these were not council tickets or speeding tickets2 -

I have now received the Claim Form, I understand the steps from here.
One thing I could do with help on:
All of the claims relate to PCNs from 2019, I work in the location of the car park and there are several reasons why I might have been on campus momentarily on those days, or even in the middle of getting a parking ticket (which I wouldn't have kept for no reason) - what do I do for my defence if, at the moment, I am not sure why I was there.1 -

What you have experienced is not, imo, harassment. Phoning you at your office or at home late at night is harassment. Threatening to send people to your houdse is harassment.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.2
