    AFAIK it's the date from which the "debt" becomes overdue i.e. in "default". So is there not a 30 days to pay somewhere on the PCN's? In the unlikely event they do issue a claim, you must state the debt is Statute Barred as the onus would be on Terry to prove it is not. The "missing" DVLA application should seal it.

    FYI DCB have been to court for Terry (not CCC) a couple of times in the last 2 months but can't see them wanting to waste time on just the one. Going to court just wastes everyone's time which is why 99.8% of tickets never see a court. Threats to the uninformed are cheaper. And there are a lot of uninformed out there.

    • When on someone else's be it a road, a pavement, a right of way or a property there are rules. Don't assume there are none.
    • "Free parking" doesn't mean free of rules. Check the rules and if you don't like them, go elsewhere

    Hi all,

    Got a new LOC today!

    Amount due: £1,020.00   :hushed:

    6 pcns ranging from 18/10/2016 to 02/02/17.

    Can somebody remind me how many years they are able to chase please?


    6 years today since the last PCN!

    Unless there is a court letter in the post already... Am I now free from harassment!?
    😁
    I am going to tentatively say - you won, it's over!  Congrats on getting these over the line.

    ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

    And we sincerely hope that you are au fait with the need to respond to the final Government Public Consultation?

    We all need to ram the nail in the coffin of the false £70 'DRA fee' add-on, that actually funds the court claim and toxic CCJ culture, as well as the DRA and roboclaim 'legals' gaslighting of people.

    Please come back here when it opens, and you can make sure you don't miss the Public Consultation:

    If you are not a regular reader, to be alerted you'll need to bookmark the thread by MSE_JC at the top of the forum (it is obvious which one it's not!) and enable (on your profile) email alerts for bookmarked threads.

    Then join us when the Consultation opens in a few weeks.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
