Dcbl letter in Northern Ireland

Options
Hi everyone, I have read that this is just to be ignored but I want to double check. I live in Northern Ireland so I know its a bit different over here in regards to bailiffs etc
Hope you can help 
Many thanks 😊

    Post four of the Newbies Sticky in the Parking Tickets sub forum here is fully up to date for NI and the rest of the thread covers the proper process of challenging ticket for every part of the U.K.!  Not that matters much by now.

    DCBL have been on a demented mission to chase-up old tickets - looks like COVID have hit these vultures in the pocket, badly!

    You might also want to obscure that “case number” and “payment line reference” Don’t hand anyone your details on a plate! PPCs have been known to haunt these boards to try and identify posters and gather “evidence” against them, which has later been used against them in court.

    apparently they need to identify driver, not owner  to prosecute so dont give them this info

    Putting ur details plus ur name on here is not a good idea

    How old are we talking?
