Do you need help/advice Bluoe?  If so please start a new thread.

Sir Deep, this thread was started as a group thread so we don't get lots of threads about the DCBL rubbish

So you want the world and his brother to post here?  Thereby lies  chaos imo.

If the letter is from DCB Limited, then it's a debt collector letter and the advice is almost always identical, so keeping those type of posts on one thread limits the new threads bombarding the forum wanting the same advice. All on one thread means the new poster just needs to read back to know the correct action.  

But if the letter is a LBC/LoC from DCB Legal, then that's a different proposition and we are, at that point, advising posters to start their own new thread as the route to court is before them and likely to require some bespoke advice. 

It's a similar strategy we have adopted with CST and UKCPS (Piccadilly) which seems to be adequate for the moment.

You are on the Gin this early old boy ........ Just like with the CST group thread, it contains the wild animals in one place

I agree we needed this DCBL group thread to stop people posting news threads every day and us having to respond repeating ourselves.

I hope so, I've been pointing posters to it!

Are the legals like DCBL now as desperate as parking companies. ?
The claims they throw money at earn them peanuts and when they lose, as the majority of their crackpot claims will, THEY WILL LOSE MONEY.

It really makes you wonder who are the brains behind these outfits, there is certainly no business sense involved ... sad

But have you noticed all these legal firms say "they are award winning" ??
Probably some odd bod going around twitter and the like issuing awards like confetti
Thinking about it ..... it might have been Trump

Hi everyone! I have read a couple of threads but couldn’t see anything to match the answer for me. I received a letter from DCBL over a contravention from 2017. They have said I have 14 days to pay£150 and then will most likely be in touch with me again. They sent me a PCN in 2017 which did ignore following some advice online but then I got a CCJ for it! ( so you can see why I’m scared about this one!) I called them as I believe they are talking about the same thing but this time the claimant name is different. Before it was vehicle control services limited and now it’s different. What should I do, I think they are trying to collect for the same debt even though I paid this! ( I don’t have the old PCN number as when I paid it I thought that was it) Any help would be appreciated. Please see letter sent from them attached.

It will be quite separate. Nothing linked between UKPC and VCS whatsoever. Anything from DCB Limited you ignore; anything from DCB Legal you come back to us and open a new thread of your own.
