Yes, SAR UKPC and not DCBL.
Get the information they hold on you and then come back here.
You have received a debt crawler begging letter. If you get a letter before claim giving you 30 days to respond come back here.
UKPC are really desperate now1 -
That’s great - thanks for confirming. I’ll take a look at all the helpful stuff on sorting the SAR for UKPC; and if I get anything more I’ll come back. Appreciate you taking the time.0

From reading material on here ... I can see the advice is to do a SAR - but I don’t definitively know where that should be directed as I’ve not had any correspondence at all previously on the Parking Charge. I’ve read the comments about DCBL picking up old tickets from UKPC so I think the advice is to direct a SAR to UKPC?
Look again at your letter from DCB Limited. Surely it tells you on whose behalf it is acting?
Perhaps they use the word creditor to identify their client?
Maybe you could/should do exactly what the fourth post of the NEWBIES thread tells you to do...Ignore Debt Collectors Letters.

I agree with Keith, rUKPC may well ask you for the reference number on the PCNYou never know how far you can go until you go too far.1

Thanks for responding KeithP and D_P_Dance
Definitely no reference as to who DCBL are acting on behalf of. They are even so vague as to say “We will now recommend to our client the commencement of legal action against you...”. There is a Parking Charge Reference quoted but that is it.
I definitely wasn’t planning to engage DCBL - so I had taken on board an element of ignore Debt Collector Letters but it seemed from reading several posts the SAR advice did come into play. I do get where you’re coming from given I don’t know the parking company so I’ll take no action for now.
Thanks.0 -
I'm not sure I've seen a debt collector letter with no client named within it. Strange old world is private parking!Please 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.

As you have a PCN reference and you know the VRM, how about going to the UKPC website and clicking the Pay Charge link to check that the PCN is from them ?3
