Parking charge from private company

Yazzaxox

Hi all. I recieved a parking charge from Ukpc car parks back in December 2020. (I was 10 minutes over the time in this FREE car park, and have parked on this car park before. The limit was 2 hours when I thought it was a 3 hour limit)
the charge was £60 and had 2 weeks to pay it off. I was told off various people to ignore as private companies cannot enforce a parking charge onto you, so then weeks later got another letter it had rose to £100 and had to pay that. I ignored once again and was advised they will drop it as its too much effort on their behalf. so more weeks later I have no recieved a bailiffs letter from DCBL claiming I have to pay and they will send bailiffs to my door to collect payment if I don't correspond within the 14 day time frame. Just wondering if anyone can help as I can't afford to pay £170 for a 10 minute late exit from the car park.

Those people who you talked to are idiots !!

Ask them if they will pay your PCN because they gave you pppp poor advice !!

Well I've never had one before and I asked for advice off other people, car parks are sometimes scams and will try scam money out of people.. I'm asking for advice not to be made to look like an idiot thanks

Well, please show us where they have threatened what you tell us they have

I have to pay and they will send bailiffs to my door to collect payment if I don't correspond within the 14 day time frame.

It doesn't say but generally when you receive a letter of debt collectors there's a possibility that they will come. Why are you talking to me like an idiot I'm asking for advice if anyone has been in this position before...

dcbl , did have a tv show and indeed they are bailiffs , however they are now split into 2 parts DCBL and DCB ltd , first is debt collector , second is legal team 

nice pretty "as seen on tv" , then in small print not subject to bailif action 
as regards a civil claim no bailif will knock on the door till after a court case they win and they can be bothered 

they will NOT knock on your door 

Redx

they will NOT knock on the door and without a court order the claimant cannot enforce any alleged debt

the 14 days notice gives away that its a powerless debt collector letter (drivel)

thousands of people get these letters every year, possibly tens of thousands

it is clear from your replies that you have not read through the NEWBIES faq sticky thread near the top of this forum, nor the DCBL group letters thread by beamerguy either

read posts one and three in the newbies thread to see what you should have done in december, instead of listening to the fools you asked who have no idea what they are talking about, probably still dont know or understand the damage they have done to you , it is their fault you are in this pickle !!

read the fourth post of that newbies thread about debt collectors

also read the DCBL group letters thread by beamergut too, because he explains it in full, those 2 scenarios of dcb LTD and dcb LEGAL

your demand is from the toothless dcb LTD debt collection team, no powers to even order a cup of coffee, never mind cannot come a knockin

@Yazzaxox, do you realise you have left your full name clearly visible on that letter you have shown us?

That possibility is little more than the square root of FA!
