DCBL letter relating to a parking charge back in 2015! SAR received back

fisherjim

Their old "........we will however accept the sum of £15 in full settlement etc etc" means they knew they were on a sticky wicket anyway, they never go for less if they can get their full scam amount.

This is just a final frightener before it times out with their new bully boys riding off their notoriety from the awful TV programme.

Using that statement at the footer of their notepaper should be outlawed it is just a frightening tactic, but their sterile greedy debt collections department bears no relation to the way their bailiff arm works as shown on that awful programme.

You mean the arm who employs a drug dealer ... ?

does anyone know where I can find an email for them? they don't give one on their site helpfully, and they say you have to call them which I am not going to. 

It's  xxx@dcbltd, so try 'collections@' or 'mail@' or 'complaints@' or try other ones you think might work. You'll know the ones that 'land' - only the incorrect ones will bounce back.

A search engine returned this, complaints@dcbltd.com, so do as Umkomaas has suggested and try different prefixes.

I was very surprised by the £15 in their initial reply back in 2015... it does sort of smack of pick a number that seems low enough....

Make sure you place your DCBL reference numbers in the email to ensure it's linked to the correct case.

Nominal sum to cover their admin costs so their little toe dipping exercise doesn't cost them anything.

You are lovely and close to timing this out by the delaying tactics of replying slowly on day 28 to each tedious letter until the 6 years is up.
