Update
DCB Legal have come back with the usual response of "We have reviewed the evidence you have provided with our Client. We can confirm that our Client had the necessary authority to issue and enforce PCNs on the land. The PCN was therefore issued correctly and the balance of £170 remains outstanding and due."
I've gone back with a response of asking for a copy of the redacted contract and plan which I don't expect to receive, a reminder that their client hasn't provided any response to the SAR and has been instructed by the ICO to provide it, therefore no evidence, and a request for a breakdown of the alluded debt.

Given what you say, can they really .... it uas Autosec after all

If they seriously think the ticket was correctly issued  then why are they faking £170 ?? .... there is no legal authoriy for the fake £70 because the BPA code of practice is NOT a legal authority.
It's designed so everyone can get a share of the action

DCBL will have to explain to a judge why they are attempting to fool the court with Double Recovery

They knoe that the additional £70 may well be spurious.  Ask them specuifically to account for it.  Copy this to the SRA

Don't copy in the SRA to basic stuff where the legal firm has not breached the standards set by the SRA.  Waste of time.

Got a lovely response today

Dear Mr Rodent, 

Thank you for your email.

Please note that the outstanding balance consists of the £100 parking charge notice (PCN) with an additional £70 for the debt recovery fee. The sum added is a contribution to the actual costs incurred by our Client as a result of your non-payment. Our Client's employees have spent time and material attempting to recover the debt. This is not our Client's usual business and the resources could have been better spent in other areas of the business. Had you of paid as per the Contract, there would have been no need for recovery action so the amount due would not have increased.

In terms of the authority provided to our Client to issue and enforce PCNs on the Land, we refer to section 2 of the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims. The aim of pre-action correspondence is to: -

a.            encourage early engagement and communication between the parties, including early exchange of sufficient information about the matter to help clarify whether there are any issues in dispute; 

b.            enable the parties to resolve the matter without the need to start court proceedings, including agreeing a reasonable repayment plan or considering using an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) procedure; 

c.             encourage the parties to act in a reasonable and proportionate manner in all dealings with one another (for example, avoiding running up costs which do not bear a reasonable relationship to the sums in issue); and 

d.            support the efficient management of proceedings that cannot be avoided. 

At this stage, we do not think the nature of your correspondence is conducive to the above and as such, a County Court claim will be issued without further notice unless payment is received within 30 days from the date of my previous email on 29/11/2021.

Payment can be made via bank transfer to our designated client account:-

Account Name: DCB Legal Ltd Client Account Sort Code: 20-24-09 Account Number: 60964441You must quote the correct case reference (beginning '10') when making payment. If you do not, we may be unable to correctly allocate the payment. If further action is taken by us as a result of an incorrect reference being quoted, you will be liable for any further fees or costs incurred.            Alternatively, you can contact DCB Legal Ltd on 0203 434 0424 to make payment over the telephone. Kind Regards,

I'm a little offended by their comments about me not undergoing conducive correspondence so I have replied:

Sarah Jane,

I don't understand what the authority of your client to issue tickets has to do with the Pre Action Protocol, other than if they provide evidence it will clarify one of the issues! Once I see evidence I will be able to open a dialog for agreeing a way forward.
I have made many attempts to communicate reasonably with your client.
a.    I followed the instruction to appeal but never received a response.
b.    I have asked for copies of all correspondence, images and recordings between myself and your client and their agents but have not received anything.
c.    I have provided information that your client does not have authority to issue tickets in that area yet your client has not provided evidence to the contrary.
Therefore I maintain that I am fully complying with the Pre-Action Protocol. Your client could have avoided all of the unnecessary expense they suggest they have incurred by responding to my earlier communications and I again invite them to cease their action.
Yours faithfully,

Mr Rodent
