I have received my third letter from this company asking for £170.  I had a parking ticket in my vehicle and sent W copy off to them, they are still asking for money.  Tried to ignore, not sure what’s best as they are a legitimate company???

Dcb LTD ? ( Debt collectors , ignore )   or dcb legal ?  ( Legal services section , do not ignore )

Post 2 in the newbies FAQ sticky thread near the top of the forum in announcements deals with the legal advice , post 4 deals with ignoring the debt collector letters

Read the DCBL letters group thread.

Regulars here would not describe this lot in as a legitimate company.  Which parking firm?

Excel v Wilkinson

At the Bradford County Court, District Judge Claire Jackson (now HHJ Jackson, a Specialist Civil Circuit Judge) decided to hear a 'test case' a few months ago, where £60 had been added to a parking charge despite Judges up and down the country repeatedly disallowing that sum and warning parking firms not to waste court time with such spurious claims.   That case was Excel v Wilkinson: G4QZ465V, heard in July 2020 and leave to appeal was refused and that route was not pursued.  The Judge concluded that such claims are proceedings with 'an improper collateral purpose'.   This Judge - and others who have since copied her words and struck dozens of cases out in late 2020 and into 2021 - went into significant detail and concluded that parking operators (such as this Claimant) are seeking to circumvent CPR 27.14 as well as breaching the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   DJ Hickinbottom has recently struck more cases out in that court area, stating: ''I find that striking out this claim is the only appropriate manner in which the disapproval of the court can be shown''.
