DCBLegal letter of claim

Stanbutler

Hello,
I have recieved a letter of claim from dcblegal regarding a parking charge notice from July 2016.

I have been reading the forum over the weekend including the newbie section but im finding it hard to understand, I have never had any dealing with this kind of thing and I have dyslexia which is making it even more difficult for me to read through and process the information.

So I would be grateful if some one could help break down and simplify the process for me, I have been tempted to just pay it to avoid the hassle and stress but I really dont like scammers and bullies and feel its my duty to fight them if I can.

I have attached pictures of the letter.
Info on the parking charge notice,
It was sent to me in july 2016 by Highview parking ltd.
I was not the driver at the time I wasnt even in the car.
They sent a few letters over about a 12 month period and then they stopped until this year I started getting letters from DCBL demanding the money and now this has arrived.
Thanks for reading

A 2016 charge ?     Highview are clearly very desperate as covid caused them havoc.

DCBL are scamming you for an extra £70 claiming debt collector charges ... RUBBISH.

In 2016 there was no such thing.  There is not now but due to a stupid addition by the BPA in their latest code of practice such charges were suggested even though they have no legal authority to do so.

You now need to read this which will help you what to do.

I would email the SAR to the DPO at Group Nexus , attaching copies of 2 recent redacted utility bills as proof of I D under the GDPR law to obtain all your data , not dcbl or dcb legal  ( your letter above is from dcb legal , not dcbl ) , also not Highview because Highview Parking are now a part of Group Nexus

Thank you, what is DPO please? Also is there any perticular way of wording it, as I mentioned above I am dyslexic and although I dont let it hold me back it does cause me problems with things like this.
Thank you for your patience with me.

DPO = Date Protection Officer.

For that and other abbreviations commonly used here look at the fifth post on the NEWBIES thread.

For ideas on how to word a Subject Access Request, have a look at the first few paragraphs of the second post on that same NEWBIES thread.

Exactly the same as this one, even down to the thread title:

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6315912/dcb-legal-letter-of-claim

Same advice applies as there.  Please read that thread advice to save us repeating ourselves.

Wow this would have been a cinch to win with one email appeal at the time.

Thank you for your help I will look at the links, I didnt appeal at the time because the advice at the time was to ignore them.

I have sent a SAR to nexus group to the DPO, I presume the next step is to now wait for a response and request 30 days from dcblegal to seek advice? Do I sent this request near the 30 day response dead line ?

At this time of year it might be a good idea to send that 'I'm seeking debt advice so gimme 30days' email as late as possible to avoid sitting in the corner writing a Defence when everyone else is partying.

But send it at a time to suit your priorities.

No, it wasn't.

Highview ones in 2016 we were laughing about how easy they were to appeal and we haven't advised anyone to ignore these in England & Wales, for some 9 years (since the POFA 2012 was passed and ParkingEye started suing for fun).

This would have been cancelled in 2016 with ONE email.  Oh well!
