Ongoing battle for 5 years.

OK. Here is the previous post I made: DCBLegal/UKPC letter of claim from 5 years ago — MoneySavingExpert Forum

OK. My old flat/apartment had a communal parking area which had designated parking spots for each resident. Around 2016 UKPC steps in and starts monitoring the area. If we had gotten our parking permit, all would've been well and good, but because I was renting out the place and didn't own the flat, my permit had gone to my landlord. By the time my permit arrived, I had acquired around 3-4 parking charges all for the same reason, "Parked in a permit area wothout displaying a valid permit". Now of course I appealed, and I remember 1 or 2 of them got revoked.

Last year, I recieved a letter from dcblegal about a letter of claim and paid it as I did not want to go to court. I remember calling the parking company at the time and asking why they would cancel some but not all parking charges if they were all given for the same reason and their response was that "they don't know".

Exactly a month ago I recieve another one of these Letter of Claim. Now, I had got the parking charge on 21/12/2016 and I appealed in early 2017. I can find no trace of a response to this appeal I made. All I can find is an automated response saying

"Your charge will be placed on hold whilst under appeal and we will aim to respond to you by formal letter/e-mail to the address supplied within 35 days, should you not receive a response within this time, please contact our information line on xxx."

I have filed a SAR to UKPC today and notified dcblegal of that too. My main aim is to drag out the process till December so the case officially goes past the 6 year deadline which results in them not being able to pursue this charge anymore. What would be the next logical step from here to drag it out for a further 3-4 months. I am looking to use the "i am seeking debt collection advice" around a month before the deadline allowing the PCN to run out of time.

Here is my SAR:
