CCJ Final Reminder from DCBL on behalf of CP Plus LTD

river_thames

Hey all,

I've been unsuccessful in finding relevant advice in stickies or previous threads. My sincere apologies if I've overlooked something. I'm dead lost and panicking.

I parked in a shopping centre back in 2018, and exceeded my max stay. I believe I disregarded letters, but I've sinced moved home and I've been caught up with. I've long missed my opportunity to appeal, so it appears the SAR advice etc might not be relevant here.

Here is a copy of the letter, with my main worry being At this point, you are no longer able to appeal the parking charge. Your next opportunity to dispute the charge would be if the matter was taken to Court.

dcbl Direct Collection Bailiffs LTD

FINAL REMINDER - Unpaid Parking Charge of £170.00

We wrote to you recently regarding an unpaid parking charge and Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd (DCBL) have been instructed to collect the outstanding balance on behalf of our Client. The balance is still outstanding and you are now at risk of legal proceedings being issued against you.

In the event that a claim is issued against you, further fees and costs will be incurred and these will be added to the balance that you owe to our Client. Thereafter, non-payment of the claim amount may result in a County Court Judgment being entered against you. This may result in further enforcement action being taken and in some circumstances, it may prevent future lending.

Supreme Court Decision about Parking Charges

A Supreme Court ruling in November 2015 reinforced that it is lawful for a parking operator to pursue payment of a correctly issued unpaid parking charge through the County Court. The case was an important test case for companies like our Client. You can find further information online at: supremecourt docs/uksc-2013-0280-judgment

At this point, you are no longer able to appeal the parking charge. Your next opportunity to dispute the charge would be if the matter was taken to Court.

The fourth post of the NEWBIES thread explains in detail exactly how to deal with debt collectors letters, but to summarise that post - ignore them.

Just ignore it.

Which parking firm?

A claim might arrive this year but that's what you want!   Read some claim threads.  We win.
