Parking fine DCBL

Pumpkin1968

I hope that I can get sone much needed advice to help me understand what I need to do next.
I was issued with a PCN last June 2022. I recieved a fine with a photo of my car on.
I parked in Castle Point shopping centre in Bournemouth. I had taken mum to Boots for a hearing test and them we had lunch and did some shopping.
I did not realise that the car park restrictions had changed, I used to work there at Next and we were never restricted to how long we could park there, sometimes I would be parked for 7 hours.
I recieved a £100 parking fine and after doing some research on discussion  forums decided not to pay it. I was under the impression that it could not be enforced and also advised not to respond to any letters as this would be an admission to fine.
Not sure what to do now.
Claim form and response pack pictured.
I would be grateful for any advice 
Many thanks.

Welcome. You are dealing with the bottom-dwelling duo of UKPC and DCB Legal. You should use the template by John86, an example of it is shown here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5r7vbqttho3q948/2023 defence.pdf?dl=0

This will be easy to defeat and by using the robust defence template you can see the expected discontinuation by having a read of this thread:

DCB LEGAL RECORD OF PRIVATE PARKING COURT CLAIM DISCONTINUATIONS

You should now refer back to the Newbies/FAQ thread, second post, which explains the next steps after filing your AoS. The Defence will be emailed as an attachment.

You must keep referring back to the Newbies/FAQ thread every time you have a question about the process. Also have a read of the Template defence thread, also near the top of the forum. That has a 12 point checklist that you should make a note of and refer to at each stage of the process. A copy of it is shown here:

With a Claim Issue Date of 20th April, you have until Tuesday 9th May to file an Acknowledgment of Service but there is nothing to be gained by delaying it. 

To file an Acknowledgment of Service, follow the guidance in the Dropbox file linked from the second post in the NEWBIES thread.

Having filed an Acknowledgment of Service in a timely manner, you have until 4pm on Tuesday 23rd May 2023 to file your Defence.

That's three weeks away. Plenty of time to produce a Defence, but please don't leave it to the last minute.

To create a Defence, and then file a Defence by email, look again at the second post on the NEWBIES thread - immediately following where you found the Acknowledgment of Service guidance.

Don't miss the deadline for filing an Acknowledgment of Service, nor that for filing a Defence.

Do not try and file a Defence via the MoneyClaimOnline website. Once an Acknowledgment of Service has been filed, the MCOL website should be treated as 'read only'.
