I received a letter from the Civil National Business Centre from ParkingEye / DCB Legal

Change 'offence' to 'incident' or 'event'.

Done. Thanks. Any other recommendations? Really appreciate the help.

"The purported event is said to have transpired in 2019. The defendant has no recollection of entering the car park at the specified location. Over the years, the defendant has not been presented with any correspondence from the claimant, nor has any photographic proof been presented. Additionally, the exact time of the alleged parking on the said date remains unspecified, further adding confusion to event."

Maybe:  "The alleged parking event is said to have taken place in 2019. The defendant has no recollection of entering the car park at the specified location. Over the years, the defendant has not been presented with any correspondence from the claimant, nor has any photographic proof been presented.  Additionally, the exact times the alleged parking event is supposed to have started and finished on the said date remain unspecified, further adding confusion to whether the alleged parking event in fact occurred at all"

Yes that's fine.

Thank you!

I have just sent my defence via email and received an email back confirming receipt. I will be sure to update this thread as it goes on. Thanks again for your help!

Out of curiosity, what is the reason why we email our defence, or not through the only portal?

Good. Might be discontinued by Xmas!

And whilst your case is quiet for 2 months as you wait for the slow arrival of your DQ N180 form, we currently need people like you to do one email to change the law:

REALLY IMPORTANT THIS MONTH:

Please please (please) do this and give the Government your evidence - threatogram letters going back years - and tell them how it all feels and why you refused to just roll over and pay:

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6471857/please-reply-to-question-4-of-the-governments-call-for-evidence-re-the-level-of-parking-charges

Explained there.

PLEASE READ AND JOIN US.

It's one email. One question; will take minutes.

Make sure you attach copies of the aggressive £170 demand letters and the Claim form (redact your address and claim number/password) to provide evidence of what the parking industry and their greedy weasel 'debt -chasers' attacked you with.

Obviously state at the start of your email response to the DLUHC that you are a consumer and are answering Question 4.

The added £70 on top of an already very high penalty - plus 8% interest - has inflated the claim ridiculously and makes you less likely to deal with thugs like the parking debt crawlers.

It is not something you wanted to happen but you did not pay because it feels like a scam, and will now expect to see DCBLegal discontinue like they always do when sussed, because their conduct shows that they seem to have no intention of attending court hearings for single PCNs.

They rely on picking off vulnerable people but the way the money has increased (to five times the original discounted PCN at £60) looks and feels like extortion.  This business and bulk litigation abuse of small claims should be illegal. 

Add that you want your case to help the DLUHC to have sufficient evidence and case studies to ban the so-called 'debt recovery fee' that is nothing to do with debt resolution but all about funding and driving cases to court, which is very lucrative indeed for DCB Group's bailiffs.

Etc.  

In your own words.

Change the law... we already are...
