DCB Letter of Claim - SAR Request?

lilhazzaman

Thank You, I have done so.

I have just received this from DCB Legal, do I just hold firm/don’t respond?!

Thanks.

£40!  They are getting desperate...

and there is no Claim number yet, surely?

You don't need help. Clearly you must tell the BPA that your complaint to UKPC is already exhausted.

Have you done this?

Yes, I have escalated with BPA. And to the claim number, not that I’m aware of. 

Thanks

I'd reply:


Dear xxxxx,

Offering to settle for a few quid? You must be desperate. I didn't think you lot got out of bed for a half share of £40.

But you aren't getting it. Pass the case back to your client to reissue the PCN.

A complaint has been lodged with the BPA, due to you and your client's rogue conduct in finding a new address but then failing to pause debt recovery and reissue the PCN as required under a new mandatory clause.  Get used to that clause; it's in the new DLUHC Code as well as the BPA CoP since February.

That'll stop your firm's little game when you trace new addresses for 28 pence and slap on a hugely disproportionate £70 calling it 'debt resolution'. LOL...

The end of the so called parking "legal" firms' cash cow model seems to be nigh?  Let's hope so.  I wish you well and hope one day you'll get a legal job that actually helps society.  The man on the Clapham Omnibus might observe that even wills & probate work would be better than this dirge for an aspiring paralegal, surely?

Good luck for your future once the penny drops along with the profits.

yours sincerely

Nice!

I do want to send this, and the advice so far from the forum has been fantastic (seriously, I can’t thank you enough) but I’m a little concerned it’s “poking the bear”!!!

Maybe!  

I've spent 4 years doing that on the DLUHC Code of Practice Steering Group.

But the above is a bit tongue in cheek.  Send your own version that you are comfortable with. The £40 is worth laughing at though, so the first paragraph should stay!
