DCB claim form

KeineAhnung

Hi, I’ve recently received a DCB claim form regarding parking fines/tickets. Was just wondering if there’s anything I can do before just paying? Thanks

Do not pay.

Read the newbees thread.

You can defend the claim.

You've not received a "fine". Only a fool and their money pays a claim brought through DCB Legal if they've read the Newbies/FAQ thread.

No-one pays! Clearly you defend it. Very easy.  We have a template defence
 
You don't seem to have read the second post of the NEWBIES thread yet.

Show us the Claim form first page but COVER UP:

- claim no
- your data
- your car VRM
- the MCOL password (low on the right).

With an "Issue date" of 21st March, you have until 9th April to submit your AoS. Having done that, you now have until 4pm on Tuesday 23rd April to submit your defence.

Use the standard template defence and follow the 12 point checklist in that thread. The CEL v Chan preliminary matter is of no use as the breach of terms is stated.

What is a loading bay for, if not for stopping? Why do they say you were causing an obstruction?  Do you work there?

If your username is close to your name you must change it.

Hey, yes I work there, my ward is just next to the parking lot but I can’t remember if I actually parked there and if I even received a ticket. 

Could the link to newbies thread also be posted pls? 

But I went to the citizens advice bureau when I was completing the AOS, before I posted on here, and we ended up calling DCB asking for evidence that it was actually my car that was parked there and that a ticket was issued. Was this a bad decision?

My username is not similar btw 👍
