in Parking tickets, fines & parking
Hi, I sent a cheque for a parking fine a few months ago and it hasn't been cashed. Can I make a online payment now? I have received a letter from dcbl. I have read other posts but nothing similar. Thanks

    You won't find anything similar because it's not a 'fine' and no-one has to pay DCB Ltd unless you've lost after not defending a court claim.

    If it's just a daft threatogram letter demanding £170 you certainly don't pay it!  STOP!

    DCB Ltd or DCB Ltd?

    Hello and welcome.

    I am not surprised you have seen nothing similar on this forum.
    Most unusual for anyone here to needlessly pay a parking charge.

    Which parking company?
    When you logon to their website as if to pay, what does it say about any outstanding amount?

    You say you have received a letter from DCBL. Without knowing anything about what might be in that letter it is difficult to comment on it.

    Thank's for the reply all.
    I know I just don't know if I have the energy to fight this.
    It's Total Car Parks and when i log in it says "could not find ticket details"
    Final Reminder Notice from dcbl (direct collections bailiffs ltd) charging £160.00

    I parked in the car park in December 2023 and paid for parking. I was told by the shop I was visiting that the 1st hour was free so I paid after an hour. Then I received the fine and appealed sending them my payment and what had happened. They rejected the appeal saying I paid less than tarrif displayed. I emailed them back and said I could not afford the payment and said what I could afford they said no and I sent a cheque for £60 which hasn't been cashed. 

    As I have appealed I'm not sure where I stand on this.

    Just ignore the DCB Ltd letters.  See the 4th post of the NEWBIES thread. Read it NOW.

    No-one here pays.  Very easy to defend if ever you get a court claim.  TCP are not litigious so it won't happen, but just in case:

    Obviously you must tell TCP if you move house, but that's all.  You don't pay hundreds to some scam third party DRA.

    Nope. Sit tight. Come back when you get a Letter Before Claim or a Claim Form.
