Parking charge notice

liverbird_80

I recently received two parking charges from Parkmaven. Both vehicles are registered to me and the fines are seperate occasions. On both occasions my partner was driving. The notice has since been moved onto DCBL (direct collection bailiffs ltd) 

the fee is now £170 per ticket. My question is what are people doing regarding the extra fee added and the parking charge in general? 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I'll jump in and say that the regulars here will tell you to read the stickies that will give you the details on what to do.  Frankly I found it a bit of a mare to untangle it all but maybe you'll have more luck.

Bottom line is don't pay but respond only at the right points.

The keeper should have appealed at the time, but too late now 

The £170 per PCN is the debt collector stage, impasse, ignore the powerless debt collectors 

That added fee usually gets thrown out in court 

Nothing is owed unless a judge says so, until then its a disputed alleged debt 

If the keeper is not willing to defend it in the court process, then the keeper should name the driver with their address and PCN reference, separately, for each and every PCN, to Parkmaven, the parking company
( ignore the debt collectors. )

The driver will then get the new PCNs in their own name , which is their problem to deal with 

The above MUST be done before any court claim is issued, too late afterwards, assuming that the keeper really wants to deal with it. ?   Otherwise defend as the non driving keeper at the appropriate time 

The newbies sticky thread in announcements by coupon mad near the top of the parking forum gives general advice on everything

What “fines”?

To sum up what happens:

- You won't be paying a penny

- DCB Legal issue claims

- everyone defends (no CCJ risk)

- DCB Legal will discontinue in 2025.

I hope this is the case pal. I’m still getting letters from these people demanding the money

Post again when you get a court claim.

Of course you are, its their M O, Modus Operandi,  but the advice is unchanged from what you have already been told

Will do Keith, thank you.

I’ve had court papers and a CCJ now added to my credit file for the parking fines. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

You were supposed to let ua know when you received  court claim. You say you "had court papers" and have now received a CCJ by default?

Try explaining yourself more clearly.
