DCB Legal letter to claim advice

phey708

Hi all,

Have a DCB letter to claim which I have not responded to yet. It explains they are acting on behalf of their client Euro Car Parks. It was for when the driver parked about 2 years ago (on the back of letter to claim it was from April 2022). I appealed a while ago via POPLA but unfortunatly lost however it was radio silence since then. It was a pay and display car park and the driver had purchased parking at the time. Apparently their argument was that the reg wasn't entered correctly in to the pay and display machine which we disputed. On the letter of claim it just says that no valid parking was purchased even though we have evidence of paying via mobile banking app.

From reading around the forum, do we now just wait for the official N1 court documents to arrive and then acknowledge a defence rather than responding to the letter to claim? Also is the advice now to not fill out a SAR?

Thanks

No you do not ignore the Letter of Claim, you email the template response to DCB legal, same as everyone else 

When they reply, report them to the Inland revenue for possible Vat fraud on the £70

Do not email a SAR to ECP until AFTER the case has been transferred to your local civil court, so next year 

Wait for the N1 claim pack to arrive, then follow the AOS instructions and draft the defence based on the template defence by coupon mad, studying the first few posts in that thread

Hello,

I am still going through the motions of the step by step guide and have so far completed AoS and submitted my defence so basically at the WS step.

Even though I specified a local court nearest to my address, I have so far only recieved a notice of transfer of the case to St Helens even though I specified Manchester. This notice of transfer came on 3rd of August however I've not had anything else in regards to a hearing date. Is it normal to wait a while after receiving notice of transfer before a hearing date is set?
