Dear X
We write in response to your correspondence received in our office dated 23/04/2024.
We now respond to the same as follows.
Parking Charge Notice (PCN) XXX had been issued at Abbots Wood BN26 on 24/09/2023 at 17:41, due to the vehicle remaining on private property in breach of the terms - please find attached images of the vehicle. This PCN had been picked up by Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology, in this instance, the creditor will have applied to the DVLA straight away for the registered keeper details and the PCN would have been issued by post to the address held.
Please note, upon the PCN being issued your name and address were provided by the DVLA and our Client therefore correctly issued correspondence to you at that address - please find attached the Notices to Keeper. It is your responsibility, as the Registered Keeper, to ensure the DVLA is kept up to date with your current address at all times should you have moved at this point.
Multiple Notices were issued to you at the time You were afforded 28 days for the opportunity to; appeal the parking charge, transfer liability to the driver or make payment. Neither a successful appeal, nor an adequate nomination were received, yet payment remains outstanding. For clarity, the opportunity to appeal has now passed and would not be considered.
Please be advised, that when parking on private land, the contractual terms of the site are set out on the signs. You are entering a contract and agreeing to the terms by parking and staying on the site. Parking in breach of the terms as stipulated on the signage means that you are then breaking the terms of the contract - please see attached an image of the clear signage at the location.
The HMRC ‘VAT Supply and Consideration manual’ (VATSC06140), which was last updated on 02 September 2020, confirmed that parking charge notices falls out of the scope of VAT. There is no requirement for a VAT invoice to be issued to you.
You now have 30 days from the date of this email to make payment of £120.00. Failure to make payment will result in a Claim being issued against you without any further reference.
Payment can be made via bank transfer to our designated client account: -
- Account Name: DCB Legal Ltd Client Account
- Sort Code: 20-24-09
- Account Number: 60964441
You must quote the correct case reference when making payment. If you do not, we may be unable to correctly allocate the payment. If further action is taken by us as a result of an incorrect reference being quoted, you will be liable for any further fees or costs incurred.
We didn't receive multiple notices about this and one I did receive was the first.
The advice at the time was wait for the court request.
Since then I have sold the car and moved address, never thought about it ( my fault) and never heard anything until today when I received the letter.
I have read this thread and although confusing I have put together the template from page 3 on
Out of the Blue: CCJ Debt letter (for an alleged pcn) – dcbl (/UK Parking Control ltd)
(I cannot post links)
Is the claimant DCB Legal and should I email it to them?
