confusedparking

I have also received this not long after

Dear XXX,

Thank you for your email.

We are instructed by our client to recover the outstanding balance in relation to the County Court Judgment (CCJ) issued to you.

Please find below further details in relation to the debt:

[Removed by Forum Team]

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The CCJ was issued on 28th August 2024. We have been advised it was issued in relation to an unpaid Parking Charge Notice (PCN), issued by CP Plus Ltd T/A GroupNexus; DCBL are not instructed to collect this PCN, so are unable to provide further information relating to this.

DCBL are solely instructed for the purpose of debt recovery and are unable to get involved in disputes regarding the parking charge as your liability has already been determined by the court.

You may wish to seek your own independent legal advice.

Please note that the County Court has already passed Judgment and a CCJ has already been granted to our client. We must stress the importance of settling this debt now to avoid possible further action being taken to recover the debt.

Coupon-Mad, your advice of:

"Don't wait longer than 2 weeks to do your application.

Don't offer money.

Don't get duped into a Consent Order."

Has stuck with me so I won't be contacting them about making a payment

You need to remove your claim & VRM data from the top and their name from the bottom (or the Forum Team will).

I hope that you are aware of the following 

DCBL is DCB LTD, debt collectors, not the legal firm, hence why DCB LTD are chasing the outstanding CCJ amount 

DCB Legal ltd are the legal company that acted on behalf of GN in the legal proceedings 

Its DCB Legal that you deal with regarding the set aside etc

Oh they have, thank you I missed it

Dear XXX

We write further to your correspondence below.

WITHOUT PREJUDICE SAVE AS TO COSTS

Please find the attached for your consideration.

Should you be agreeable to the Terms outlined and the same is sealed by a Judge, the registration of Judgment will be removed from your credit file by the Registry Trust and will no longer negatively impact your credit rating. It will also conclude your liability to our Client in respect of this Claim.    

If agreed, payment of £335.69 is to be made by 05/11/2024.

Please also sign and return the Order, so we can countersign and file at the Court to be sealed by a Judge.  

 

For the avoidance of doubt, DCB Legal sent you a Letter of Claim on 14/04/2024, which afforded you 30 days to either dispute the matter or make payment. We can confirm a response was received whereby, you confirmed your correct address for service as XXX. You were put on notice on 10/05/2024, that should payment not be received within 30 days, a Claim would be issued against you. It is our position, that you were correctly put on notice of the matter.

Based on the above, whilst it is agreeable that you did not receive the Claim Form, the Consent Order fee and Judgment amount is at your liability, as our Client and DCB legal had no reason to believe you were not at the address provided.

 

Payment can be made via our website www.dcblegal.co.uk, by calling our office on 0203838 7038 or via bank transfer:　 

DCB Legal Ltd Client Account

That is true, I received the letter before claim and looked on here for advice which is why I sent my template to them way back.

As predicted by coupon-mad - here is the consent order.

confusedparking

As they have now responded, do I reply and re confirm my terms, or just wait for another email and if nothing, continue with the set aside request?

Coupon-mad

Up to you but why on earth do they think you want to pay over £300 to them? I wouldn't!

If it was me, I would say "don't be ridiculous: I'm not paying the extortionate claim" and apply to set the CCJ aside next week without consent.

Thank you yes thats the path I’ll take. 

Thank you again.
