Help with dcvl notice of debt recovery

whateverIsaywill

Was issued with PCN for parking at gym on 26/9/23. There was a portal that didn't register my entry.

Appealed with proof provided by gym that I was attending at the time, so had right to park there.

Heard nothing until 3 January, enclosing a letter they said they sent me on 28 October which I didn't receive:

Replied on 8 January f2024 with the following on their online form:

With reference to your letter of 3 January 2024. You finally included the letter you say you sent me on 28th October. As in my previous appeal I stress that I DID NOT RECEIVE THIS LETTER. 

I dispute receipt of this letter and  ask you to provide proof of postage or proof of receipt.

I had a right to park in that car park that morning and have supplied you with proof that I was at the Merton Abbey Nuffield that morning, although you say I have not provided evidence, which in itself doesn't make any sense, so please explain to me how that isn't enough proof?

Logic dictates that I would not have ignored this letter and indeed, would have paid the suggested amount of £20, just to close this claim. If not, I would have taken my claim to POPLA. But again, I stress, I did not receive this correspondence.

You state that it is now too late to go to POPLA, but I never had a period when I could have gone because I didn't receive the letter of 28 October!

I would ask you to please reinstate the £20.

They totally ignored this.

Then nothing till I received a dcvl notice of debt recovery for £170.

Happy to go to Court as feel I haven’t been fairly treated as haven't been given a fair chance to go to POPLA or make any other appeal.but don’t want to end up with a CCJ.

Should I just do nothing at the moment?

Ignore the debt collectors letters, like from DCB Ltd  etc , they are powerless, not worth a minute of your time, or mine 

Come back to this thread if or when you receive a Letter of Claim or a court claim pack from the CNBC in Northampton within 6 years following the incident date 

If you follow the advice here, you will not end up with a CCJ 

Which parking company. ?

My guess would be UKPC. Either way, Plan A is always a complaint from the keeper to the landowner/gym owner/manager CEO and the keeper's MP.

Get photos of the site and signage in readiness for any court claim that might arrive.

You are not risking a CCJ as long as you put right the address issue. Tell the PPC and DRA to ERASE the old address that we suspect they got from the DVLA a year ago.

I suspect your V5C was (or still is?) showing your old address and that's where the PCN and reminder went. Please check it this week.

Hi
Just to say I've had a Notice of Intended Legal Action - from the lovely people at dcbl.

Should I still do nothing?

DCBL  ?  or , from DCB Legal   ?

Does it give you 30 days notice   ? A letter of claim does
