Ukpc + dcb legal chicken out yet again3 -
Kaziyyah said:BIGGER UPDATE - Just called the court to ask for advice on missing the deadline, and they informed me on the phone that it had been DISCONTINUED.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE HERE!!!
A semi stressful few months getting my head around the process and keeping the faith in it - but it works!
Now off to fight another one
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!
Please check your junk emails and if there is no NoD please email DCB Legal to ask for a copy of it or you will pursue your costs for their unreasonable conduct in not telling you it has been discontinued.
We need to see the NoD please, to count it in the disco thread.
And before you disappear, it's very important that people like you join us to reply this month to the new Public Consultation, to tell the Government that:
a) you have no faith in POPLA or the IAS and that there must be the SINGLE APPEALS SERVICE that the Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019 promised the public. As long as it is independent (and only ONE appeals service, not two involved in a race to the bottom) that will give a real option to resolve disputed cases out of court.
b). THAT THE ENRICHMENT OF 'DEBT RECOVERY FEES' MUST BE COMPLETELY BANNED. DISPUTED CASES ARE NOT SOLVED BY A THIRD PARTY DEMANDING MORE MONEY AND OFFERING A POINTLESS 'PAYMENT PLAN'! The answer to the question about adding ANY money for debt recovery is: NO. Nothing, nada. If the parking industry want to use third parties they must pay for the service, like any other.
c). Tell them about your experience and that your case went all the way to court, precisely because (a) and (b) above mean there is no option, no safeguard for consumers as a buffer.
Responses are invited to the Consultation now:

Do it this month pleeease! We will discuss it all in more detail in the coming days on that thread.
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
