my NTK was back in 4.11.24
DCBL letter was 8.1.25

All ignored,until I found this forum. Wish I had known all the information lived on the Internet.

Shall I still try step A?? Ar this stage ?

You certainly should,  it's ALWAYS the first option 

Ignore the debt collectors letters 

Name the parking location,  nation,  plus the parking company involved 

See the newbies sticky thread in announcements,  especially posts 4 & 5

Ignore DCBL.

Come back when you have a Letter Before Claim from DCB Legal.

FastFord81

Thanks for all the help so far. I now have in hand LOC from DCB Legal. 

Using draft response from newbie thread via email. Do i still inc the blurb about 'old address' if i've been in the same house over 20 yrs ?

Gr1pr

No, but it does no harm to confirm the correct address for the service of papers,  no matter how long or short you have been there,  clarity is useful

Evening you wonderful people.

I'll admit i dont fully understand the Newbie post 2 on what to do next (ACK OF SERVICE)?

Also can you help with a defence reason ??  ... several sigs are in place, and i clearly was not in a marked bay with white lines, but I did park in what looks like a layby area, which has no clear floor markings or a sign making it clear NOT TO PARK THERE.

i'm so glad i found this group, cos im fuming its not clear, hence why i parked there for 2 minutes to grab a sandwich. 

thanks in advanced.

It's not DCB Legal v you. They aren't the Claimant, they are just a bulk litigator.

Fo this FIRST, please: FIGHTBACK ALERT!

...just days to go! Please do the government's Public Consultation. We need every poster to complete this vital survey before the deadline.

We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that. It doesn't matter; no knowledge is needed except re your own experiences so you can call out a scam industry and you'll protect millions of motorists and help change the law. 

I've written some guidance to help focus new posters on the issues. I've covered almost every question, providing ideas if you agree with our stance on things like DRFs, which we say must be banned.

Ordinary people like you are falling victim to this scam over 18 million times per annum. Motorists need your voice added please.

CLOSES THIS FRIDAY.
