DCBL - Notice of Intended Enforcement Action

discountdude1234

I have reviewed sticky thread and searched the forum but can’t find a post with a letter with the same title. 

Received a CCJ in September 2019 for £185 and is due to drop off this year 

received a letter today and unsure now if it’s time to pay it or just ignore ? Seems like Baliffs

There is a spelling mistake in the title of the letter as they have spelt enforcement wrong. 

NOTICE OF INTENDED ENFORCMENT ACTION UNPAID COUNTY COURT JUDGMENT £185.00

letter text:

We have written to you previousty but the outstanding balance remains unpaid.

You have an unpaid County Court Judgment (CCJ) and Direct Collection Bariffs Lid (DCBL) have been instructed to collect the outstanding balance on behalf of our Client.

As the helance is süill outstanding, DCBL have now recommended to our Client to begin enforcement action against you. We must point out that the balance may increase due to Court fees and other costs associated with Court entoreement ation which can include (but is not limited to):

Any help would be much appreciated.

It's a letter from a powerless debt collector and can be ignored. However, they may pass it to the solicitor's arm of the same company which is DCB Legal Ltd, who may apply for a warrant of control, or they may pass it back to the principle (the parking company) who may do this, or some other means of recovering the court mandated money due.

If you have only just found out about the CCJ, then you might be able to apply for a set aside, but if you have known about this for a long time, then you will find that more difficult.

A lot could happen between now and September, so I think you need proper legal advice. There may be some posters on this forum who can help, but it is beyond the likes of me because it is now no longer a parking issue.

@ChirpyChicken will probably confirm that we've never seen DCB get a Warrant of Control for a single PCN case.

I can indeed confirm that. It's something they simply don't do

I have now received a letter "Notice of intended legal action". My registration plate is not on the parking eye system however I keep getting letters from DCBL, do I just ignore them until it changes to DCBLL? Is there anything I can email? Thanks in advance.

That £170 letter is in the 4th post of the NEWBIES thread in pictures already.
