    Car1980     This has been on going since Feb 2025, emails back and forth with DCB and each time I sent them something or replied I copied court in also, to be honest I've had enough I might as well pay the ruddy thing although I think its a farce

    I wouldn't. CNBC errors are easy to sort out.

    What does your MCOL history say?

    Coupon-mad   I'm sorry I don't know what an MCOL means ? this is what I got on the 11/06/2025 Good afternoon all, Just a little update after all the toing and throwing since Feb and sending off my Blue badge details and all my medical history a few times to dcbl and CNBC. I have now received this email today from dcblegal acting on behalf of Excel Parking. I would be very gratefully on my next step do I pay or send in a counter offer, thank you

     WITHOUT PREJUDICE SAVE AS TO COSTS

     

    We write in relation to the below.

     

    Upon review of your file with our Client, they acknowledge your medical circumstances and due to this are open to settling this matter. Our Client would be agreeable to £184.00 in full and final settlement of this Claim. The current outstanding balance is £261.52.

       

    Should you be agreeable to this offer, please make payment within 14 days from the date of this email. Failure to do so will result in the continuation of legal proceedings. 


    and this was my reply  which I sent on the 12/06/2025 to which I've had No reply

    So, after the appeals I made attaching my Blue Badge and my medical history and the non-impartial 'Adjudicator' flatly refused to consider it. However, the Equality Act 2010 applies and the Claimant indisputably knew that I had multiple disabilities and saw the Blue Badge at two points during what I now understand is a farce of a pseudo 'appeals service'. By not cancelling the PCN, they have failed in their legal duty to make 'reasonable adjustments'. The charge is illegal under the EA.

    This is the reply I got from Adjudicator.
     "The Appellant claims that they had a valid blue badge and provides one side of a badge as evidence to support the claims. There is nothing to show the badge relates to them, or any evidence of the underlying conditions, which they also seek to rely on. As explained above, at this stage, the onus is on the Appellant to satisfy me the charge is unlawful. ln the absence of any evidence, I am not satisfied."

    So now they have done a U-turn by acknowledging my medical circumstances and that I hold a valid Blue Badge, which if they had got in touch with ECC in the first place and gave them the Number on the badge it would have come back registered to myself, as a Blue badge holder the only people that are entitled to see the back of the badge if asked to show are the Police or Council parking wardens. Also not forgetting the stress and anxiety that this has caused me .

    What was your defence?

    You should have received a General Sanctions Order, presumably telling you to file a better defence.
