DCBL letter re: parking fine

Laura_Jayne_3

I have received a letter from DCBL requesting payment for £140 for a parking fine from Parkingeye Ltd I have not received. There are no details of this fine apart from the company, my registration no and the amount due. They have given me 14days to pay otherwise they could commence legal proceedings against me in a County Court to recover the outstanding sum plus any order for costs. Please help, what do I do.

You should study the 4th post in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum,  which I suspect that you haven't read yet 

Ignore powerless debt collectors letters,  especially from DCBL

DCBL cannot commence legal proceedings,  only Parking Eye or their legal contractor can do so

That exact letter is already in the 4th post of NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST.

Your V5C isn't up to date is it? Old address on it likely caused the ParkingEye PCN to go to your old address. You MUST address that.

No paying at any point, obvs.

Hi, sorry to be a pain, I have read the thread but find it a bit confusing. Do I use the template 'one size fits all' first appeal and if so who do I send it to? Parkingeye or DCBL. I cannot find thr #4 thread on the newbies post. Thank you

No, just ignore dcbl  ( scroll down to the 4th post about debt collectors   )

You can.  It's the 4th post. Count them.

The one with the pics of the tedious threatograms where I beg people not to post about them!

Checked the address on your logbook?

Good morning

I have written to Parking Eye to advise that I had not received the initial parking fine but just a letter from DCBL asking for £140.00. They have written back advising when this was for (1st June 2024) but have said that they are unable to consider any appeal points at this stage as this case has been referred to their debt recovery agents, DCBL, and any further correspondence should be directly to them. What do I do now, please?

Ignore them for now,  the debt collectors stage is an impasse,  only Parking Eye or the landowner can cancel it

The only current possible solution is a cancellation by the business or landowner or retail park management company,  depending on the location it was incurred at 

Come back to this thread in the future if you receive a Letter of Claim giving you 30 days notice,  or if you receive an N1SDT court claim pack from the CNBC in Northampton using MCOL 

I hope that you realise that its not a fine,  its a pcn, an invoice from a private parking company for the alleged breach of the parking contract on that private property

Should have been done as soon as you knew about that pcn, take a copy of it with you, if they cannot help, get the manager to involve head office,  head office are responsible for contracts with Parking Eye

Asda can always cancel these. Don't let the CS desk staff tell you it's "too late now it's at debt recovery". It isn't and this stage has cost PEye nothing. Get them to cancel it anyway.
