Civil enforcement parking ticket at free car park

sensible_chap

Hello,   i have just received  a NOTICE OF DEBT RECOVERY from dcbl ltd (Direct collection Bailiffs ltd) for £170  (UNPAID PARKING CHARGE) for parking in a free car park. 
This is the first notice i have received from them but other letters may have gone to a previous address. Date of alleged offence was 24/02/2025 and the first i have heard about it is 23/04/25. 
My details are correct on my V5 and have been for quite a while although it is possible at the time of alleged offence my old address was still on the V5 (crossover period to new address). 
The alleged offence is "failed to obtain a permit IAW the notified terms) . They qoute POFA and are BPA.   I am led to believe that they needed to notify the driver within 14 days which they clearly have not (its taken them nearly 2 months).  Obviously i cannot appeal now (or can i somehow?), so what should my next move be please guys ?.   Kind regards

That will be it.

You need to read the NEWBIES FAQS thread 4th post; (the one with the photos of these tedious letters).

Come back when your stage moves to that shown in the SECOND post of the Announcement thread that you read before posting.
