ECP DCB Legal - ticket for "parking" out of hours

Coupon-mad

Yes but that's 6 months ago. The letter after that and the claim came from DCB Legal.

Ah I see, I assume theres no way for me to check my claim form online through MCOL, so my question now would be regarding my paragraph 3 - is this the correct template to be using without requiring any editing apart from the date?

As I don't have my claim form I am unsure if the section regarding "No PCN was issued on xx/xx/202x" is relevant. Unless perhaps they just use a cookie cutter template and have it in pretty much all their claim forms?

Why not just use the suggested para 3 already linked in the Template?

Referring to the POC: paragraph 1 is denied. The Defendant is not indebted to the Claimant. Paragraph 2 is denied. No PCN was "issued on xx/xx/202x" (the date of the alleged visit).  Whilst the Defendant is the registered keeper, paragraphs 3 and 4 are denied. The Defendant is not liable and has seen no evidence of a breach of prominent terms.  The quantum is hugely exaggerated (no PCN can be £170 on private land) and there were no damages incurred whatsoever. The Claimant is put to strict proof of all of their allegations.

I bet that DCB Legal mentioned Contravention,  not Issued,  so remove that section that says No PCN ...... visit)

They changed the wording around the time the claim form was issued,  so you will have to assume that yours is the latest example 

I even linked an example for you to study back on page 1, a cookie cutter example,  here's another one of many

ECP Issued the claim form but via DCB Legal   ( not DCBL  ), so please change your thread title to something more suitable like 

ECP DCB Legal court claim 2025

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 ON FRIDAY 26th SEPTEMBER.
