CCJ Notice via Euro Car Parks, DCB, DEBT RECOVERY PLUS

ballyellie

Morning all,

I have been issued with a CCJ claim form requesting that I pay ~£300. I originally thought it was a scam as the paperwork isn't very official looking but having checked with the Civil National Business Centre, it is indeed legit and unless I pay within the next ~30 days it will affect my credit score. As someone intending to buy a house in the next 2 years, this concerns me!

I originally got a parking fine from Euro Car Parks in Summer 2023, unknown to me until the DCB letters started arriving. Turned out my brother had topped up the car parking charge at the adjoining pay machine which served the next door car park...

I checked on this forum whether I should be worried about the DCB/Debt Recovery Plus letters that I began receiving and felt reassured enough that they had no real power or impact and followed the advice of just ignoring them.

However, now I have been issued with a CCJ claim against me which, unexpectedly, is real... I have read through the forum info but there is so much of it, I'm a little confused at where I start, especially as I have a limited number of days to sort it or just pay up.

Many thanks for your help in advance!

Its not a CCJ claim,  its a court claim via MCOL from ECP via DCB Legal 

Its definitely a legitimate official claim,  not a scam,  despite the paperwork they use

Post the issue date from the claim form 

Post a redacted picture of the POC on the lower left of the claim form after hiding the VRM details first

No you haven't.

You have a claim form from DCB Legal. Easily defended. No hearings. No money.

Did you miss that every other thread is exactly like yours?!  Read a few. Easy to defend. Show us the POC redacted of the data you see redacted by everyone else with a bog standard DCB Legal claim.

And - after a fee more posts when you become a 'forumite' which comes with post-editing rights - please remove this from your thread title because it's nothing to do with the DCB Ltd and Debt Recovery Plus letters that you correctly ignored:
