DCB LEGAL - After LOC Response - Live Abroad

Hello, 

On March 20, 2025 I received a Letter of Claim from DCB Legal on behalf of G24 for an unpaid parking charge for 'Exceeding the Maximum Duration of Stay' in October 2019.

On April 19th, I replied to the info@dcb address with the forum's full recommended letter, requesting the 30 day hold for debt advice etc. 

I ALSO included my updated address - which is abroad - I am no longer UK based. (I was able to get the LOC through a mail forwarding service.)

On May 14th, I received a reply email from a member of their team - not Sarah Ensall.

They have given me 30 days to respond to their email, which states - "In order to review the matter further, please provide evidence that you no longer reside in the UK"

How should I proceed? What 'evidence' should I give them? (I would like to give them as little as possible!) What will happen next, once it is confirmed that I am abroad?

Thanks so much for your help and this very informative forum.

    Give them quite a bit: utility bill, redacted Visa?

    That's what the person who lives in Porto did last month. Search the forum for what he did.

    You need to end any possibility of a claim. Your evidence will end it.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
