TWO court claims received from DCB Legal - unsure how to fight these

ciantraingle

Hello everyone,


I am posting on behalf of my mom who received two court claims from DCB legal for two different parking contraventions. One from Parking eye for not paying for parking at a hospital when going for an interview and one from UKPCL for parking in an area that required a permit. She claims that she did not realise she had to pay for parking at the hospital when going in for an interview and for the second, she did not recall seeing signage for permit only parking. 

I always assumed that permit contraventions would be a 'Penalty' Charge Notice issued by the council, not a Parking Charge Notice, but both claims state they are Parking Charge Notices. Therefore, I am unsure if the permit contravention is worth taking to court or best settling with DCB Legal. 

My mom doesn't have much time or knowledge to be able to pursuit both of these and would prefer to settle out of court. Should I advise her to follow the steps in the NEWBIES thread and yield for peace of mind or to go ahead and fight both of these. If she does, on what grounds can she dispute/defend?

She should login to MCOL and complete the AOS online for each one,  separately,  to gain extra time,  so fight

Neither should be paid

Go to the Template Defence thread!

One of those needs one version and the other one the other version.  You'll see when you read it.
