Letter of Claim DCBLegal

Hello everyone, I am aware of the advised steps in the newbie thread and will do them. I have a slightly separated question. My case involves a car park that has been in the local press for giving people unfair fines, so I emailed my MP about it. His caseworker has now responded asking for information so that they can take action on my behalf. What does this mean, and should I take them up on the offer as well as respond myself? I already had my POPLA appeal ludicrously refused, and I dont want to be in a position where the MP is also saying "looks like there's nothing we can do" because im worried it will leave me hamstrung in court.

Link to my POPLA post for assistance.

    Definitely!
    I don't want to be in a position where the MP is also saying "looks like there's nothing we can do" because i'm worried it will leave me hamstrung in court.
    Doesn't matter if that does happen! DCB Legal always discontinue defended single PCN claims. No worries. Your MP might get this cancelled and save you the trouble.

     I already had my POPLA appeal ludicrously refused,
    We hope you are ready to show your evidence of that POPLA mess up to the government this week?

    If you haven't already, please do the government's Public Consultation before it closes for responses. We need every poster to complete this vital Consultation before the deadline.

    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 on that thread. I have covered almost every question, providing ideas if you agree with our stance on things like DRFs, which we say must be banned.

    And there must be a single, impartial appeals service run by a separate service outsourced by the government, using Assessors who are identified by name and fully independent from the parking industry in their past or present connections.

    Your evidence can help with that answer!

    Ordinary people like you are falling victim to this scam 15 million times per annum. Motorists need your voice added please.

    CLOSES ON FRIDAY. Just days to go.


    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
