DCBL - NOTICE OF INTENDED ENFORCEMENT - CCJ £320

Turkington29

Hi all,

I am new here, really hoping somebody can help as this process is all a bit new to me.

I received a parking fine at Jumpin Fun in Derby, unbeknownst to me the car park had been split into 2 halves, one half owned by Parking Eye and one half owned by NCP. There was no signage to suggest this was the case and it’s always been one paying machine for many years.

I parked in a space and followed the signage "Pay Station this way" (based in the Parking Eye side of the car park) pointing to the pay station (which is based in the NCP side of the car park) and paid for a valid ticket however the sign was an old sign from when the car park was all owned by one company so therefore Parking Eye have claimed i didn't pay for my parking.

After following advice from peers who have read this forum, i ignored all letters from Parking Eye but it now appears after doing a credit check that i have a CCJ on my record which went on in May 2025.

I have received this letter below off DCBL.

What are the next steps to take?

I have just come back from my honeymoon so any help to get this resolved would be great.

Car Park Pictures were taken a couple of days after 16/12/2024 where they had actually put more signage out to clarify the split.

Kind Regards

Jack

Did you receive a County Court Claim form?  

Did you submit a Defence?  

Did you submit a Witness Statement?  

Did you have a court hearing?

I was sure that Copeland Street is run/ruined by Excel Parking. Not NCP or ParkingEye.

Am I wrong? This looks to have nothing to do with a CCJ via DCB Legal for ParkingEye. Completely different.

Did you ignore a Claim form? Why?

Or did DCB Legal file a claim to an old address? If you honestly never got a Claim Form, you need to ring the CNBC first thing at 8.30am on the dot, and ask them the details and date of that ParkingEye Claim and if it was by DCB Legal or was it filed by ParkingEye themselves?

Also ask which address was used for you, and ask the date of the CCJ and for the Particulars of Claim to be emailed to you. Then show us those POC.

I appealed and submitted a defence (with images already shared) to Parking Eye and received this response.

When i went back to the car park they had removed the sign pointing to the other pay machine..how ironic.

I have never received a Claim Form.

Thanks for your responses.
As i said i have never contested a parking fine so this is all new so bare with me.

You wouldn't submit a 'defence' to ParkingEye. I think you mean 'appeal'. But this correspondence with PE would have been before any court claim was made. 

If you didn't receive a court claim, you/we need to get to the bottom of that.  

Did PE send the very first letter (within a few days of the parking event) notifying you of the initial £100 parking charge to your current address?  

Other than the court claim form, has all other parking-related correspondence been sent to your current and correct address?

Turkington29

Yes sorry appeal.

Yes PE sent the first letter 

All correspondence has been the same address. I have not seen a court claim form though.

Then you need to do everything that coupon mad explained earlier

You need to now urgently follow the advice given by @Coupon-mad yesterday.  Come back with result.
