Letter of claim received from DCB Legal

yellowbeatle00

About 3 years ago, I went to pick up a heater off a student who was living at some flats and was moving out. I went to address he gave and when I got there he said to me he was unable to carry it down so I said I would be able to help and asked where to leave my car. He said just here is fine hes a resident anyway so I literally went up with him and grabbed and was down within 5m and there was a ticket on my car. 

I received a bunch of letter for 2-3 years which I ignored before receiving a letter of claim 2 weeks ago finally. I responded with an email I found on the newbie thread which confirmed my address said i would defend this claim in court, notified them i was seeking independent advice and asked them the two questions under PAP. 

They responded recently via email saying:


We write to acknowledge safe receipt of your formal response to our Letter of Claim sent to you in respect of this matter.

Having considered your response, our position in respect of this matter remains as per our Letter of Claim. We note that despite your points of dispute, there is an absence of any evidence in support of the same so that we may consider this with our Client. If you do have evidence which you believe supports your dispute, please furnish us with the same within the 30 days afforded to you.

As it stands, the initial 30 day timeframe under the Pre-Action Protocol remains, and County Court proceedings will be issued following expiry of this 30 day period, without any further reference to you.

We strongly recommend that you contact a member of our dispute resolution team on, as a matter of urgency so we may discuss this matter with you and avoid a claim being issued against you".

Unsure as to whether to reply and try get out of this or just ignore like ive being doing all along? Would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.

Not quite sure what you mean by PPC. This was the first Notice to Keeper postal pcn I still have

Acronyms like PPC are explained in the 5th post in the newbies sticky thread in announcements 

So its GBP Management  Ltd  , a BPA AOS member 

You redacted the dates and times,  so hard to check some details 

You are now waiting for the N1SDT claim form pack to arrive in the post from the CNBC in Northampton using MCOL,  like this ongoing saga

Where the dates and time needed for something, can repost if needed? Issue date 19/08/22, Letter date 21/09.

Dates and wordings are used to determine compliance with Pofa2012,  or non compliance,  as explained in the newbies sticky thread in announcements,  with pictures,  but you haven't mentioned anything about compliance or not 

Clearly they got the NTK PCN letter to the keeper between day 29 and day 56

I cant see anything about observations times, or time on site etc either

The NTK increase to £127 not only breaches their COP, but, it also fails to repeat the NTD details.

As well as no period of parking and illegally demanding £127, the NTK tells lies about the POFA right to recover:

Please show us the back, too.
