DCB Legal - Letter of claim and response

ak_lfc22

Hi,

I received a letter of claim from DCB Legal for a PCN that I didn't receive for my place of work in 2023. Jct 9 Retail Park, Warrington.

I sent the template from the newbie thread also explaining that I was on a whitelist for Smart Parking as I parked there every day for months. I haven't had a response from Smart Parking and my ex-employer has gone bust so I can't get any evidence from them.

This was the response from DCB;

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 0203 838 7038, as a matter of urgency so we may discuss this matter with you and avoid a Claim being issued against you.

If you are at all unsure of your legal position, you may wish to seek independent legal advice

 

Kind Regards,

Litigation Support Team

Any suggestions on how next to proceed would be very much appreciated.

Ignore them and wait for the inevitable N1SDT court claim pack from the CNBC in Northampton using MCOL in s month or two

Ignore that and let them send a claim form. It's what you want because all DCB / Smart claims are discontinued before hearings so it's just a matter of defending and playing the game.
