Unfair Civil Enforcement Ltd and Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd PCN

doughsaver

Hello MSE Forumites,

I received an unfair PCN at my dentist, I am in the process of getting proof that i did have an appointment that day. The reason i got a letter from the "the bailiffs" is because i have moved addresses and they managed to track me down to my new address (DVLA). 

I wanted to ask, if i am correct in my next step being directly making an appeal with Civil Enforcement LTD on their website and whether i should include a picture of the appointment letter i will receive which will be stamped by the dentist?  My first course of action was to ignore these completely but i have read in the MSE guide that ignoring these letters when you have moved addresses can be a bad idea because you can miss the official court summon. 

Thank you in advance!

CEL are unlikely to let you appeal it, but check out the Code of Practice about possibly reissuing the pcn to your current address 

In any case inform CEL about the correct entities for the service of papers,  a Data Rectification Notice under GDPR 

The DCBL is a powerless debt collectors letter

Thank you for your help, I will request the PCN to be issued to my current address, could you explain what i should do once they do send me a correct entity for the service of papers?

I have read the sticky thread too, i don't think this was mentioned or i might of misunderstood something.

Thank you for your help!

Just to clarify you mean email the dpo for 1) For a copy of The PCN letter and 2) To notify them of my correct address in case they proceed to court?

You could ask them for a copy but it wont make any difference really 
You will get a court claim
