PCN - Basepoint Gosport - DCBL

Hello
I received a bailiff collection notice for £170 for a pcn from July. 
It happened during a house move and they have been sending to an old address all pcn notices inciting NTK.
I've requested my details updated and sent them an email disputing the charge.
They won't let me dispute on the website as they say it has been passed to debt collectors. 

What are my next steps? Should I just make a complaint direct to them or with the debt collectors? 

Thanks

    Definitely not a bailiff issue,  just DCBL , powerless debt collectors 

    Which private parking company   ?  Who is  "them"  ?

    Ignore the powerless debt collectors letters,  no contact at all

    Then complain to Parkmaven as keeper by using the complaint link on the BPA AOS members list 

    No blabbing about who was driving 

    And ignore that debt collector letter,  you will find that it says that it is NOT subject to bailiff action,  so is not a bailiffs demand,  it's a debt letter

    Ignore them and the £170 threatograms. See post 4 of the NEWBIES thread.

    I sent a complaint on the 3rd and guess it's a bit early for a reply ( 14 days).
    But I received this, should I still ignore DCBL?

    DCBL write further to your correspondence.

    Please note, DCBL are no longer instructed to recover the outstanding balance in relation to reference number xxxxxxxxx Our Client has referred the case for Legal action with our sister company, DCB Legal.

    You can contact DCB Legal directly via the following methods:

    I got a reply from land owner who said they can't do anything.
    There is a grace period apparently this was passed.

    And when I say land owner I mean Basepoint management....is that right?

    Basepoint management will be acting as agent for the actual landowner so a good place to start.
  • So it seem Basepoint are the landowner but they can't cancel ticket as was so long ago (july)
    Hmmm

    Well they probably can if they insist.

    But the PPC - who have spent no money on the case to get it to this stage - are telling them they can't because the PPC wants money.

    Ignore.
