dcb legal and secure parking solutions

Hello I'd appreciate some help please

My car was parking in a pay &display near a hospital (car park not owned by hospital). Paid for a 1 week stay and ended up overstaying due to requiring an unexpected life-saving operation
2 PCN were attached to the car - appealed these, lost and paid for the anyway.
Received a notice to keeper claiming a 3rd PCN was issue (not attached to the car!!!)
Wrote a letter to secure parking solutions explaining the situation (explained it would be illogical to ignore the third pcn). Requested to appeal as it was outside of the 28 day period - not my fault as I did not get the windscreen pcn - they did not respond
Wrote a complain letter to them - again no response
Attached copy of hospital discharge letter, proof of the other 2 PCN paid.
Received 2 dcbl letters  - ignored
Now have received dcbl legal letter of claim
Could you advise on the action to take please?

    Study the Letter of Claim advice given by coupon mad in post 2 in announcements near the top of the forum 
  • Thanks for your response
    I have just read through that, but they did not give me any reply forms mentioned in the post. 
    Would I be correct in emailing the response directly to info@dcblegal.co.uk, I couldn't find an alternate email.

    That's correct,  very good 
  • Thank you
    In the mean time, would I be right to chase secure parking solutions for a response to my complaint? or is it best to just sent the email and await a response

    Just wait. 
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
