DCB Legal - Letter of Claim o/b/o Smart Parking - what to do?

Posts: 9 Forumite
Dear experts,
I have the below. I never got anything on this until DCBL wrote to me out of the blue a few months back. I read up on DCB Ltd and therefore didn't do anything other than email them and Smart Parking to ask for proof and evidence of the carpark over-stay.
My issue with this is the parking fine is from Jan 24, I never got the initial letter etc with (you'd assume) evidence and option to pay reduced rate etc. They did have my old address before V05 was updated.
But now they have made it a letter of claim and I understand this is the time to act, can anyone please advise or point me in the right direction?
Much appreciated!

Reply as per post 2 of the NEWBIES thread. Await the claim form then (easy stage, no risk) copy the recent defence by @Micky2022PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

thanks @Coupon-mad, have read the Micky2022 defence, reads well (for someone with no experience in this like myself!) - it is very recent though and not played-out yet.
Are there good examples of ones here which have already successfully lead to the claim/debt being dropped?0 -
