Letter before claim DCB legal
Pony25
Posts: 2 Newbie
Hi. My son overstayed in a KFC car park last June 2024 because he got a flat battery. He also said he didn’t see the signage as it was 11pm at night and dark (he is a new driver).
We’ve ignored the parking charge letters but about a month ago we received a letter before claim from DCB. I’ve read the newbies thread and requested 30 days to take legal advice. I’ve also written to the landowner explaining the circs and asking them to remove the charge. I haven’t heard back from either the landowner or DCB. I’m fully expecting the next letter to be a claim.
Can you advise me what I need to do should a claim land? I don’t want my son to end up with a CCJ but equally I don’t want to give in to these bullies
thanks.
thanks.

No panic.
No CCJ is risked as long as he doesn't ignore or miss seeing a claim form.
All the advice you need is in the second post of the NEWBIES thread.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Ignore them and wait for the inevitable N1SDT court claim pack from the CNBC in Northampton using MCOL to arrive in the post2
