DCB LEGAL, ECP court claim

Fleurlur

Hi all

I have read the newbie thread but I just wanted to clarify some things.

I received a fine for parking in a Euro car park without displaying a valid pay and display ticket. Well actually I had got a pay and display ticket but the machine didn't register half of my license plate for some reason.

So I appealed to Euro CarParka, of course they overturned it like I knew they would. I did the Popla appeal, they also denied my appeal. So I got a couple of letters from DCB Legal demanding I paid my debt, I ignored them as I have done in the past. Only now I have a letter of claim 😳

I understand I need to email their solicitor with the template on the newbie thread but I can't find their email address?

Also I believe I should be complaining to the car park owner but I have no idea who that is as there's several different shops/restaurants and a cinema that all use the same car park.

Any advice please?

Definitely Not a fine, just an invoice, nobody was fined

ECP machines are notorious for being faulty

Use their widely publicised info@ email address

Thankyou and can I just double check this is the template I should be sending?

Dear Sirs,

Your ref: [insert reference number]

Proposed legal proceedings

Claimant: [insert name of parking company]

I refer to your letter of claim.

I confirm that my address for service for the time being is as follows, and any older address must be erased from your records:

[Insert correct address here]

You should revert to your client because the 'propensity to pay' score in my case is zero, so any claim is hopeless and a waste of the court fee (whether 'fronted' by your firm or not). Move on to weaker victims.

The alleged 'debt' is disputed and any court proceedings will be vigorously defended.

Yours faithfully,

If that is the one from the NEWBIE sticky, then yes, it is correct.
