DCBL Letter

I have a DCBL trying to recover debt for a Euro Car Parks charge from 2022.

I was not the driver at the time. Can I still transfer liability now to the driver?

It has not got to small claims yet nor have I received a LBA.

    Correct, you can name the actual driver, plus address for the service of papers, anytime up until the Money Claim is issued

    But do you want to? I wouldn't.

    Would the driver be better than you at following our very easy instructions to copy & paste our Template defence to the claim, which - if you cheerfully ignore the £170 threatograms and let DCB Legal issue a small claim - will be discontinued by Xmas?

    You realise you'll never pay a penny?

    Do you really want this wound back to PCN stage with the poor driver having to waste time appealing, which is FAR harder to do than a simple MSE defence is for you?

    And appeals don't work so unless you can get the retailer to cancel it, one of you will end up with a court claim.

    WHICH IS A GOOD THING.

    I say, that person should be you. Easy to see off! Let it happen. You want the 'End Game'.

    Obviously your DCB letter didn't even need a thread because it's already shown in the pictures in the 4th post of NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST.

    Did you miss the pictures and that advice?

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