Pre Legal Debt Collection Notice - Insufficient Paid Time - Turner Contemporary Car Park Margate

Thank you!

LOC from DCB Legal

See my other post. You can't send an Acknowledgment of Service to a Letter of Claim. When you get the N1SDT claim form, we need to see that, with personal details and the password but NOT dates redacted.

Copy. Thank you

You should however respond to a LOC.

Yes, I'm just looking at Jfollows reply to me. Just trying to figure out 'the reasons why, together with an explanation as to which facts and parts of the claim are disputed'. Any wording for me would be appreciated.

Just keep it simple, they won't read it properly anyway, it's about creating a paper trail so that in the unlikely event this goes to court they'll see that you tried all avenues properly.

If you don’t have the Notice to Keeper then you have time to obtain it by submitting a Subject Access Request to Smart Parking for all the personal data they hold on you. It won’t be soon enough for the reply to the LoC, but it will be soon enough to be used for the county court defence in due course.

From re-reading this thread, you overstayed for 15 minutes and Smart will say that they operate a standard 10 minute “grace period” which allows for overstays, but you exceeded it. Without the original NtK it’s hard to tell if it fails, but don’t identify the driver in anything you write, you are the registered keeper, and when we see the NtK in due course there’s a good change that it fails the requirements of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 to transfer liability from the unknown driver to the registered keeper.

Hi all,

Got a prompt reply. Never had a personal email from someone before. What is the appropriate response here pls?

Have received the Claim Form.

I have had previous with DCB Legal but for a different operator. Shall I follow these previous instructions? - http://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/claim-form-from-dcb-legal-for-overstaying-in-g24-car-park-in-2019/msg68813/#msg68813

Notice to Keeper?

Without the original NtK it’s hard to tell if it fails, but don’t identify the driver in anything you write, you are the registered keeper, and when we see the NtK in due course there’s a good change that it fails the requirements of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 to transfer liability from the unknown driver to the registered keeper.

You have until 28 September to submit an Acknowledgment of Service or a defence, and if you submit an AoS you have until 12 October to submit a defence.

Never got one per my filed paperwork if that's possible.

On August 4 you were advised

If you don’t have the Notice to Keeper then you have time to obtain it by submitting a Subject Access Request to Smart Parking for all the personal data they hold on you. It won’t be soon enough for the reply to the LoC, but it will be soon enough to be used for the county court defence in due course.

The defence you link to is a boilerplate/template defence which is increasingly being struck out by the courts as inadmissible.  You should construct a defence based on your specific circumstances and the Particulars of Claim as set out in the county court claim form.

Ok, my mistake. I shall write to Smart Parking now (this address? complaints@smartparking.com). Any advice on wording and will they reply in time to answer the Claim Form?

I found a template online to use. Hopefully comes before the end of this month as that's my deadline
