Thanks for your reply. I have added the image link to the original post. Hopefully I have done sorry correctly.
You have not obscured the password.
But we also need to see the Notice to Keeper etc. as per the READ THIS FIRST
You need to file an Acknowlegment of Service or a defence by 8 September
If you file an AoS you have until 22 September to file a defence.
If you miss these deadlines you will likely get a judgment in default filed against you.

Ignore DCBL and stop talking to them.
If you get something from DCB Legal then respond, but only in writing.
Do not telephone anyone, you need to have a written record of all interactions, email or post only.
If you have a N1SDT county court claim form, please post it as advised, including dates but obscuring personal details and the password.
We can’t advise based on your summary.
I have myself used the other car park at Hathersage Road and it operates as you have described. Did you get a receipt for parking?

Hi all,
I took a family member to hospital and used the hospital carpark. Grafton Street, MRI Manchester. Operated by parking eye. We left very late at night and I paid for parking at the machine. They have an ANPR system in place. It said I owed £5. I paid this and left. The barrier opened on my exit as I had paid.
I received a penalty through the post stating I hadn't paid for parking. I found the payment on my bank statement and used Parking Eye's online appeal form. Submitting my evidence of payment.
Several weeks later I receive a letter stating I hadn't paid the correct parking amount. This was the first time I had any reason to believe I had paid less that I should have have as I simply followed the machine at the car park (the machine shows a picture of your car and your reg). I then went online to find a list of their parking charges and saw that the ANPR machine should have charged me a higher amount, either £10 or £15 depending on how long I was there. Not £5.
I then submitted an email to parking eye stating their ANPR issued the wrong amount and that I had not deliberately tried to avoid paying the correct amount, I had paid what the machine told me to pay and that I was willing to pay any difference owed in parking. I have a record of this email.
Following my email appear to Parking Eye I receive a letter from DCBL stating notice of intended legal charge for unpaid parking. I spoke with them on the phone several time again stating I did not try to avoid parking charges, the ANPR was faulty and that I would be happy to pay the correct charge.
Parking eye have now contacted the court with a potential CCJ claim. I have 14 days to respond.
Does anyone have any advice?
