DCBL are debt collectors and should be ignored.
Eventually you may get a Letter of Claim from DCB Legal which is not the same entity.
We need to see the correspondence, what you said to them, the original PCN.
If you did not identify the driver, they can not make you as the registered keeper liable, because the law to enable this has not been enacted in Scotland yet.
Please read the READ THIS FIRST and post what you can, only redacting personal details, not dates or times.
You are also right that they can not make a vehicle liable in any way.

Hi all,
would appreciate some advice. I received a charge on late Sept', based on arrival and departure picture of vehicle registered to me from Group Nexus for parking in a retail park in Livingston Scotland.
based as far as I can tell on an entry and exit picture of a vehicle. Aa I work overseas for periods I didn't open the letter until after the 14 days appeal window.
this prevented me from doing the online appeal, no email address was available, only address. So I wrote them a letter stating my case, being
the entry picture was based on a visit to this carpark to Pets at Home, duration of the stay less than 15mins.
the exit picture was based on a later visit by another driver who visited Halfords
it's impossible to spend 4hrs in this 5 shop retail park
they haven't responded, they have handed over DCBL bailiffs who are now sending final notice
I'd like to think I should have an opportunity to resolve this or correspond with nexus, even with the extended response time due to being overseas.
Does anyone have any input or similar experience? Do I need to take this serious
Thanks
Graham
