I have received the following email from dcb legal along with another i will post shortly. September 2020, confirmed that parking charge notices falls out of the scope of VAT. There is no requirement for a VAT invoice to be issued to you.                 Further to the above, in accordance with the appeal decision made on 29th July 2020 in Britannia Parking Group Ltd v Semark-Julien [2020] EW Mis 12 (CC), it is not correct to propose this claim should be struck out as an ‘abuse of process’ due to the contractual costs claimed.             In addition to the afore, the sum added is a contribution to the actual costs incurred by our Client as a result of your non-payment. Our Client’s employees have spent time and material attempting to recover the debt. This is not our Client’s usual business and the resources could have been better spent in other areas of the business. Had you of paid as per the Contract, there would have been no need for recovery action so the amount due would not have increased.   With reference to the above, this parking charge is being pleaded as a breach of contract to which damages are payable in light of the matters raised in this correspondence.                  Pursuing a legally owed debt is not harassment. You may wish to seek independent legal advice in this regard. Our client pursuing this matter through the Small Claims Court is the correct course of action.      DCB Legal have been instructed as all previous attempts to resolve the matter have been unsuccessful.       As per your request, your file is now on hold for 30 days from the date of this email, as per your request, to allow you time to seek your own independent legal advice.  You now have 30 days from the date of this email to make payment of £1020.00. Failure to make payment will result in a Claim being issued against you without any further reference.  Payment can be made via bank transfer to our designated client account: -  Account Name: DCB Legal Ltd Client Account    Sort Code: 20-24-09    Account Number: 60964441 You must quote the correct case reference (121960.9282D) when making payment. If you do not, we may be unable to correctly allocate the payment. If further action is taken by us as a result of an incorrect reference being quoted, you will be liable for any further fees or costs incurred.  We would ask that you kindly furnish us with your most up to date telephone number and email address, this can be emailed to us at info@dcblegal.co.uk.  Alternatively, you can contact DCB Legal Ltd on 0203 838 7038 to make payment over the telephone or online at https://dcblegal.co.uk/response/pay-online/.

I haven't had a reply to any of the emails or letters that I sent. If the charges have expired I'm assuming they won't contact me.

I did everything as requested and as of yet not heard anything from them .

I have put a reminder in my phone, it's marked on the calendar and it's also in my diary. On my return home I shall compose the email and save to drafts. Thanks

It was sent by post. 

Sorry it was printed on the reverse side. I've attached a photo.It was received by post. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

They are now saying it's £1020.00 owing with the following dates.23/04/ 201927/04/ 201930/ 04/ 201902/ 05/201903/05/201904/ 05/ 2019

Thanks, it was hastily posted as its only just arrived. Thanks for that. 

This has arrived from dcb legal this morning.

I never answered or replied to anything other than what I've been advised . As always thanks for the help.

Just an update. I had a missed call from dcbl yesterday and as of yet not received anything through the post or by email from them since the last letter they sent out. .

Thanks for that b789. I hadn't realised the reply was from yourself as my phone had a screen issue. I appreciate all of your help and advice.

They sent the NTO to my previous address . So I took the advice on here to issue a DRN to them . They then asked for bills and a photo I.d. for evidence. I refused and sent them a copy of the dcbl letter issued to me. They have now responded that they have erased the other address. I know it's not dcbl legal but just keeping the post upto date.
