Hi, thank you for your quick response. I attach the Letter of Claim (two parts, first 4 pages here ). Please help me to fill it right. I much appreciate it . And if I may ask .. Can DCB be legal during the time of the claim, add some more hidden charges and admin fees? I guess I looked n You tube similar situation and young person at the stage of receiving that Letter of Claim decided to pay the full amount in 14 days , but when he called DCB Legal they charge him more than 270pounds.. They scared him, saying that he will have bad credit scoreif he wont pay some of their extra fees ( not sure for what ) . In total, he paid 430 when the letter clearly shows around 270. Thank you

Hi, b789 are you still willing to help? I received a letter today from HM Courts & Tribunals Service saying that they are contacting because someone (DCB Legal) claims that I owe them money. Letter include a Claim Form. Amount of claim is now 190.84.
Court fee 35.00
Legal representative 50.00
Total 275.84
Do you still belive that I shouldn't pay this?
What I should do next? Can that amount be bigger if I lose in court? Not sure even how to fill this form.
What would you do ?
Not a great day for me

Hello So I received today response from DCBlegal on the email I sent.I basically copied and pasted last template from helpful b789 (about not enough evidences)
The response from DCBlegal :
We write in response to your correspondence received in our office on 13th June 2025.
As previously advised, if there are any documents that you have requested, but that are not include within any of our correspondence, it is because we have deemed the request to be disproportionate and/or not relevant to the substantive issues in dispute. We respectfully draw your attention to paragraph 2.1(c) of the Protocol and remind you that both parties are expected to act reasonably and proportionately
The amount owed is no more than the original amount of the Parking Charge plus the recovery fee. Furthermore, our Client is a member of the British Parking Association and pursuant to 24.1b, “Where a Parking Charge becomes overdue and before Court Proceedings have commenced, a reasonable sum (which covers the cost of recovering debt) may be added for the debt recovery fees. This sum must not exceed £70 unless prior approval from the BPA has been granted”. No VAT has been added as the sum owed is a legally owed debt.
It is noted that you are refusing to name the driver on the date in question. It is therefore our position that as the initial notice was issued to you under Schedule 4 (4)(1) of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, which states “The creditor has the right to recover any unpaid parking charges from the keeper of the vehicle”; and as no transfer of liability has been received by our Client, the Client have the right to recover the parking charge from you as the Keeper of the vehicle.
You now have 14 days from the date of this email to make payment of the outstanding balance of £170.00. Failure to make payment will result in a Claim being issued against you.
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 (120673.102219D) 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.
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/.
Kind Regards,

Hi again:) So as I said before, I did send an email with your suggested template. Today I received that response and some attached photos.I will post all photos they sent me too. This is they email:Dear Ewa Grzebinoga,
We write in response to your correspondence received in our office on 15th May 2025.
It is our position that the Letter of Claim (LOC) is compliant with the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims (the Protocol). The LOC provides adequate information for you to identify the debt that our Client is seeking to recover. We respectfully draw your attention to paragraph 2.1(c) of the Protocol and remind you that both parties are expected to act reasonably and proportionately.
As per your request, please find attached the evidence we hold concerning the Parking Charge issued on 18th February 2024. If there are any documents that you have requested, but that are not enclosed with this email, it is because we have deemed the request to be disproportionate and/or not relevant to the substantive issues in dispute.
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.
Please note, the HMRC ‘VAT Supply and Consideration manual’ (VATSC06140), which was last updated on 02 September 2020, confirmed that Parking Charges fall out of the scope of VAT.
You now have 30 days from the date of this email to make payment of the outstanding balance of £170.00. 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 (120673.102219D) 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.

Would you help me with the next step, please? Any advice I can follow?
I'm still unsure if the driver purchased a ticket. The notice letters which attached were sent to the wrong address (previous address- the driverer holds from 2020 driver's licence with the current address).
Thank you in advance.

First of all , thank you so much for response.They act for Euro Car Parks Limited. It came to m by post it s my private car , I am the owner so NtK. I don’t mind to pay if it is really my fault however every time when I parked there I bought a tocket . The Letter of Claim looks scary and I have 30 days to respond. Is there ant temple I can use to force them to provide me with a proof? If I wrote email by myself I think it will look weak and I m afraid that they will take advantage of me not knowing the law . I m really grateful for any support

« on: May 05, 2025, 02:49:08 pm »
Hi , i m new here.I received A letter of claim. It says that’s a formal letter of claim in accordance with the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claim. I received that letter as it looks like I haven’t pay for parking on private land . I m not sure if I should respond or not . I wasn’t given any evidence of it . I remember one situation when I park at the car park and parking machine was broken so I re park my car ( being I believe still on the same parking area ) near to second parking machine and purchased ticket there . I usuallY pay for parking in coins and I don’t keep parking ticket . I m just wonder can I ask for evidence ?? I would appreciate any help of what should I do . Can someone help me with some template. I not British and struggle with English law ? Or should I just ignore this letter from Dbclegal ?
