I’ve received a follow-up letter from Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd (DCBL) about a parking charge.
I am not the registered keeper of the vehicle.
This is the first and only correspondence I’ve seen; I have not responded to DCBL or the parking company Euro Car Parks Ltd.
Apparently, I have overstayed the maximum amount of time allowed on 15/4/2022. However, this is the first letter I have received about this, dated 20/5/2025.
I’d like help with two things:
1. Do I need to pay this charge, given I’m not the registered keeper?
2. Could this affect the registered keeper’s credit score if left unpaid?
It does say at the bottom of the letter that “This case is not subject to High Court or bailiff action”, but I am not familiar with the laws on this matter and would like some further clarification, if possible.
I have included pictures of the letter I have received below.
Any advice would be appreciated before I take further steps.
