Good morning,
I was contacted last year by Direct Collection Bailiffs regarding an unpaid parking charge from 27/04/2023. This was the first time I heard about this. I then contacted Euru Car Parks Limited to get some information on the PCN as I had not received any of the letters relating to this PCN previously.
I advised Euro Car Parks that this was likely a multi-site visit as I had no recollection of this and asked them to stop pursuing this.(See attached).
I have then received numerous letters from DCBL for debt collection and threatening all sorts of action. I was advised wrongly or rightly to ignore them.
I have now received a HM Courts & Tribunals Service letter for a sum of £286. I was looking for some advice on how to deal with this and whether it's best to just pay it or whether it's likely this will go to court? Excuse my ignorance here, not had to deal with something like this before.
It also says on the letter from the County Court you must respond to the claim before the response date on the enclosed form, however I do not see any response date. I have been away with work and the issue date on the court letter is 09/07/2025. Does anyone know what the usual response time is on this. I really don't want to end up with a CCJ as I am looking to by my first home in the next couple of years.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
