Any advice on best way to proceed? Should I respond? Or wait it out until the letter of claim? Or settle with them?


-----------------------------------

We write in response to your correspondence received in our office dated 23/11/2025.
We now respond to the same as follows.

Please find evidence requested attached. If there are any documents that you have requested, but that are not attached, 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 a genuine pre-estimate of the losses incurred in managing the parking location to ensure compliance with the clearly displayed terms and conditions. However, in Parking Eye Ltd v Beavis, it was found, both at County Court and Court of Appeal level, that appealing a Parking Charge on the basis that the amount is not a genuine pre-estimate of loss is, in fact, not a successful legal defence.

WITHOUT PREJUDICE SAVE AS TO COSTS
 
To assist the Court in achieving its overriding objective, our Client may be prepared to settle this case. I can confirm our Client would be agreeable to your offer of  £200.00 in full and final settlement of this Claim. The current outstanding balance is £340.00
 
Should you be agreeable to this offer, please confirm the same within 30 days. Failure to make payment may result in the matter progressing to the next stage. 

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/.

Also interestingly, the letter from dcblegal has a mis-spelling of my surname. Looking at the v5c, it looks like the dvla has mis read my writing when I filled in the ownership form and misread ni for m. So this has transferred to the letter dcblegal have sent to me.

Obviously I will contact dvla to correct the v5c. But the question is, should I correct dcblegal when I sign off the reply letter above?

sorry i couldnt see how to attach the letter initially.
here is a link to the letter.
