Private parking tickets / Contractual/ DBCL PCN
« on: December 21, 2025, 09:12:29 pm »Good evening all, I received a PCN from Contractual as the registered keeper of the car. The place (Wickes) where the car was parked, use to have a free parking for 90mins, perhaps is the reason the driver parked there. I sent the below response from research:
I have received your Notice to Keeper xxxxx for vehicle VRM xxxx
You have failed to comply with the requirements of Schedule 4 of The Protection Of Freedoms Act 2012 namely, but not limited to, failing to specify the period of parking to which this notice applies as prescribed by section 9 (2) (e) of the Act. You cannot, therefore, transfer liability for the alleged charge from the driver at the time to me, the keeper.
There is no legal requirement to name the driver at the time and I will not be doing so.
I do not expect to hear from you again, or your debt collectors, except to confirm that no further action will be taken on this matter and my personal details have been removed from your records.
They responded with a Rejection letter and soon afterwards, I received another letter from DBCL as against Contractual. which I ignored. I have received two more letters and most recently a Letter of Claim. I will appreciate some advice on how I should proceed on this matter. Thank you
