Thank you for the link to the legislation, but it is beyond me.  I am worried. Can you tell me please - if the court upholds this against me will I be liable for a larger fine and costs? Thank you.

Yes in part because IMO the signs' compliance or otherwise with the Code of Practice is not a matter of law which is all that a court would consider, and the keeper is past the point of relying upon code failures (appealing to IAS) because the next formal step is legal proceedings. Whether the signs clearly convey what the law demands in order to form a contract is a different matter and therefore clear pictures are needed of the operator's evidence from their website as requested.

Similarly with the Notice to Keeper, THE legal document which must be served and compliant if the operator wishes to hold the keeper (who they do know)liable in lieu of the driver(who they don't). Hence why we need a clear version readable in every regard pl.

You are obviously confused by all this legalese and pontifications. My advice is as follows:

Ignore everything. Forget about appealing. The only way this PCN is going to be resolved will be when a county court claim for debt is issued to you. We can provide a suitable defence if/when the time comes.

A claim is easily defended with our assistance. No amount of appealing will ever get an Excel/VCS PCN cancelled.

What you need to be aware of, for now, is that any debt collector letters or reminders can be safely ignored. The debt collectors are powerless and rely on the recipients gullibility and ignorance to scare the into paying the now inflated (by a fake £70) charge.

Never, ever communicate with a debt collector. They cannot do anything except scare you. Now that you are aware of that fact, you can safely ignore them.

Thank you.  Today I have received the latyest from dcblegal.  Pay within 30 days etc.  I will ignore this.
Can you tell me please - because I did forget to display my badge is there a chance a court will uphold this and fine me a significant amount of money? Many thanks again

If its DCB Legal contacting you rather than DCBL that sounds like it could be a letter of claim. Please show us.

If they're using DCB Legal we will almost certainly be able to get the matter discontinued for you without the need for a hearing. But, even if the worst happened and you lost in court there will be no fine, a loss would generally be no more than £200.

That letter is a useless debt collect letter from DCBL. You can safely ignore it. They are powerless to do anything.

What you are waiting for is a Letter of Claim (LoC) that will be sent by their sister company, the bulk litigator, DCB Legal.

Hello.  It has been many weeks now since the last letter from DCB Legal, so perhaps it is all over.  I wanted to say thank you for supporting me through that awful time!  I had a lot on at the time and it was the last straw, so thanks again for all that sage advice and saving me the money.  You are good people :)

Don't assume that. There's a fair chance it isn't. Keep an eye out for further correspondence.
