Free Traffic Legal Advice

To summarise the situation:
2021:
Paid for a ticket at a car park for the weekend.
Came back to my car on the Sunday, my number plates had been stolen and next to my car was another set of plates for a car that matched the description of mine (same make and colour, checked on DVLA site). I have photos of both my car without plates and the plates I found next to it.
Contacted police immediately to tell them my plates were stolen and drove home.
2022:
Bailiffs come for me (letters) saying that the car park says I left and re-entered the car park (which I definitely did not do), therefore violating the terms of the car park. I explain the situation and then they back down and it goes away.
Side note - The car park had sent fine notices to my previous address, I hadn't updated my address on DVLA I believe.
March 2024:
I get another set of bailiffs coming for me - I explain situation, they say Eurocar Parks are demanding a completed police crime report. I have contacted the police for this who say it could take a month to receive this report.
I am concerned that there will be no such report as when I rang the police they said that this probably wasn't going to be looked into as there was no CCTV looking at where my car was parked.
Hopefully I get a report back and that finally settles this but if I don't I'm worried I won't have a leg to stand on (despite being the victim of a crime and literally doing nothing wrong (I BOUGHT A TICKET))
The fine they are demanding is £180 but I really don't want to pay as I have done nothing to deserve this. This is starting to stress me out though as the last thing I want is to get a CCJ or end up having to pay a massive fine + potential legal fees if I lose in court.

I think we need to clarify what is actually happening here. You say that 'bailiffs' are after you, but from your account of things, this seems very unlikely. Your account of events suggests that the matter has not yet gone to court, which means the people contacting you, presumably just by post(?), are debt collectors, nothing more. Can you show us an example letter?

If it is debt collectors, don't engage with them, they are not interested in conversation, only payment.

What correspondence, if any, have you had directly with the parking company?

Excuse my ignorance.. yes it's debt collectors not bailiffs.

I have not been able to contacted the car park company (Euro Carparks), they say I must contact them with a letter.

I've attached the most recent letter I received from them.

Whether you have updated your V5C or not, you must send a data rectification notice to the DPOs at ECP and DCBL instructing them to rectify your data and update their records with your current address for service and erase your old address. Use the highlighted words.

A PPC that holds two possible addresses for you is a sure way to get a CCJ by default.

As you are obviously easily conned by the name of the company Direct Collection Bailiffs Limited, you should try and understand that they are simply a debt collector and have no power to do anything. They cannot send bailiffs and they cannot take you to court. They are contracted by ECP to scare you into paying an alleged debt.

However, it is almost guaranteed that they will pass this to their sister company, DCB Legal, who will almost certainly send you a Letter of Claim and then an actual county court claim. You are dealing with a serial roboclaim litigator. But do not despair.

You can guarantee that if you follow advice and defend the claim with a robust defence template, they will eventually discontinue before they have to pay the hearing fee. This whole process is designed to get low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree to capitulate and pay into their scam.

Good luck in getting them to drop this with your police crime reference number. You are dealing with intellectually malnourished para-legal and ex-clampers who are only interested in how much they can get you to cough up. Follow the advice you will receive here and they will eventually discontinue.
