Free Traffic Legal Advice

HI there,

I received a letter of claim for a parking ticket not paid back in 2022

I responded with your standard template I saw in another thread and they have now come back with following reply

Thank you for your email.

 

Please note that DCB Legal were solely instructed to send the Solicitor Reminder Letter in this matter. DCBL (Direct Collections Bailiffs Limited) continue to remain instructed on the matter, and as such, all further correspondence should be sent to them directly.

 

I have received the attached Claim form today and have been asked to respond to avoid CCJ
Kindly let me know what should be the response

That’s because you did not receive an LoC and simply responded to DCB Legal acting as a debt collector. However, you have now shown us a claim. Did you ever receive an actual LoC after the one, that wasn’t one, you responded to?

Before I provide advice on how to respond, answer the question. This is important, because what you imagined was an LoC, wasn’t.

Did you ever receive an actual Letter of Claim? If you’re unsure, show us what you received.

The letter I received was definitely letter of claim earlier this year when I created this post. However I have a bad habit of just reading such warning letters and chucking them in the bin should keep them from now onwards. The letter did say letter of claim on the top hence I came to this forum to create the post.

Also obscure the password which appears in your first post at least, simply because anyone wanting to cause you problems could use it - obviously not any of the ‘regulars’ but you never know.

I can't understand what you are referring to? Can you see my login password for this website on my first post? I dont see it myself so not sure how to obscure it

It’s as clear as day, so I don’t really know how you can’t see it. In the box headed “Important Note”.

Heres a screen shot of my first post as I see it on my screen so cant see important note box here 

Reply #2 above

Can't edit the image and post as I cant see the option. 

The modify option I am seeing for posts that I uploaded today is not showing on the old posts
