I refer you to the response I gave in reply #24 in this thread.

You are not bound by the ignorant and moronic response given by the POPLA assessor. Do not pay anything. Ignore all subsequent debt recovery letters.

Debt collectors are powerless to do anything except to try and persuade the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree to pay up out of ignorance and fear.

Hello all.  I received a missed call this morning from DCBL (bailiffs).  This is the only thing I can think they'd be contacting me about, however I never received any court paperwork in relation to this ticket.

I did use DCBL myself a few years ago and was successful in getting my money back, but I'm not sure they'd calling about that all this time later.

Should I call them back and ask what it's about or ignore?  They did not leave a message. I once had a CCJ against me for a parking ticket without my knowledge because all paperwork was sent to a very old address.  I was successful in getting it set aside and I won the case plus damages.  So I know they could have gone to court without me knowing.

How can I check?  Thanks.

Never talk to either DCBL or DCB Legal.
Everything in writing.
If you call them you open yourself up to saying things you will later regret.
Block their number and hang up if you can’t.

If you changed address without informing them, you need to tell MET to update your details.

OK thanks. I've lived here for ten years. Just concerned why bailiffs are calling when I've received no paper work.

They are probably trying to extract a “settlement” from you, whereas if you stay the course you will pay £0. Or just trying to frighten you into paying the whole amount.

They are not bailiffs, it’s just a word they use in their name to frighten people.

OK thank you.  I have received a letter from them today.  I will ignore until or if they send court papers.  Thanks so much.

If it’s DCBL, then ignore.
If it’s DCB Legal, please post here.
A Letter of Claim should not be ignored.
