I agree, the response to the Letter of Claim isn’t too vital, you respond as above and that’s fine.
But you will need to file a defence to a court claim, so you should research this now so that you have it ready in due course. A defended case with a proper defence will very likely end up with a discontinuation, but you need to follow the paperwork path first.

I have been reading some thread including this https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/dbc-legal-letter-of-claim/30/

If you have one where the claim was successful please include it here.

What do you mean by “claim was succesful”? Claim by whom? Success by whom?

DCB Legal initiates court proceedings because it knows that many people ignore them, and then it applies for and gets a judgement in default against them.

People who follow the process and file a defence, on the other hand, they eventually give up with. We can’t promise anything, but something like >99% of defended cases get discontinued. It’s not worth their while actually taking it to court, sending people, paying expenses, for a couple of hundred pounds.

But you will need to file a defence in due course.

I meant success by us not the parking companies. I am looking for threads where we have successfully defended a claim by parking companies.

Generally speaking, any thread which 'goes deep' (ie 4 or 5 pages plus) is normally a success story.

Received a reply from DCB legal.they only attached picture of the car entering and exiting the car park.

We write in response to your correspondence received in our office dated 27th of March 2026.
We now respond to the same as follows.

 

Please find attached all relevant evidence we hold on the matter.

 

When parking on private land, the contractual terms of the site are set out on the signs. You are entering a contract, agreeing to the terms by parking, and staying on the site. Parking in breach of the terms as stipulated on the signage means that you are then breaking the terms of the contract.

 

The terms and conditions on the signs clearly provided tariff rates to pay for parking, if the correct payment was not made a parking charge would be issued. The parking charge was issued correctly as you failed to pay for the correct time your vehicle was on site.

 

A Notice to Keeper was issued to you. You were afforded the opportunity to; appeal the parking charge, transfer liability to the driver (if it was not you) or make payment. Neither a successful appeal, nor an adequate nomination were received, yet payment remains outstanding.

 

You now have 30 days from the date of this email to make payment of £170.00. Failure to make payment may result in a Claim being issued against you without any further reference.
Payment can be made via bank transfer to our designated client account:

Account Name: DCB Legal Ltd Client Account
Sort Code: 20-24-09
Account Number: 60964441
 

You must quote the correct case reference (711200999882PEL) when making payment. If you do not, we may be unable to correctly allocate the payment. If further action is taken by us as a result of an incorrect reference being quoted, you will be liable for any further fees or costs incurred.

Alternatively, you can contact DCB Legal Ltd on 0203 838 7038 to make payment over the telephone or online at
