Received debt collection letter after losing an appeal, however..
« on: »
Hi all,

Sometime last week I received a letter from DCBL, following losing an appeal with the IAS, however the company that initially issued by PCN (National Parking Control Group Ltd) never sent me further information to pay the fee following the appeal.

As the terms of the original PCN, if I lost the appeal I’d be liable to pay the increased fee of £100. That was fine by me, however nobody h from the parking company had contacted me further to make that payment, and passed my case to DCBL which are now wanting £170.

Where do I stand here?

PCN was issued on 30/01/2024
Appeal dismissed on 07/04/2024

Do I ignore the letter or should I contact the parking company?

Thanks in advance

If they have passed the matter on to the debt collectors, there's little chance they'll accept the £100 now. They will probably say that their previous correspondence already indicated how payment could be made.

Assuming you're wanting to fight this, the next step will basically be to wait and see if they decide to take the matter to civil court (small claims track). If you're planning to do this, we can help, but we'll need some more information to do so. If you read the following thread carefully and provide all the information it asks for (in your case, including copies of your appeals and the responses), then that will be a good starting point: READ THIS FIRST - Private Parking Charges Forum guide

There is nothing to stop you writing to the parking company and offering to pay the £100, if they then did take it to court and were only awarded £100 they would then look rather silly and you would probably not be made to pay their costs.
Any such offer MUST be made under a ‘without prejudice save as to costs’ heading so cannot be used to imply any acceptance of liability.
