NPC Parking PCN - Parked without a cashless payment session -
Winnersh Triangle
DIR By: Tim
Date: March 13, 2026, 5:37 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Good Afternoon,
In November of last year, the vehicle (of which i am the
registered keeper) was parked in Winnersh Triangle, payment is
via the RingGo app.
Due to no signal being avaiable there was a delay between
parking and payment being taken on the ringgo app, payment for
the full parking event did get taken though.
It would seem, between the parking, and payment the car park was
visited and photos were taken of the vehicle and a PCN was
received.
An appeal with the payment refernce/invoice was submitted on the
24th December, and an email was recieved from NPC saying they
had recieved my appeal.
I have had no further correspondance from NPC until today when i
recieved a notice of debt recovery from dcbl.
Timleine is as follows:
date of contrevention: 11/12/25
Date of PCN - 12/12/25 (£100 reduced to 60 if paid in 14 Days)
appealed - 24/12/25
Notice of Debt Recovery - recioeved 13/3/26 - (now £170)

Just wondering what the options are now, i assume wait for dbcl
to "refer" it back to PCN but any advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Sit it out.
You are now in a process.
Wait for Letter Before Claim.

Hi All,
Another letter from the DBCL lot! Is a letter of Claim the same
as a Letter before claim?
Is there anything i need to do with this one, or is waiting for
the next one.

It’s from DCB Legal, not DCBL, and - yes - it’s a Letter of
Claim or a Letter before Claim, they’re the same thing.
Please post the original PCN without the dates obscured, as
requested in
HTML https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/read-this-first-private-parking-charges-forum-guide/.<br
/>Is your summary of dates as posted instead correct, ie the PCN
dated 1 day after the parking?

Just been looking around at a reply, am i right in thinking I
can respond to this by letter / email, rather then filling in
the reply form / financial forms
I have seen this as a template, just want to check this is still
current info.
