Moneyclaim form received .. ParkingEye via DCB legal
DIR By: hypnotic63
Date: June 3, 2026, 6:23 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I wish to thank everyone in advance for any help offered
The driver went to pick up a family from a cruise ship almost
two years ago. There was a delay in disembarkation meaning the
driver got to the pick up point a bit too early and was
instructed by cruise staff to the adjacent car parking area.
Obviously there is no chance of remembering who the staff member
was now after all this time.
Over the course of the next two years there has been no letters
or correspondence of any sort until a Moneyclaim letter arrived
through the letterbox Last weekend.
I have been through this process with the forums help before and
the parking company backed out before going to court.
Any advice again would be greatly appreciated.

ParkingEye replied the same day ....
"Thank you for your email.
In order for us to ensure that the information we provide is
your personal data, we would require further identifiers and
clarification of the data sought.
If this request pertains to a Parking Charge you have received,
please advise of any reference numbers that apply, your full
address at which it was issued and the relevant vehicle
registration.
If your request solely pertains to vehicle data, we will require
evidence of your continued status as registered keeper. Thus, we
would require further identification documents.
Please provide the following:
• Your full name
• Your full current address shown on your log book (V5C)
• A copy of your log book (V5C) for proof of continued status
as Registered Keeper"
Will a scan of my passport be enough?

Your full address and your vehicle registration mark should be
enough according to their letter.

ParkingEye has not yet replied to my SAR and I would not expect
them to until after my defence has been filed.
I need to get a defence ready to file but have no idea what to
write down. Can someone please post something I can use and
tweak to suit my needs.

If you want sample defences for Parking Eye/DCB Legal, I suggest
you search the forum and find something you can use. Then post
your proposed defence here for comments. I wouldn’t rely on
someone doing your work for you.
Parking Eye tends to use DCB Legal for cases is it less sure
about winning, rather than acting drectly, and DCB Legal usually
discontinues defended cases before being required to pay the
court fee. Again, there are many examples of this behaviour
documented on the forum.
You still have ten days until your deadline to file your
defence.

I got this from my last time on here. Is it still ok to use?
1. The Defendant denies the claim in its entirety. The Defendant
asserts that there is no liability to the Claimant and that no
debt is owed. The claim is without merit and does not adequately
disclose any comprehensible cause of action.
2. There is a lack of precise detail in the Particulars of Claim
(PoC) in respect of the factual and legal allegations made
against the Defendant such that the PoC do not comply with CPR
16.4.
3. The Defendant is unable to plead properly to the PoC because:
(a) The contract referred to is not detailed or attached to the
PoC in accordance with CPR PD 16(7.5);
(b) The PoC do not state the exact wording of the clause (or
clauses) of the terms and conditions of the contract (or
contracts) which is/are relied on;
(c) The PoC do not adequately set out the reason (or reasons)
why the claimant asserts the defendant has breached the contract
(or contracts)
(d) The PoC do not state with sufficient particularity
exactly where the breach occurred, the exact time when the
breach occurred and how long it is alleged that the vehicle was
parked before the parking charge was allegedly incurred;
(e) The PoC do not state precisely how the sum claimed is
calculated, including the basis for any statutory interest,
damages, or other charges;
(f) The PoC do not state what proportion of the claim is the
parking charge and what proportion is damages;
(g) The PoC do not provide clarity on whether the Defendant is
sued as the driver or the keeper of the vehicle, as the claimant
cannot plead alternative causes of action without specificity.
4. The Defendant attaches to this defence a copy of a draft
order approved by a district judge at another court. The court
struck out the claim of its own initiative after determining
that the Particulars of Claim failed to comply with CPR 16.4.
The judge noted that the claimant had failed to:
(i) Set out the exact wording of the clause (or clauses) of the
terms and conditions relied upon;
(ii) Adequately explain the reasons why the defendant was
allegedly in breach of contract;
(iii) Provide separate, detailed Particulars of Claim as
permitted under CPR PD 7C.5.2(2).
(iv) The court further observed that, given the modest sum
claimed, requiring further case management steps would be
disproportionate and contrary to the overriding objective.
Accordingly, the judge struck out the claim outright rather than
permitting an amendment.
5. The Defendant submits that the same reasoning applies in this
case and invites the court to adopt a similar approach by
striking out the claim for the Claimant’s failure to comply with
CPR 16.4.
Statement of truth
I believe that the facts stated in this Defence are true. I
understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought
against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false
statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without
an honest belief in its truth.

I know I advised searching the forum, but this
boilerplate/template defence is increasingly being struck out by
the courts.
Other than complaining about the claimant’s Particulars of
Claim, it’s waffle.
In the absence of anything from the SAR, it’s probably better
than nothing, so I’d hold it in reserve, but preferably use the
failings of the original PCN if possible.
