DCBL - G24 Ltd - 2019! homebase carpark BN3 7EX
DIR By: Paulfamhughes

---------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
We have received a letter from DCBL on some rather old PCNs the
RK doesn't recall recieving anything in relation to exceeding
the time of the car park, we know the car park and the signs
used to state different things, I have been past in the last
couple of days and taken up to date photos to help. Not sure
what else to mention as this is the first we have heard of these
PCNs and e to the timeframe. Just wondering on what actions to
take if any? Any help on this would be very much appreciated.
Feel free to ask questions to help and I will try my best.

Before we get onto the case - because you cannot remember
receiving any prior correspondence, if you still have the
vehicle in question, you should dig out the V5C document and
check it contains your correct home address.
DCBL are debt collectors and can be ignored - however, if you
receive a Letter of Claim from their sister company, DCB Legal,
or a claim form from the county court, come back here for
advice.

Afraid we no longer have the vehicle not sure if there is
another way to check the address that was on the V5C.

The address that was on it isn't particularly relevant now. The
reason I was mentioning it is that if it was wrong and you still
had the vehicle, that you should update it asap to prevent
future notices going astray.

Ah ok, I sold it to someone in my family, I think it might show
on the V5C the previous RK and address if I am correct.
But for now just ignore DCBL for now.

Yes - it's a Letter of Claim you're looking out for, or a claim
form.

> Under the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims, I require
specific answers to the following questions:

> [indent]1. Does the additional £60 per PCN represent what you
describe as a “Debt Recovery” fee? If so, is this figure net of
or inclusive of VAT? If inclusive, I trust you will explain why
I, as the alleged debtor, am being asked to cover your client’s
VAT liability.

> 2. Regarding the principal sum of the alleged Parking Charge
Notice (PCN): Is this being claimed as damages for breach of
contract, or will it be pleaded as consideration for a purported
parking contract?[/indent]
>
> I would caution you against simply dismissing these questions
with vague or boilerplate responses, as I am fully aware of the
implications. By claiming that PCNs are exempt from VAT while
simultaneously inflating the debt recovery element, your client
– with your assistance – appears to be evading VAT obligations
due to HMRC. Such mendacious conduct raises serious questions
about the legality and ethics of your practices.

> I strongly advise your client to cease and desist. Should this
matter proceed to court, you can be assured that these issues
will be brought to the court’s attention, alongside a robust
defence and potentially a counterclaim for unreasonable conduct.
