DCBL (HIGHVIEW PARKING LTD)- VEHICLE REMAINED ON PRIVATE
PROPERTY
DIR By: antman40
Date: March 18, 2025, 7:29 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Good Afternoon.
DCBL are at it again.
A recovery notice has been received for payment for a PCN back
in 2022 at shopping mall car park. The driver was simply making
a delivery to a store inside the shopping mall and was no longer
than 20 minutes but somehow their timings are available o view
but no ANPR images provided on their website that shows the
vehicle had been parked for over an hour.
With no loading bays located anywhere at this site upon entry,
the only option was to park where there were available spaces in
the car park. The store would not have opened their back doors
as they would not be expecting a random courier attempting
delivery apart from their scheduled stock delivered by a HGV or
building/maintenance contractors. The driver could only make
delivery via the front of the store.
Any advice/assistance with this? TIA x

You can ignore the sabre rattling letters from DCBL. However,
it says they wrote to you at a previous address - have you moved
/ was your V5C out of date at the time of the incident? You
should send a data rectification notice to DCBL and Highview
Parking to make sure they have the correct current address for
you. Them having an out of date address is a good way of this
ending up with a default judgement and CCJ. Quote from b789
with the required wording (you need to add DCBL and substitute
Highview of course):

they hold for you. The highlighted words are there for a reason
and you should use them.

The V5C would have been in date at that time and the address had
not been changed when the initial PCN was received, so no
changes there.
Why would they say that they had wrote to a previous address
when it has not been changed on the V5C?
Does a need DRN still need to be sent if address was not
changed? What happens after they receive the DRN?
Do you have any templates if a DRN still needs to be sent?

But is that your current address? They only get one shot to ask
DVLA and it will have been the one on record at the time of the
incident - if this is not your current address then you need to
get it updated with the parking co and DCBL.

Yes. The address is current and is on the V5C and at the time
and date of when the PCN had been issued. There has not been any
changes with the address.

Assume you got the original PCN then? Seems like a template
letter from DCBL dragging up old cases. You can ignore - if
they send a letter of claim post back - this will have 30 days
to pay.

I don't have the original PCN but I have had a rummage through
some stored paperwork and I have found 2 previous letters from
DCBL dated 04/05/2023 (Notice of Debt Recovery) & 31/10/2023
(Notice of Intended Legal Action).
These were posted to different address where the vehicle's V5C
is not registered to, like they said in their most recent letter
"We therefore utilised a tracing service which indicated your
current address."
I do now remember calling the shopping mall management to ask if
they can cancel the 2 PCNs but I was informed that Highview
Parking no longer monitor the car park since 07/10/2023.
What's the best course of action now? RTS their Letter of Claim
letter?

Do not bother communicating with the useless and powerless DCBL.
You can safely ignore anything from them. However, do not
confuse or ignore comms from their sister company, DCB Legal.
As long as Highview and, if necessary, DCB Legal have your
current and correct address for service, then you don’t need to
send a DRN. If your address has changed since the original PCN
was issued, then you absolutely must send a DRN.
You are now waiting for a Letter of Claim (LoC), which will
probably be issued by DCB Legal. When that arrives, come back
for further advice.

Hello.
So just updating this and I have received 2 'final reminder'
letters for 2 separate PCNs from DCBL (Highview Parking). I
guess they will be sending a 'letter of claim' then?
