Forgot to validate Gym parking 3 notices from DCBL
DIR By: Dcblsucks

It seems on 3 occasions I have forgot to validate my parking at
the gym. I am entitled to park there and have proof in the app
that I was attending the gym at the times in the letters.
As I have moved out from my mums and haven't got around to
changing my address I missed the original pcns now I have 3
letters from dcbl and they say its too late to appeal.
I tried to reach out to group nexus who sent the original pcn
but they said it was too late even though I showed proof that I
was entitled to park there.
I have one letter with a date of 18th of march with 2 fees
coming to £340 and another dated the 5th of March.
Am I able to fight this, surely they can't make me pay if I pay
for this service.

Your first port of call would be the gym to call the hounds off.
They will almost certainly raise a claim for the monies as
that's how they roll. (Remember it's not the gym suing but a
parking company that only makes money from issuing PCN's)

As above. Your plan A is to get the gym to call of their
contracted dogs. If you're now receiving debt recovery letters,
it is too late to appeal. Your fault for not updating your V5C.
Even if you have since updated your V5C, that makes no
difference. You must send the parking operator DPO a Data
Rectification Notice (DRN) instructing them to update their
records with your current address for service and to erase your
ol address. The highlighted words are there for a reason, so use
them.
Failing to do that is a surefire way to get a CCJ by default.
We are not interested in any debt recovery letters from
powerless and useless debt collectors. Never, ever, communicate
with a debt collector. They are not a party to any contract
allegedly breach by the driver. You can safely ignore them.
Their only job is to try and scare the low-hanging fruit on the
gullible tree into paying out of ignorance and fear. Ignore
them.
Please show us at least one of the Notices to Keeper (NtK) you
received. Do not redact any dates other than times.

Thanks everyone it says on the gym site they do not get involved
and have no say for any parking fines. But I have still emailed
them just in case. Is it worth creating an appeal with POPlA?

You can't appeal to POPLA, too late for that.

It’s unlikely that the gym has absolutely no power to get a
wrongly PCN cancelled. Don’t take no for an answer. Ask them to
justify their support for an unregulated parking company
hounding their paying customer to pay an unreasonable charge.
As an aside, get out of your head that these are ‘fines’. They
are simply speculative invoices from scammers.
Have you sent the DRN as instructed by b789? Can you post the
NtK?

You'd be surprised - I've seen some ridiculous contracts that
businesses have signed up to. That said, this seems to be a
fairly large business who (a) are likely to have someone legally
competent in head office making sure they don't sign any crap
contracts and (b) have more negotiating power than a small firm.
Being persistent with the gym is definitely a good idea.

That’s not the original. That is the reminder. If you are going
to show the NtK, leave ALL dates and times un-redacted!

I can't find the original, and the gym haven't replied to my
email for help on this.
Do I need to contact the dcbl to put this on hold?
