       Received LETTER OF CLAIM. Please advise!!!

       Driver has received a LETTER OF CLAIM and unsure where to go
       from here. Two unpaid tickets at the travel lodge carpark in
       October 2020, which on both occasions the parking portal unit
       was not working. The travel lodge during covid was not staffed
       very well but they reassured driver there wouldn't be any issues
       as their parking portal was not working on both occasions.
       Driver has since received a DCB LEGAL LETTER OF CLAIM yesterday
       via post but the letter is dated on 16th July. PLEASE CAN ANYONE
       ADVISE ASAP?! Thanks.

       Welcome to FTLA.
       To help us provide the best advice, please read the following
       thread carefully and provide as much of the information it asks
       for as you are able to: READ THIS FIRST - Private Parking
       Charges Forum guide
  HTML https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/read-this-first-private-parking-charges-forum-guide/<br
       />
       It would be useful to know if any correspondence has been
       entered into with either the parking company or DCB Legal.

       Driver received letter of claim. Please see attachments and
       advise. Portal was not functioning on both occasions to input
       car registration however travel lodge did not sort it out for
       the driver despite being reassured that it will be ok.
       What is the next step please?!

       Driver hasn't corresponded with either company. Not sure what to
       say to them.

       I tried to attach the paperwork. first time but then realised
       some sensitive information had gone through so had to send a
       message to the moderator asking it to be deleted. Since then I
       have tried to attach the paperwork 3 times but the website
       constantly crashed and I am now losing the will to live.

       I am new to this site and trying to figure out how to reply,
       post or add attachments hence incomplete information. Really
       struggling to get this sorted and I am getting very stressed
       over this. I'm not even sure if this is the right place to post
       any extra info.

       Driver received the letter of claim, from dcbl on behalf of
       Smart Parking Limited regarding two parking fines in October
       2020.
       Driver was staying at Travel lodge using their car park (smart
       parking ltd) and on both occasions the portal where visitors
       register their car, was not working.
       Staff explained that portal does play up due to various reasons
       however the error will be rectified (obviously they didn't
       rectify it with Smart Parking Limited).
       Driver has made no correspondence with either dcbl or Smart
       Parking Limited, as was advised to wait for Letter of Claim.
       Please advise where to go from here.
       Sorry for so many posts and thank you for your patience!
