DCB Legal - Parking Charge - Claim Form
DIR By: Gardener
Date: August 10, 2025, 3:57 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Firstly, many thanks to the forum operators, what an amazing
resource.
I received 2 letters from DCBL dated 16/05/25 and 06/06/25
regarding parking charges.
I then received a Letter of Claim from DCB Legal dated 03/07/25.
I have now received a Claim Form dated 06/08/25.
The Particulars of Claim alleges Parking Charges in June and
July of 2021.
I'm presuming the best way to deal with this is in line with
HTML https://www.ftla.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=26[member=26]b789[/member]'s<br
/>comprehensive suggestions in the following post:

Smart frequently fails to comply with PoFA 2012 in its notices,
can you post the original PCN?
Some background description of events is usually helpful also,

If you just use what was a response to Parking Eye you may be
missing a trick.

Do we presume that you have ignored all correspondence so far
and not replied to any.
If so, unfortunately this is a example of not to ignore and
gives more work to do.
However, help will be here.

I haven't replied to any of the correspondence - a lesson now
learnt.

My understanding is the driver entered the following road
(Westward Parade) which leads to Pepper Street and Oakland Quay
- to carry out work for a resident of Arena Tower:

As understood now these roads/streets are private property.
However at the time of the PCNs it wasn't clear that this was
private property or the terms of parking requirements.

The first PCN from Smart fails to comply with the PoFA 2012
requirements claimed.
30/6 “contravention”
12/7 PCN date
15/7 presumed delivery date >14 days after the original event

The second PCN 2/7 - 13/7 is in time. Again presumed delivered
15/7.
However they have conflated the claims into one, and therefore
can’t use “In the alternative the Defendant is pursued as the
keeper pusuant to POFA 2012, Schedule 4” as they claim.

Note that Smart often responds with complete rubbish along the
lines of issuing the PCN within 14 days of receiving details
from the DVLA, this is complete rubbish if they do. The 14 day
period starts from the date of the claimed contravention.
