Hi folks,
I forgot to post this response from DCB Legal. They were trying
to negotiate a discount if paid immediately but that window has
passed and it was never an option i was going to consider ::)
Is there anything i should do at this point or wait for them to
follow up?
Thanks.

> Having considered your response, our position in respect of
this matter remains as per our Letter of Claim.
>
> In order to identify the Registered Keeper of the vehicle, our
client submitted a request for details to the DVLA. Your details
were provided and thereafter notices were sent to you by our
client at your serviceable address. Those notices asked you to
either make payment or, if you were not driving, nominate a
driver by providing their name and full address. You did neither
and as such you are now pursued on the basis that you were
driving. On the balance of probabilities, if you were not the
driver, you would have nominated.

> In relation to the parking contravention, when parking on
private land, the contractual terms of the site are set out on
the signs. You are entering a contract and agreeing to the terms
by parking and staying on the site. Parking in breach of the
terms as stipulated on the signage means that you are then
breaking the terms of the contract.
>
> Your vehicle remained on private property in breach of the
displayed Terms and Conditions; accordingly, the parking charge
was issued correctly.
>
> Our client will ensure that there are signs clearly displayed
on the land, outlining the terms of the parking. These will
generally be displayed at the entrance and exit of the land/ car
park, as well as being positioned at various points throughout
the land. Our client does not need to prove that you read and
understood the terms of those signs and will rely on the fact
that the signs were situated on the land and that a reasonable
person would have seen them. You should always be vigilant when
entering any land that you are not familiar with or that you
know is privately owned and there are parking terms in place.
>
> In accordance with the relevant Code of Practice, where the
Parking Charge (PC) becomes overdue and before Court proceedings
have commenced, a reasonable sum may be added for the debt
recovery fees. The correct recovery fees have been added.
>
> As payment was not made, either within 14 or 28 days, the
creditor was entitled to instruct debt recovery agents /
Solicitors to pursue payment and is entitled to recover the
costs of doing so. It would have been made clear in the terms
and conditions set out in the signs that additional enforcement
costs may be incurred in the event of non-payment.
>
> If there are any documents that you have requested, but that
are not attached, it is because we have deemed the request to be
disproportionate and/or not relevant to the substantive issues
in dispute. We respectfully draw your attention to paragraph
2.1(c) of the Protocol and remind you that both parties are
expected to act reasonably and proportionately.
>
> WITHOUT PREJUDICE
>
> Notwithstanding the above, our client would be willing to
accept £100.00 in full and final settlement of this matter.
>
> You now have 30 days from the date of this email to make
payment. Failure to make payment will result in the balance
reverting to £165.00 and a Claim being issued against you
without any further reference.

when making payment. If you do not, we may be unable to
correctly allocate the payment. If further action is taken by us
as a result of an incorrect reference being quoted, you will be

Assuming you still have no intention of settling, I don't think
there is much to gain by responding. I would await a Claim Form.
