Notice of Intended Legal Action - Parking Eye - DCBL
DIR By: S.M
Date: November 19, 2025, 7:17 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi Folks,
The driver parked at the London Aquatics Centre - the driver
would display their blue badge and enter the registration of the
vehicle on a website.
This is what it states on a notice in front of the disabled bays
- The caveat here is that there`s 1 parking notice with 2
different ways of registering your vehicle,
1 states that the driver must bring their blue badge to
reception and enter their vehicle details.
2 - states driver displays blue badge and enter registration on
the website.
It seems that the system at the time wasn`t working ( With the
regular car it has never been an issue )
The hirer did contact the centre at the time - June 2025 - to
point the discrepancy and ask the manager to contact Parking eye
to cancel the ticket but the manager was uncooperative.
The hirer forgot about this and has since been receiving letters
for 2 separate offences - 1 is Final notice of debt recovery and
2nd is Notice of intended Legal Action
The car was a replacement car from the dealership (hence the
term hirer) and on both notices the hirers first name is not
written correctly (maybe the dealership didn`t provide the
correct name or the parking company didn`t register the correct
name on their system)
Let`s use Jonathan as an example - below is the discrepancy
Letter 1 - Jonthan
Letter 2 - Jonathn
How concerned should the hirer be? should the hirer just wait
for court paper? what about the incorrect first name?

The usual: what other documents came with the Notice to Hirer?
None, I’m sure, so Parking Eye has not complied with PoFA 2012
to be able to hold you, the hirer, liable in place of the
unknown driver. So if the identity of the driver has not been
revealed, they can’t come after you instead.
It sounds like no formal appeal to Parking Eye was made.
Who is the notice of intended legal action from? If it’s just a
debt collector, ignore and wait for a Letter of Claim.
The incorrect name is irrelevant. You can correct it when you
reply to the Letter of Claim in due course.

You are right - none of these were provided. No formal appeal to
Parking eye were made.
Can`t i contact DCBL to ask them to send the letter of claim? I
think they are sending a letter every 2 weeks and i`d rather get
this done with.

You could, but they won't. Any letter of claim will be issued by
the associated but different DCB Legal, or if they're feeling
lucky, ParkingEye themselves.

Ignore DCBL, use their letters for hamster bedding or something
useful, do not contact them in any way because this will only
encourage them. They are powerless and irrelevant. If DCB Legal
write to you, come back here for advice.

As long as the driver has not been identified, they cannot hold
the Hirer liable. They have no idea who the driver is unless the
Hirer blabs it to them, inadvertently or otherwise.
Did you appeal? If you did, did you identify the driver by
saying things like "I did this or that" instead of "the driver
did this or that"?
Besides the fact they the Notice to Hirer (NtH) is not PoFA
compliant with paras 13/14, the location is not relevant land as
it is covered buy statutory byelaws. As long as the driver has
not been identified, this will go nowhere.
As already mentioned above, because ParkingEye are using DSCB
Legal, they know they don't have a chance if this ever went in
front of a judge. If DCB Legal do issue the claim, you will
defend using the template defence we provide and I can guarantee
that it will eventually be discontinued. They only go this far
because they hope you are low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree
and can be intimidated into paying out of ignorance and fear.

Having been on this website and on pepipoo before, I know that i
should never identify the driver for a private parking ticket :)
I`ll just wait for their letter then. Thanks

Reply along the lines of denying any responsibility for the
alleged debt, thanks to the incompetence of Parking Eye in not
following the requirements of PoFA 2012, and you will defend any
court claim on that basis, if not on others.
Expect to receive a court claim, to which you will need to
respond and provide a defence. And attend a “mediation” session
at which you will offer £0 to settle.
DCB Legal will almost certainly discontinue the case before
having to pay the court fee.
Search the forum for many, many similar cases.
