I do actually have a screen recording of the app failing to
allow the driver to extend the parking session. The time of the
recording is 16:22, but it had previously failed multiple times
before the driver had thought of screen recording the failure
for evidence.
Evidence of RingGo app failing to let the driver extend the
parking session
HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1krdei884a4UQ4LxUjbbarStpfTAh_MOZ/view?usp=sharing
It should be noted... the driver was pregnant (around 4-5 month)
but was already struggling with pains and starting to waddle
around due to her size. This was documented in the original
appeal but completely dismissed by EuroCarParks. So the time
taken for the driver to get from her place of work back to the
car, whilst being pregnant, to move it because the RingGo app
failed took her a little while.
She has evidence to show that she has used this car park almost
daily before and after this incident and has never had an issues
with paying for parking or extending the session whenever the
parking is about to run over etc... this was a one off that,
completely out of her control due to an app failure

This is only at the LoC stage so I would not worry about
anything more at the time being.
Other evidence can be introduced if and when they issue a claim.
I'll eat my hat if they ever take this to a hearing.

Hey Guys,
So I've had a reply from DCB Legal to the LOC appeal I submitted
following Intercity125's template... it's completely incorrect
though?
The reply is as follows:
--- Code ---
Dear <REDACATED>,
We write in response to your correspondence received in our
office dated 23 March 2026
We now respond to the same as follows.
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.
While we acknowledge that you are disputing the amount owed,
the parking charge was issued because insufficient payment was
made for the duration of your stay. Our records show that the
vehicle remained on site for 6 hours and 16 minutes, for which
the required payment was £3.20. However, the screenshot you have
provided indicates that you selected a stay of only 2 hours on
the payment system, which does not correspond with the actual
duration parked. You subsequently appealed this charge with our
client, and the appeal was rejected on the grounds that the
terms and conditions of parking were breached.
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 car park,
as well as being positioned at various points throughout the
land.
We confirm that despite your latest correspondence, our
position remains as previously advised. As such, should our
client instruct us to proceed with further legal action, we
reserve the right to do so without any further reference to you.
If you are at all unsure of your legal position, we recommend
that you seek your own independent legal advice.
You now have 30 days from the date of this email to make
payment of £170.00. Failure to make payment may result in a
Claim being issued against you without any further reference.
Payment can be made via bank transfer to our designated client
account: -
• Account Name: DCB Legal Ltd Client Account
• Sort Code: 20-24-09
• Account Number: 60964441
You must quote the correct case reference (<REDACATED>) 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
liable for any further fees or costs incurred.
We would ask that you kindly furnish us with your most up to
date telephone number and email address, this can be emailed to
us atinfo@dcblegal.co.uk.
Alternatively, you can contact DCB Legal Ltd on 0203 838 7038
to make payment over the telephone or online at
HTML https://dcblegal.co.uk/response/pay-online/.
Kind Regards,
Ayanda Dube

This doesn't make any sense. In their message they state

> the screenshot you have provided indicates that you selected a
stay of only 2 hours on the payment system
--- End Quote ---
... I never uploaded any evidence to DCB legal, however what
they are referring to is, in the original PCN appeal to
EuroCarParks, I attached this video showing the app failed and
would not allow me to extend my session
HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1krdei884a4UQ4LxUjbbarStpfTAh_MOZ/view,<br
/>in the video you can see I try to extend the session by 2
hours.
When EuroCarParks rejected my original appeal they did so with
this reply
HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hsnYkBJcmdwwe0QuProizfHaBeY0zDnv/view,<br
/>it clearly states I was parked there for 6 hours 16 minutes
and
I also have this receipt from the app
HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/15uxJyIsw9sqjlNzdajLDTBMT8xo8OKAJ/view<br
/>as evidence... they have blatantly just ignored everything in
the appeal I send them and have failed to review any of the
documents in this case properly.
What should I reply with?

Nothing to worry about.
You've replied to the LoC and clearly presented your legal
position.
It is NOT your job to get the claimant's evidence in order.
In fact, don't write anything in reply - let them issue Court
proceedings and then totally demonstrate their incompetence in
this matter.
Let's hope that Ayanda Dube continues their involvement in this
case since they are clearly inept.

Hey all, I've had a letter from HM tribunals for this issue,
looks like I now need to prepare a full defence for this.
I haven’t had chance to read it properly but I think I need to
have this sorted by 22nd May.
Any advice would be helpful

I will file the AOS to help buy some time, hopefully it will
give enough time around work and family life to get this sorted
once and for all
