DBCL Debt Recovery Permit did not cover stay - Euro Car Parks -
All Saints Colchester
By: gf4444 Date: December 29, 2025, 4:22 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
We received this letter last week which is the first
notification of an issue. We've discovered that the V5C wasn't
updated when we moved house which explains why the original
letters weren't received (it's now been changed), my wife is the
registered keeper.
We don't have the email receipt from the parking but can see on
the credit card statement that parking was paid for on that
date.
The car park is here -

Luckily for you, this is just ECP and I can assure you with
greater that 99.9% certainty that if you follow the advice you
receive here, you will not be paying a penny to ECP.
Whilst you have now updated your V5C, that does not solve the
issue that ECP now hold two possible addresses for you. This
WILL end up being a county court claim and you do not want a
claim going to the wrong address and not being responded to.
The first thing you MUST do immediately, is send the ECP Data
Protection Officer (DPO) a Data Rectification Notice (DRN) which
instructs them to update their records with your (the Keepers)
current address for service and to erase all other addresses
they ay hold. The highlighted words are there for a reason, so
use them.
You can safely ignore any debt recovery letters from DCBL or any
other powerless debt collector. They are not a party to the
contract allegedly breached by the driver. All they can do is
try and intimidate the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree
into paying out of ignorance and fear.
You will eventually receive a Letter of Claim (LoC) from DCB
Legal (not DCBL). When you do, let us know. Eventually, you will
receive an actual N1SDT Claim Form from the CNBC, which you will
show us, only redacting your personal details. Leave the issue
date visible and the Particulars of Claim (PoC). We will give
you the advice on how to defend it with a template defence.
Eventually, the claim will either be struck out or discontinued
just before they have to pay the £27 trial fee.
There are countless ECP PCNs being discussed on the forum and
every one is advised the same. As long as the claim is defended,
they all end up struck out or discontinued. Search the forum for
them to see how they are handled and what happens when.

Thank you, that's incredibly useful. When we email the DPO,
should we reference the PCN # for them to update their records
on and/or the vehicle registration? I just want to make sure
that we're doing the correct action first off rather than them
having any come back.
Thanks.

Yes. You should always reference any PCN and your VRM.

Letter of claim received today along with the 3rd or 4th Final
Reminder which was dated after the LoC.

I guess that it's now just a case of waiting for the N1SDT now?
Thanks.

A new LoC has been received as it turns out that they're
pursuing two claims which explains why it seemed like we were
receiving Final Reminders before a Notice of Debt Recovery. We
didn't notice that the reference numbers on those letters were
different until this LoC was received which bundles the cost and
references together.
