Claim Form From DCP Legal Ltd on PCN issued in 2024 by Smart
Parking
DIR By: ocsan

---------------------------------------------------------
Good day all,
At 00:36 on 6-10-2024, I dropped a friend at the Wyken,
Coventry, spent about 16 minutes and left. I later received a
PCN (attached below) from Smart Parking on 05-11-2026. I later
called to explain that I only stayed for about 15 minutes and
should not be penalised, but they wouldn't listen. They later
passed it to Debt Recovery Plus, who chased for a while and I
called to let them know that I was only in the premise for about
16 minutes.

Recently, I got some letter from DCB legal, which I ignored,
only for me to receive a claim form issued on 15-06-2026 (as
attached) for £272.48. with DCB legal as the claimant. I have
got a limited time to reply. Kindly help out in addressing this.
Please treat as urgent so that I do not receive automatic
judgement for failure to respond.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.
Kind regards,

So you've told them who the driver was?

I just told them that as indicated on the PCN that the Car was
there for about 16 minutes. I never mention who was the driver
to them.

You have to respond by 3 February with a defence, or
Acknowledgment of Service, in the latter case this will give you
until 17 February to file a defence.
Under your “treat as urgent” I would suggest the latter which
removes your self-imposed urgency.

Hello all,
Please help me. I have submitted AOS and I have to file my
defence. I am not sure how many days I have left to file my
defence and I don't know what I need to include in my defence.
Please help me.
Thanks
