dcbl letter

[L33 L00]

I have just recieved a letter from Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd.

This is regarding a parking fine from early 2019, at a hospital from parkingeye.

I have no idea what the charge was for, who was driving the vehicle etc, just that I owed £140 (wtf)

I particularly like the bottom of the letter, which states 'As exclusively featured on the popular TV show Can't pay? we'll take it away' It also states 'This case is not subject to high court or bailiff action'

So my question is, how do I go about investigating / appealing this, and what does the final statement 'This case is not subject to high court or bailiff action' mean?

Thanks

They are acting as mere debt collectors and can do nothing, it hasn't been in the legal process.

If you have no documents then a SAR to the parking company to get them just in case. PE sending to a debt collector usually means that they are not taking it further but there is always a first time.

Make sure you get Proof of Postage.

Thanks a lot for these responses.

So dcbl are toothless in this encounter? If they have no option legally why are they even bothering sending me a letter?

Would a SAR just have PE provide me with all details of the initial fine?

Thanks

They send the letter hoping to frighten people into paying and they take their cut

Yes the SAR would find the reason for the charge. IF it goes further then you will need them.

It's not a fine, it's an alleged breach of contract
