Hi everyone. Dcb Leagal ltd made claim against me for parking charge. I sold my car 2 days before parking charge was issued. I write in defense that. I send to claimant confirmation letter from DVLA that i was not owner anymore.And still received email from Dcb Leagal Ltd. Smart Parking ltd intends to proceed with the claim. Any advice?

Advise would be appreciated on how to handle this one 🙂 We have not even sure what is this about

Has anyone managed to stop the DVLA for selling their personal data to private parking parasites or local councils for PCN's ? Any thoughts on how this could be tackled to stop them selling or suing them for selling the data or is there a way to stop them from selling you data?

Anyone noticing how many 'laws' now affect drivers? It's getting ridiculous, parking parasites, ulez etc, speeding, number plate infractions, talk about a way to get at those not caught in the debt trap! And push more and more out of being able to afford to drive. My partner drives all over country for his work and it's getting crazy how much sh1t I'm receiving for him. Then I've got to try and learn how to defend it. Infuriating, costly and stressful. Just want to park up on our land and forget the world 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi guys, Just a quick one — I had a bit of a scuffle with the infamous Horizon Parking Ltd. You know, the usual: they tried it on, I pushed back, and this time… I won. I’ll post the correspondence soon (with the sensitive bits redacted, of course), but I wanted to echo something Peter said ages ago — not sure which video, but it stuck with me. It was along the lines of: "We should take the info and attack these bandits from different angles. They’re always trying to plug loopholes in their dodgy practices, so we should be testing new stuff to see what works — build up plenty of attack vectors." So I gave it a go. Armed with intel from the Parking Pirates course and one of the videos about how you literally can't read the signs safely while driving, I skipped the GDPR route and went straight through their official appeals process. My message was basically: "Oi, I can’t read your signs and drive safely — drop the fee." They came back with some waffle about the signs meeting visibility standards. Which is nonsense, because unless you’ve got binoculars and a spare 10 minutes mid-drive, you’re not reading that small print. Then they gave me 14 days to respond — starting from the date the letter was printed, not received. The letter arrived with less than 5 days left on the clock. So I hit back with: "Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, this may constitute an unfair term. You only gave me 5 days to respond, and your countdown started from the moment the letter was printed." Their reply? "Thank you for your recent correspondence regarding the above Parking Charge, which we have reviewed. I can confirm the Parking Charge has now been cancelled and no further action will be taken in this matter." Boom. Two emails. Job done. Big thanks to @Peter Wilson , @Dave DimeBar and others for pointing out the simple stuff that gets results. If they hadn’t backed off, I was ready to go full GDPR, but I wanted to test a quicker route — something that might help others who don’t want to go full legal ninja.
