Britannia Parking, DCBL & DCB Legal — a predatory conveyor belt
All it takes is a quick stop, confusing terms or a disputed notice and you’re in the system. Britannia fires off the “charge”, then you’re passed to DCBL (yes, the Can’t Pay? We’ll Take It Away! TV outfit) and on to DCB Legal—same machine, different letterheads—engineered (in my view) to confuse, intimidate and grind people down. My credit score fell 176 points the day a CCJ landed. Channel 5 has even been found by the courts to have breached privacy over the show—turning hardship into entertainment speaks volumes.
Practical tip: use TrustOnline to see the CCJ date/court/case no. If you discover a CCJ, pay in full within one calendar month and submit Form N443 with proof to the issuing court (often the Civil National Business Centre) to have it removed; pay later and you can mark it Satisfied.
