DCBL Devious
How can 10 minutes car park stay cost £170? Because (DCBL) Dangerous, Cunning, Bully. Legals( DCBL). This is who they are. No camera evidence. Tickets from clients are not even sent first it's just straight to these rebels. When are the regulators going to clamp down on these rogues.(DCBL) and chase these crazy bald heads out of our towns.😊

Shocking
I received a letter on 5th February 2026 from this company saying it is my final chance to pay a £140 fine for staying in a Sainsburys car park for too long in 2023. I had categorically never received any communication from any party regarding this matter until the 5th. I called their office and was told all letters prior to this one had been sent to my old address, which I moved from 3 years ago and updated my logbook as soon as I moved to my new address. They had been sending the letters to my old address and now I am being penalised for their incompetence? If the letters had been sent to my correct address, I would have paid this straight away. I was told I am no longer able to dispute this, but I was never given the opportunity to begin with! I was met with no understanding, the operative was cold and dismissive. Absolutely ridiculous.

Parking Fine
Got a 14 days notice for a parking fine at a hotel through Parkmaven. i picked up my disabled father who was a guest at the hotel. Demanding payment or threats of county court. After on.hold for 45 minutes to these criminals telling them the hotel has contacted Parkmaven parking fine company to cancel the fine, they basically said we will take you to court for sure. So even if your in the right, they still threaten you! Absolutel scammers!

Cowboys who should be investigated
Force you into a payment plan with false legal advice. Ignore a disabled persons right of advocacy. Payment plan under wrong date and say they've fixed it and haven't. Hang up when you try to explain they've done something wrong. Don't answer emails and say they don't keep notes on their system on the phone. Say they don't have to look at their emails. They are shady cowboys and should be investigated. Chase you for arrears when you're up to date. Don't give you your information to make online payments

This company is pure scum both DCBL and…
This company is pure scum both DCBL and who they represented. parkmaven wrongfully issue a parking fine, sent said fine to the wrong address, ignored my appeal when I finally got the parking fine letters, ignored every attempt to reach out. As a result of them ignoring me they escalated to DCBL, a company comprised of scum who are not interested if parkmaven have effectively lied and wrongfully issued a parking fine, and just try and bully and intimate tou until you pay.
You are all thieves and will do what ever you can to steal money from people, I hope you rot.

Awful customer service
Awful customer service, zero empathy or care in their approach with a flagrant disregard to FCA regulated rules in their approach. This is either through established practice or really poor staff training, possibly both.

Paid hundreds of pounds for a poor service
Paid hundreds of pounds for a poor service. I had to chase them for updates, even with a court writ they did not recover our money. The person fobbed them off easily. This was in August and I did not get another report after chasing until November which was 2 months between visits and the person had moved and they wanted more money to trace her.

Absolutely terrible service
Absolutely terrible service. They advertise “no win, no fee,” yet still demanded payment even though nothing useful was done. The only action taken was turning up, saying the door was closed and there was nothing they could do, and then sending an invoice. Completely unacceptable and a total waste of time and money. Very disappointed with this experience. Useless scammers

Dcbl are a terrible company and really…
Dcbl are a terrible company and really a law to them selfs. They claim to have sent SEO but never. I asked for a complete full SAR and recieved in parts and had to keep telling them it’s incomplete, I still held personal info handed to meet but not in SAR. Mixed dates no signed good agreement or anything listed, no writ seen only after I requested missing in SAR. I then took them to court went from small to high, months wasted they didn’t show and not in jurisdiction lol (funny that 🙄) I didn’t refuse to pay and sorted on the day they added 1292 anyway for one little visit no
Obstruction at all. I understand bailiffs are needed, but go to those company’s who do it right, not the ones who can’t get it right like dcbl and then gets away with it. Fairness is important and I wasn’t evading anyone and didn’t know they was coming at all no pre warning. Always ask for a full SAR request within 30 days and if not full contact the ICO and make a full complaint with all screenshots is my advice, if it’s right and you owe and fail then so be it your at fault, but I had no clue and the added 1292 for nothing is insane. Unfair system for those who actually do the right thing. Oh and how this all come about is I trained someone for 7 months in a program to be a tattooist then she took me to court for money back and judge ruled her favour due to a contract consigned that didn’t count. So again not even my fault. System and worlds unreal and unfair. Also they took all payments via bank but didn’t take the last then sent a warning so be very careful with them and what they do.

What a bunch of crooks these guys are
What a bunch of crooks these guys are. I urge anyone looking to collect a debt not to use DCBL. They do the hard sell, blast you with calls until you sign up, then don’t stick to what they say. Don’t use them please. I asked for them to send me emails and call recordings which they should do under data protection and they said they did not have them. I will be reporting them to the ICO also.

Demand for payment of £170 without a full explanation
Demand for payment of £170 with just over a week left to pay before they would take the matter to court. They gave no right of appeal stating that they had tried to contact me previously at some address unknown to me. I requested specific information from them and have not received any response to my request.

Hired to claim a personal debt
Hired to claim a personal debt, and they didnt keep me updated, after a few weeks i got a letter saying they've been unsuccessful.
They were quick to take my money, i've asked about 4 x for a list of the actions that were carried out, each time i get contact "X" so i do and nothing.
At the end of it they were like if you send us "X" we will instruct someone else to do it, yeah right !
i was reluctant to do it anyway as i knew the person in question is a bit tight. so now i'm down even more.
Happy to take the money, get the instruction and you barely hear from them despite chasing.
