CP Plus Ltd - 2ND LETTER NOW IN RED!

Hi Drive4it

Would you be willing to scan the letters in (removing all personal details of course) so that people receiving similar correspondence from CP Plus Ltd in the future will know what to expect from the scam? It is obvious from your first post that you were worried and we would like to help people in your situation realise it's just a scam.

If so, please post the image links in the below thread and update the post whenever you receive a further letter. PM me if you have any questions or need help uploading:

Hi
Interesting reading as I have had a similar experience with the same company.

1st letter explaining the offence and the £80 fine reduced to £50 if I paid within a set time.
2nd Red letter full of threats.
I've just received my 3rd letter headed LEGAL ACTION PENDING. £80 now increased to £120 (£40 collection and admin fee).
Legal and court costs, Solicitors, Bailiffs, County Court, Ability to obtain credit in the future. All these were mentioned in the letter.

My reaction is no action appart from filing letter 3 with the other 2.

Drive4it - please let us know when you get your 3rd and I will keep you informed of any further letters.

Cheers

Had the 3rd letter now from TPS....LEGAL ACTION PENDING.

"Parking Charge Notice was issued on...To date no payment has been received...£40 Collection and Administration fee added...To avoid this being passed to our Legal department please pay £110 within 7 days...further legal and court costs may be added together with interest...should this matter be referred to our Solicitors they reserve the right to take legal action to enforce this contract...they will then seek to have a warrant issued for Bailiffs to recover the debt...ability to obtain credit may be affected...please pay by cheque, postal order or via automated payment line"...that's the basics of it!

I'm loving the BOLD SCARY WORDS....!!!

Can't read the signature. No name, just a scribble above the word TPS Parking Solutions Ltd.

Am a little surprised that the 2nd letter had loads of RED all over it, but this one is just black and white? Are they trying to save money by not using red ink anymore?

Also, non of the letters have been recorded delivery.

JOG ON TPS!!!!

It's the same with the TV lisencing people, use words to scare you but when it comes down to it they have no teeth.

TV Licence people have no teeth but can prosecute if you admit all to them. Keep quiet and they have no evidence.

Parking companies can take civil action but the difference is that the charge is not enforceable.

Got the 5th letter now. Building up quite a collecting now.

The letter is now from those lovely people at Debt Recovery Plus.

This is similar to the the first one from Debt Recovery Plus. Very similar to Letter 3 from Parkforce (CLICK HERE FOR THREAD) but now has an extra paragraph starting..."As a member of the British Parking Association (BPA) and its Approved Operators Scheme (AOS) we adhere to its code of practice...", then they go on 'invite me' to declare who was driving, or to 'disclose the identity' of who was, so they can 'avoid pursuing the wrong person'...and so on and so forth.

Then they add the usual..."You can view a selection of CCJ's we have successfully obtained against people who have ignored our correspondence on our website www.drpl.co.uk".

JOG...ON...

I see on their website that DRPL have a new member of staff:-

Gemma is the latest new signing at DRPL. Gemma has a wealth of experience and has a joined DRPL's expanding team to assist with administration duties. We wish her a long and happy career with DRPL.

It doesn't say what that "experience" is. Answers on a post-card please!
