Hi all,
Just looking for some reassurance! Think I'm OK but just want to make sure!
Back in August my car was parked in local retail car park and got a ticket slapped on it by UKPC Ltd for the contravention of "Owner left the site"
I had a notice through the post a few days later and then a final reminder a week or so ago. Today I have received a letter from Debt Recovery Plus Ltd. They state that their letter is a notice of Intended Litigation, and unless the charge is paid within 10 days their solicitors may take legal action which could lead to a CCJ. They state their enforcement options include:
As far as I am aware, bailiffs cannot enter my premises unless under a court appointed warrant, correct?
Oh, and the charge has gone up from £90 to £141.75 - Are they seriously saying that it has cost them £51.75 to just send me a letter?
Any reassurance?

These people should be hung by their doings for intimidation like this.
Its people who are not in the know and dont actually see the words
'may and could' and take it all literally.
They shoulddnt be allowed to mention bailiffs, taking goods, its misleading but they get away with it because of the words may and could.
There should be more legislation against these cowboys.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
If it makes you feel any better, I've had exactly the same letter from them last week.
Does anyone know from experience what the pattern is with UKPC? I've had two from them and 1 from Debt Recovery Plus so far!0 -

Who has to pay exactly? The RK? Post a link to the law that states the RK is responsible?0 -

If the sign says "You are not allowed to leave the site" then you mustn't leave the site.
Some people's logic seems a little warped.
But, because he had the temerity to leave the site, they want to charge him an extra £80 or whatever for the privilege of spending his money with those retailers.
I'm surprised the parking companies don't put up signs saying "only people wearing beige cardigans allowed to park here, £80 penalty applies", those "rules" would be equally ridiculous and the tickets equally unenforceable.
I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.0
