Parking ticket from 2 years ago.

Just ignore them like what you've been doing already, if they had case this would have done court already, they are just trying to intimidate you into paying. It's not likely to go court as there was no keeper liability 2 years ago, unless it was after October 2012.

This UKPC generally they do not do court, so unless you get a court claim just ignore the scam and file all letters and the envelopes they came in if they are dated or franked.

Hi,
2 years ago I parked in my mums parking space at her flats. Shed only moved there recently. I didnt know I had to put a parking permit in my car. When I returned to my car I had a ticket from UKPC for 'parking without a valid permit'.
Over the last 2 years Ive had letters from several different companies trying to make me pay which Ive ignored and binned. Today Ive received another 1 from Small Calims Solicitors or Debt Recovery Plus. Ive looked at the threads of what to do but find them quite confusing. It seems I need to go to POPLA but am I too late?
What should I do to stop this?
Thanks for any help.

Why would you think you need to 'stop' the letter chain (or that you can)? It's just junk mail. Most PPCs never do court and that includes UKPC except on vey RARE occasions. I know of one UKPC case where the person got a SCS letter and then did get a Northampton Claim - theirs was different as it was multiple tickets totalling a four figure sum, and no doubt UKPC were deluded by the smell of possible money and are trying their luck (that poster has found the help they need, I understand!).

But mostly this is just another debt collector letter so you can ignore it. A debt collector cannot litigate so if UKPC select your little tiny single PCN for a small claim they'd have to pay LPC Law to deal with it, at a cost. Highly unlikely and very defendable!

Keep all letters just in case. UKPC court claims really are as rare as hen's teeth and the one I mentioned was different due to the amount. And it's the only case I can think of from UKPC as well. I would say that UKPC have paid SCS a couple of quid per case for a job lot of letters to be sent out to victims to see how many idiots pay.

Was your PCN date before or after 1st October 2012 when keeper liability started (not that it means you are liable!!)?

No just before POFA 2012 - the law which they might have relied upon if they were trying to pin this on you, as registered keeper. POPLA (the appeals service) is irrelevant. Whatever you do, don't ignore real court papers if they arrive (highly unlikely, and defendable, but NOT to be ignored!).
