Hi Guys I've been following the excellent advice on here regarding UKCPS since I received my first letter about a year ago.

Confused about who to appeal/write too.
Admittedly I missed the original appeal window. I have dodged every way they have tried to communicate with me up to now, over a year anyway. It is in Scotland, a car park at a retail park with several retailers. It came originally from the car park operator, then moved to another mob and now a debt collector linked to the…

ECP via DCB Legal, issue date 10th April 2025
So POPLA rejected my fine appeal. Sadly i admitted driving my car. They had photos of me anyway. So this is perhaps a newish scam where you pay for your ticket but the payment to their payment site does not go to them.
