Also well known for mistakenly sending out letters acting as bailiffs when they are debt collecting, also over stating their powers! Of which they have none!!0

Are you referring to your case pertaining to this thread??? That was 2010!!! How can they still have been pushing until five minutes ago!
To my knowledge, this kind of alleged "debt" has a six-month shelf life according to the courts. If the matter remains unresolved six months after the alleged contravention, they have lost their claim and it goes in the skip along with the sour milk. It would be nicer still if the PPC staff jumped into the compactor with their rubbish!0 -
This is a purported civil debt that may be pursued in the county court and has a "shelf life" of considerably in excess of 6 months. I think you may be confusing the "shelf life" with the statute of limitations in respect of summary matters before a magistrates court which is indeed, effectively 6 months.Are you referring to your case pertaining to this thread???

For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com0 -

I agree, and believe that the 'normal' time limit for pursuing an alleged civil debt is six years, provided that the supposed debt is not admitted.0 -
