Yep, it is a template letter and the monkey they employ to push the buttons accidentally left your one saying 'Vinci' instead of changing the name to suit.

Tell Mum that NCP only issue fake PCNs. They are well known for passing off their station car park 'bogus PCNs' to look official but they are not. And if you were unsure about our advice, you have definite proof because it's gone to a debt collector which a real one from a Train Company under bylaws, would not.

Show Mum the Watchdog video, please. It's on 'welcome, please read before posting'. Explain that the fake PCN has as much legal clout as a Burger King flyer put on the windscreen.

And why not just print off the Newlyn letter-chain from the top thread's pictures, so she can tick each threat off until the end? Newlyn letters are among the most misleading ones in terms of the wording so do tell her to read this forum, not the wording on the letters which is all scare tactics! Tell her NOT to be fooled by Newlyn even though they do have a separate bailiff arm; that is only for real enforcement of Court debts which this is not. They cannot send the boys round, cannot just apply for a CCJ, cannot affect her/your credit rating.

As much as they huff and puff in their letters, they cannot blow your house down!

At 12 letters you've a case for harrassment.

So you had a NCP invoice then you received a letter from Newlyn with a Vinci reference on it?

I would say a lot less than that, especially if you have informed them that the debt is in dispute and they still carry on writing to you.

If a case of harassment is to be pursued then it will need to be shown that, amongst other things, the harasser has had ample opportunity to take on board requests and information from the harassed whether verbal, written or both. If the OP has ignored all of the correspondence and calls to date (this is after all the standard advice) and has not told Newlyn that they should cease and revert the matter to NCP then Newlyn could properly argue that they were unaware that their actions were being regarded as harassment.

Not that I am in any way, shape or form a supporter of PPC's or DCA's but we can't have the situation both ways. Either we continue to advise people to completely ignore everything bar sealed court papers, including the BS from DCA's (we are able to anticipate what they will do and say) or we start to advise them to engage in letter writing etc etc etc. That would seem to me to be a retrograde step and we would be better warning invoice recipients to bite the bullet. Much as I would love to walk into court with a DCA as defendant to a case of harassment I think we would be better continuing as we are.
