It did happen after Oct 1st. As a further complication, the car will soon be gone in two weeks time as I've part-exed it against a new car. I guess that i'm obliged to inform the car dealer.

All you are obliged to do is to notify DVLA of the change of registered keeper, in the usual way. DVLA should give the PPC the correct details based on the date of the change, but anyway I don't suppose the dealer will care if they accidentally get a threatogram from UKPC, it probably happens to them all the time.

Hi all, here's my latest update...about a week after recieving my first letter from dept recovery plus, they were kind enough to send me a second letter which was an exact copy of their first letter. Now i have recieved a third letter from them. I read your posts Skagbagger and i think they must have sent a batch of them out because i have just today also recieved the exact same one as you. It's the
NOTICE OF INTENDED LITIGATION one. Oh well ...never mind...keep calm and carry on.

I have just received my second letter from Debt Recovery Plus stating I have 7 days to pay this letter. Do I continue to ignore.

I wouldn't, it's not a fine or anything.

This has happened to me at Stevenage Leisure Park. They have suddenly put up ambiguous notices and after 2 years of parking there I have received a ticket. The ticket is illegible and the photos they have posted show that I am parked within the lines so I have queried the ticket. However, on looking on another forum I see that a man was charged £90 for walking up the station stairs to collect his sick friend, the charge was issued despite the fact he then ate on the site. The evidence they say is the fact that he was parked near the station stairs.

You are wasting your time querying it, just ignore it.

What exactly do the ambiguous signs say?

He doesn't know because they are ambiguous :rotfl:

Anyway there is no point querying anything , unless it was given on or after 1st October, in which case you have a different option, though ignoring is as good if you haven't got a thick enough skin to make them jump through hoops and ultimately cost them money.

rattyslane,

There is no point in contacting them, they already know they are in the wrong as their business model is based on lies and deception.

If you do contact them they will take that as an indication that you are falling for their 'impersonation of authority' scam. They will then single you out for special attention and pressure to convince you to give them money.

If the car is registered to you the easiest option is just to ignore them. You can probably find samples of what to expect from them in the 3rd sticky thread at the top of this forum.

If you need reassurance come back here as each letter arrives.

I will try and get there to take some pictures and post them.
