ANOTHER UKPC Fine (newbie please be gentle)

Coupon-mad

What tosh! How about this reply:



Dear Mr Grantham,

For the avoidance of doubt, your continued emails/letters are harassment.

In relation to my claim against you, I would refer you to the following link which highlights a similar claim by another individual which was successful in court. As you and your chums the Brierleys will be aware, it was just a matter of suing under the Protection from Harassment Act as your company was pursuing a fake (private) 'PCN' in the full knowledge that the person being harassed was not the driver:

Regarding the Parking Charge Notice (fake 'PCN') itself, for the reasons outlined previously, the charge will not be paid.

I recommend that you obtain professional legal advice regarding this matter as soon as possible or simply return the file to your client since the alleged debt is denied. To continue to contact me over a denied debt is clearly harassment and a breach of the OFT guidelines for Debt Collection as well as a breach of the BPA Code of Practice.

If you do not desist from your harassment over a debt that is denied, the matter will be considered for legal action and this may further incur costs. Furthermore, should this matter proceed to court a County Court Judgement (CCJ) may be granted in my favour and this may draw a negative effect on your credit rating.

I understand that this is not the desired outcome. However, the decision on this matter is final.

Furthermore, while any further correspondence from yourselves will be added to my file detailing your continued harassment of me, I cannot assure you of another response as I consider this email adequate notice of my intentions and it would fulfil the pre-action protocols required for County Court.

TAKE FORMAL NOTE: Cease all contact with me immediately. I trust that is clear.

Regards

Jake

Mr coupon mad, after some more research I believe it is in fact illegal for DRP (debt recovery plus) to send me threatening letters/e-mails when they cannot prove I committed the alleged offence nor prove who the driver was (not the owner) and that if I were to pursue this, it is entirely legal from my perspective (unlike their fake PCN)? If that's true, I (with possibly your helping hand?) would like to draft a warning letter to send to them informing them of the law they are breaking and that if further action/harassment continues, I will sue them. Any ideas?

Jake, I have it in my head for some reason that Mr. Coupon-mad is actually Ms. Coupon-mad.

Howsoever, he/she has already pretty much written above what you need to send. If you want to include the exact law it's this: the Protection From Harassment Act 1997.

I love the way they post these cases on their websites without any details. The case they refer too could be for anything. They may well have had a REAL debt too pursue, which as long as they stayed within the OFT guidelines would not be harassment.

I am sure if it was a PCN case they would have mentioned that, its a bit like their list of CCJ's no foundation.

Nothing new to report, I haven't had any new letters from UKPC or DR+, meanwhile my debt collectors have now sent off the "draft county claim form" to UKPC.

That's quite ironic, considering the response advocated to receiving draft forms on here.
