PCN Cherry tree centre UPDATE

  • Sounds like it to me. No-one can simply seek a court order. They have to take you to court first, which a third party cannot do.
  • They can't sell something that doesn't exist.
    All it means is you will receive some more meaningless letters from their tame debt collectors, which you will continue to ignore.

    the debt is now being sold.
    the appropriate purchaser will seek a court order instigating the recovery of debt.

    if however your payment is in post please notify us IMMEDIATELY
    to prevent further costs

    is this standard for ANPR LTD



    It's standard for any PPC and nothing to worry about at all.

    It just means the next letter will be from a debt collector (a rubbish call centre manned by students whose job is to issue standard letters and lie when people phone up) just like all the other PPCs use. Just ignore them, they have no powers and will stop writing in the end.

    There is no debt and it hasn't been 'sold' it's just that the parking company want you to think it's stepped up a gear when in fact it has not. They all use 'debt collector' letters and you should find you get letters from one of the usual suspects shown on the letter chains thread:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2329119

    ANPR Ltd are not shown there because they are pretty new, their owner is Trevor Whitehouse who used to own clampers called National Clamps. Google them if you want to read about him.

    But when you know which debt collector letter you have, come back and look at the link I gave you again. You will find their letter chain listed under several PPCs I expect! Then you can predict each letter and know in advance when you are due to receive the last one. :)

    Ooooh, and just to add, if you would like to help others to avoid this scam, please send scans or close-up photos of your letter chain from ANPR Ltd and their debt collector, to Crabman (the thread starter on that link). Please do take a moment to send him a pm with the date of the incident and the pics of each fake PCN/letter (with your car details and name/address and ticket number/date/location covered). He can then add it to the new letter chains thread being built up at the moment - ANPR Ltd are not on there yet so you could help!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
    CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

    When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
    We don't need the following to help you.
    Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

  • Hi all just received another letter regarding my PCN from Progress Debt Recovery Limited,
    LETTER BEFORE ACTION
    Despite repeated attempts to obtain satisfactory payment for youraken parking fine, you have failed to settle the balance due.TAKE NOTICE that we have been instructed by ANPR LTD to escalate the matter and immediate action is required by to prevent possible legal proceedings. You should be aware that once a debt matter is taken to court further costs and interests may be added to the debt balance bla bla bla

    Question should i carry on ignoring this ?? thanks in advance

    Yes Ignore and if they send stamped papers, I will help you with a counter claim against the people they were working for as agents.
    Be happy...;)
