Parking eye charge notice

Hi all. Back in February 2013 I received a parking charge notice from parking eye. I asked for advice on here and have ignored the letters received. In total I have had 3 letters from parking eye, and have just received one from Debt Recovery Plus Ltd. shall I ignore this too or send a letter disputing the charge? Thanks for taking the time to help me.

    I have just asked something similar as well, I was advised to ignore the original letters and this morning have received a letter from Debt Recovery Plus Ltd threatening action. I'm hoping either one of us gets a response! x

    You can ignore Debt Recovery Plus and Zenith Collections when they write next, they are in fact the same company.

    But since you received that advice Parking Eye have been issuing claims to certain people who have ignored. If you get a small claim please each of you come back here for help defending this. A small claim doesn't = a loss - it's just their next step of intimidation.

    Thank you. Is there any benefit to me by sending an appeal letter to parking eye now or shall I just wait for next letters? Husband getting a little jittery about it! Thanks

    No, past that now. Ignore everything but court papers from PE. Though that's very unlikely still. See Stroma's post above.

    Posts everywhere about DRP and Zenith letters, cluttering up this forum and pepipoo to the extent that I for one am bored of typing the same reply. However bear with me because the pepipoo link is useful.

    All you had to do was Google them. But do read the pepipoo last link, to just a snapshot of threads all asking the same question (I post as SchoolRunMum on pepipoo and you'll see I gave that poster a load of links in seconds, as the question is asked so often by people who don't know how or don't bother to search a forum). It's only a matter of ignoring junk mail from DRP and 'Zenith' (also the same DRP call centre).

    The only time to respond is if you get a Letter Before Action and if Parking Eye decide to try a small claim. Right now DO NOT respond.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
