    I think that was supposed to be Comprehensive Challenges, not a jibe at you, oh what a difference 2 letters can make!

    Unless they are from UKPC and sent to an NI registered keeper in which case 2 letters makes no difference ;)

    Oh, two letters make a BIG difference ... if those two letter happen to be NI. ;)
  • I'm in the same boat as Seven Towers, ticket in January then the standard run of letters as everyone else search the forum and you'll find copies of them all.
    They have now added a new one from some solicitors in Manchester, I got my copy last week but as Seven says I cant see it going anywhere especially here in NI.
    So do as MartMonk said in post #2 just file the letters and ignore them.

    So a solicitor based in Manchester is going to instigate the first ever UKPC court claim? And they've chosen to start in N. Ireland, where no PPC has ever attempted a claim?

    As we say in Norn Iron, "Aye, Dead On"

    I suppose I too can look forward to one of these junk mail letters, still, nice to know I've cost them another £5, at that rate they're welcome to fill my letter box. When I receive my love letter I'll be taking Daisy's advice about complaining to the SRA.

    Yes Daisy, JMW, you can see the full letter in cally_222's post in the Pepipoo flame pit

    here;-http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showtopic=84571

    I haven't received one yet but expect I will and I want to complain to the SRA in the strongest possible terms, so would welcome any suggestions you can give.

    There is already an example on another UKPC thread where Daisy has suggested a damning response to this piece of paper from JMW. Can't recall which thread so if no-one adds anything you will need to search for it using the keyword 'JMW' in the 'search this forum' heading next to 'forum tools' above the threads on page one.
    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:
    Home»Motoring»Parking Tickets Fines & Parking - read the NEWBIES THREAD
  • The legal position is the POFA 2012 does not apply in NI, so the parking company can only pursue the driver. Yes they can obtain RK details from DVLA (providing they are a member of BPA) but that only enables them to write nasty letters to the RK. The RK has NO legal liability for the parking charge and they cannot take the RK to court. The RK also has no obligation to reply to their letters , and importantly no matter what they try to tell you, the RK has no obligation to identify the driver.

    However, there are proposals to introduce a similar arrangement in NI, so if this happens again do not assume the advice will be the same - come back and check.

    Just had a look at the letter you linked to.

    Debt recovery plus are collection agents - they cannot issue proceedings in their own name, so it matters not one jot that JMW are instructed by them.

    JMW can only issue proceedings on behalf of the PPC - and they don't claim to be instructed to act on the PPCs behalf! That letter is a complete dog's dinner!

    Wait until you get a letter from JMW and then come back and I will draft an appropriate response for you.
