    You have been given useful info.

    You have been told where to find the information you need and what to do with it.

    If you went somewhere to eat a buffet meal, you would be shown where the food was. You would then be expected to find the bits you wanted, and eat it yourself. You wouldn't be spoon fed.
    This is no different.

    I will reiterate the advice already given to you by volunteers who have spent hundreds of hours of their own unpaid time generating this information for people just like you. Go to the Newbies sticky thread and read the parts that are relevant to you. The answer to every question you have asked is in the Newbies thread. You have even been told which paragraph is relevant to you.

    op - in your own words you have condemned yourself:

    I ignored that too.

    Eventually spoke to them and said I didnt receive it..

    ..meaning you are not reading the NEWBIE STICKY THREAD and have already told a lie.

    ignore or appeal. its not straightforward as i have not done this before

    It was straightforward to all these newbies (almost NO new posters here have ever done this before and they all manage perfectly well):

    Now, please, go to the Newbies sticky thread and read the parts that are relevant to you. Grab a coffee and cope with the fact there's a 'fair amount' to read...big deal, it's easy and I have written your first appeal for you if you decide to send a late appeal! The answer to every question you have asked is in the Newbies thread. You have even been told which paragraph is relevant to you - I wrote a whole section on what to do 'if too late to appeal' and then added an entire post #4 about debt collector stage, with links to the tedious old debt recovery plus letters that we see here every day.

    We can't re-write this out individually. Why do you think I wrote the NEWBIES sticky thread in the first place, bearing in mind I have a full time job, 4 kids, a husband and household to run but still found time to write it? The least NEWBIES can do is read it, especially when others have helped you to see which bits to read. Stop fighting us and fight the scam instead.

    I have done as suggested in the forums

    I have received a letter stating that they are willing to reduce the fee from £140 to £112 in order to reduce court fees.

    Is this bs?

    Thanks

    Of course it's BS. Just ignore it, you've done all you can and Smart/DR+ are utterly toothless.

    If you ignore their letters for long enough the fee will eventually reduce to £0.

    The only thing not to ignore is real court papers from Northampton County Court, but I don't believe that not-very-Smart has ever gone that far and they're not likely to start now while ParkingEye is getting its @rse handed to it on a plate by County Court judges all over the country.

    You have not done as suggested in the forums otherwise you would not be asking such stupid questions.

    I suspect you are a sad pathetic troll but if you really are that thick then yes go ahead and pay the reduced fees before they add more charges.

    No-one with half a brain would pay it and you will have read in almost every thread in this forum that you are under no obligation whatsoever to pay it so why are you even asking whether their offer is BS?

    I realise you were unimpressed with my previous reply but I will just add - try searching this forum for the keyword 'Recovery' and you will find out why we are so irked by new threads about DRP letters. There's not much that bores us more than new DRP threads talking about the same old letter chain the poster could have read any other threads about! This thread needs closing like all the other ones people start just because they haven't done a search or read the sticky advice.

    We don't want you to pay it and you might not think so but we are on your side - but, to be fair, there's a limit to how many times we can rewrite the same old stuff which is why I included a section about debt collector letters in the NEWBIES thread and why I ask there that people do a search before starting threads about DRP or the Peel Centre. Both are covered so often that I'm sorry to say we have 'had it up to here' with it, and with the best will in the world...we can't cover old ground again.

    We know you haven't seen it all before and it's all new to you - which is why I would encourage you to do a search and read all about 'your letters'.
