Missed letter from parking company (UKPC) now have a debt collectors letter

Coupon-mad

Google 'Roxburghe phone calls' and read all the answers in various forum threads about the way to rebut the calls and to fairly easily stamp them out with short, repeated sentences. Even for debt collectors other than Roxburghe (I know the search terms that I have suggested will reap rewards though as this has been covered on loads of Roxburghe threads in recent years).

I would just advise that you ignore the debt recovery letters. UKPC is powerless, they have no legal base. In fact the ticket itself is not a penalty or fine, it's just an invoice - hence why legally they call it a parking CHARGE or NOTICE. They legally are not even allowed to call it a fine and you have no obligation to pay this invoice. You are only required to pay tickets issued by local councils.
Secondly, the debt recovery 'agency' is just UKPC themselves - just another guy in the same office, different desk, sending out debt recovery letters to intimidate you into payment. Hence why UKPC have NEVER taken anybody to court, or actually taken it further - because they can't take you to court for something which is an invoice, and not an actual fine.
How do I know this? Let's just say disgruntled ex employee. Just ignore it - they'll keep sending letters saying they will take it further, never actually take it further and give up eventually. No point phoning them btw, they outsource their calls to a call centre, which doesn't actually have any UKPC employees themselves. The call centre handles calls for multiple businesses, and are under strict terms to never transfer the call back to UKPC HQ (a tiny company composed of about 10 people).
