Parking Fine Debt Recovery Plus HELP!!! ASAP! Notice of intended court action

az601

Hi ,, need help!

it was over a year ago i got slapped with a ticket from met parking
at macdonalds . I actually used kfc as they had told me it was ok to
use the spaces for their "restaurant" , so as normal i parked and went
in to kfc but came out to find a parking charge, It was only then that
i noticed the signs after walking up to one of them that wasnt readable from where i was parked. so i went online and all the advice i received was to ignore any letters, so i did just that..... all good even after 2 or 3 letters(even one from a solicitor) but... a whoile year later and DRP have contacted me twice , the last letter is now threatening court action.

I did have proof of error , the time on the ticket was wrong by 2 hrs
but.... i recently lost the ticket! so am i still to ignore ? i went to
the newbie thread but it said there not to ignore since 2013!
Should i go to court? i really cant pay the 150 at the moment as
i'm skint from car troubles but i am worried because here you all
say ignore the debt companies but in the newbie thread I'm told
not to because its all changed!!!

Please start a new thread, there is no way anyone will find your thread hidden in someone else's.

Yes and the newbies thread has a whole section on debt collector stage (post #4 of it). Please DON'T start yet another new thread about stupid letters from DRP. Just search the forum and read the hundred thousand other pointless threads about silly letters from DRP and Zenith. And read post #4 of the newbies thread.

No new thread please, it achieves nothing and we won't reply with anything different than this:

So what if you are getting letters - people have ignored the DRP/Zenith letter chain for almost a decade on here so you could be reading threads for a year once you search the forum. Try keyword 'Recovery' or 'Zenith' and settle down to get bored reading.

You missed the chance to appeal - a big, fat, SO WHAT is the answer! Entirely your choice if you send a 'get lost' reply, or late appeal - or ignore them.

yes , is the simple answer

now read the NEWBIES sticky thread, post #4 which tells you all about it , plus bear in mind this can go on for 6 years in england and wales , so dig in for the long haul

its an LBC or court papers you need to deal with, not debt collector toilet paper , even if it has scary red writing on it, they are just begging letters and should be filed away, and ignored

Same as explained in post #4 of the Newbies thread. We don't actually care what happened because this is only about ignoring a letter chain and we never want to hear about every letter. Seen them all too many times before; too many threads already cover the letters.

This thread is quite old, do the same rules still apply? I've had a fine from euro car parks, appealed it and they rejected. Now asking for £100 and debt recovery threat if not paid within 28 days. Can they take me to court? Will I get a CCJ? Help please!
