'IGNORE THE DEBT COLLECTORS' STAGE

DO NOT PANIC!



CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH, THIS IS NOT A FORUM FOR TALKING AD INFINITUM ABOUT DEBT COLLECTOR LETTER CHAINS SO PLEASE SPARE US!!!!!!! DO NOT START A NEW THREAD ABOUT DEBT COLLECTOR TEDIUM, PLEASE, JUST SEARCH AND READ WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN SAID.


READ THIS CLICKY LINK (YES THE BLUE BIT, CLICK ON IT!) AND DO NOT, PLEASE DON'T, START A NEW THREAD ABOUT ROSSENDALES or DEBT RECOVERY PLUS OR ZZPS OR WRIGHT HASSALL!



Debt Collectors letters or threats of court? Thinking you may be too late to appeal?

You may get debt collector letters, e.g. 'Debt Recovery Plus' (also using trading names of 'PCS' and 'Zenith') or you might have 'Newlyn', 'Rossendales', 'Control Account', 'CCS Collect' or 'ZZPS' or 'Wright Hassall'.


THESE ARE NOT BAILIFFS, THEY CANNOT SEND THE BOYS ROUND! THIS IS JUST A LETTER-CHAIN YOU GET IF YOU HAVE NOT APPEALED.
See this linked explanatory video which will help you to see it for what it is and say 'big deal' about the letters:
LINK: Is a debt collector the same as a bailiff? - StepChange...


All the blue wording below includes a link for you to click about the stupid debt collectors so click on the name:

If you have letters from any debt collector such as Debt Recovery Plus or Zenith or Roxburghe, and are on the face of it, too late to 'appeal', then (if in England/Wales) either ignore them or robustly respond. I recommend ignoring debt collectors as the response leads nowhere.

As well as the links shown (click on the blue words), here's a strong response to send if the PPC says you are 'too late' and it's now with a debt collector:

and here's a 'Letter before Claim' drafted to include the Landowner as well, warning them to call their dogs off due to harassment (after 35 DRP letters!):

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?p=64297676&highlight=#post64297676

...and here's a case (link below) where a strong response to ParkingEye when they were nearly at court stage, pulled it back to a POPLA appeal stage even though ParkingEye had already stated (wrongly) that it was 'too late' for POPLA. It is NOT too late for POPLA, insist on it and they can't easily take it to court. You can make their position very difficult - and maybe a POPLA code and rejection letter will follow as it did here. months after the parking event:

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?p=63990978#post63990978

Keep responding and insisting on a POPLA code and rattling their cage. It can get a charge cancelled, can get a POPLA code and also looks better if it does go to court.

If the letter threatens court imminently, or a solicitor like 'Wright Hassall(!) or LPC Law, then consider responding to tell the debt collector that the charge is disputed/denied, and send a robust appeal as the registered keeper (NOT DRIVER!) to the PPC as discussed here: http://parking-prankster.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/ukpc-jump-on-lpc-law-bandwagon.html

And if you have told the Debt Collector that the 'debt is disputed and denied' and they persist, complain to:
- The Credit Services Association for breach of this Code: http://www.csa-uk.com/page/codes-and-standards/code-of-practice
- and you can make a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=63862035&postcount=449
- and if the debt collection is misleading, uses a firm pretending to be bailiffs, sends fake court papers, does not follow the CSA Code of Practice (linked above) for example, then complain by email (see post 1) to the DVLA about breach of the "KADOE contract": http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=4890308

IF YOU DON'T SEE A LINK TO YOUR DEBT COLLECTOR ABOVE (e.g. ZZPS, DCBL, NEWLYN or ROSSENDALES or others) PLEASE DON'T START YET ANOTHER POINTLESS NEW THREAD ABOUT IGNORING DEBT COLLECTORS BECAUSE FRANKLY THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO ADD TO THIS ADVICE (and there are far too many threads already). Just search for the firm's name and read threads already here.

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO WASTE HOURS ON IT THEN PLEASE NO NEW THREAD, JUST SEARCH THE PARKING FORUM FOR THEIR NAME AND MAKE A CUPPA AND READ ALL ABOUT THEIR SILLY LETTER CHAINS, AND EITHER SEND ONE ROBUST REPLY OR TOTALLY IGNORE THEM.

THAT'S ALL.

KEEP ALL THE LETTERS IN CASE IT BECOMES HARASSMENT, OR IN CASE THE PPC EVER TRY A SMALL CLAIM.

here is some simple advice then

separate the entities first

Private Parking Company

any letter from them should be opened promptly and read, in case its about court action , they will write to the RK at the address on the V5C, nothing you say or do will alter this (unless you name the driver with their address)

DRP or ZENITH or some other debt collector letter

do not open them , do not read them , IGNORE THEM completely, put them in a folder marked IGNORE in black marker pen and keep for 6 years - do not even ask about them on the forums, its nauseous and pointless , nothing can be done so dont bother trying

https://bmpa.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203589972-Debt-Recovery-Plus-Ltd-also-t-as-Parking-Collection-Services-Zenith-Collections

COURT LETTERS from a county court, such as Northampton Bulk Centre , Salford Centre or any county court

open these and read them promptly, getting advice before doing anything and making sure you keep to any deadlines

if you get any letters from a solicitors, open and read them , treating them like court letters unless proved different (like debt collectors pretending they are solicitors)


if this does not answer your questions, then perhaps you are asking the wrong questions, because there is nothing other than the above

yes , take the landowner to task , if its a trust see this link

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nhs-patient-visitor-and-staff-car-parking-principles/nhs-patient-visitor-and-staff-car-parking-principles

if you get the Beavis petition signed and get as many family , friends and work colleagues to sign it too then maybe we will get changes made to these parking scumpanies

Hi all,
I have read almost everything on here and still not sure how to go on about this

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL parking eye rejected appeal

I am a next of keen of my sister who under gone kidney transplant operation.

On her discharge day I went to collect her, having made sure she got her release papers and I payed for an hour session. BUT she couldn't walk further from her bed to the lift. further wait for help and support resulted in overstayed my parking time by 36 minutes. I couldn't leave her in this disparate situation. Further I called the hospitals parking office and they think I had time to go and top up, I would like to see them doing that if it was their loved one falling sick in front of them.

They have me as the driver, when I did the online appeal.

Got 5 days otherwise full charge will apply if I appeal to POPLA.

PLEASE HELP...

Parking should be done in hospitals with cards and gates to pay before leaving, as we never know how long it takes in these situations...
