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!):

...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:

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.

I agree but I can't edit the overall title as it's too old, even under 'advanced'. I'll ask Crabman.

Hi Guys ,


Well I have received a letter demanding payment from this outfit ZZPS, saying they wish to resolve an unpaid parking charge notice from another cowboy firm CP Plus. So guys I ask legally were I stand , I received no notice in the post from CP Plus also it was on a Sunday the date of the offence 24/04/16 and the car park also stated first hour free no ticket required , I left within the hour after shopping.
So my question is this I moved house over two months ago , and had a mail redirection order placed on my mail, this company sent a debt payment letter on the 2/06/16 I received it on the 5/06/16 so no issues with my mail direction .
So good advice would be welcome as I will contact POPLA to take up this scam , and legally guys were do I stand as £150 is a huge some of money to pay for a fine which I did not commit .


Please some clear helpful advice please, I am concerned that my credit score will be damaged by these cowboys .


Many thanks

Assuming you read this thread you know what is the advice over debt collectors letters.

You need to start your own thread for specific advice.

I suggested you read this thread as your thread concerns a debt collectors letter you have received!


This thread explains that debt collectors letters can be ignored, and asks newbies not to start new threads about debt collector letters

PLEASE SPARE US!

Newbies - no need to start new threads on debt collector letters. Nothing has changed since the hundred thousand other threads about the tedious letter chains over the past DECADE!

You do not need to take any steps at all and do not need to show us the boring letters.

Read this thread FROM THE START before you start a new thread about debt recovery plus or their ilk.

:cool:
