For the last two years the advice has been to not ignore. Check the dates on the old posts you are quoting.

Actually, when it comes to DRP and the like, the advice has pretty much ALWAYS been to ignore (except for LBA/court papers).

I've read a lot of the newbie links but not sure of action to take. I've been ignoring and throwing letters for months from overstaying the 2 hour parking time of a service station. Now DRP letter received - to prevent court proceedings pay up... blah blah.

It has been suggested in these forums to ignore and not to ignore.

So which one of the many letters suggested to be sent should I send and to who, if I don't ignore?

I have made no appeal or any effort to contact any of these money grabbers.

Thanks

You should not have ignored the first letter, should have appealed. But if you didn't, then you ARE in ignore mode with the silly letters! Just ignore it seeing as you missed POPLA. No need to start a new thread about DRP, please spare us yet again from being asked to discuss the same old letters:

I DO HOPE THIS WAS NOT PARKING EYE?!!

Great cheers all. Does it matter that I moved house (but didn't change where vehicle was registered) before all these letters were received, in theory, unless I went round to old house, I would not have received any letters. Or will they just say I should have changed the address where vehicle was registered? I recently received the first contact (DRP) at new address.

Coupon-mad - I've read through your links again and in a couple of places it tells me to reply to DRP:

Advice 1:

Write back. the letter should say

"Dear Rossendales. This debt is denied. Please return the case to your principal. If I received further correspondence from you I will commence legal action against you for harassment. Yours faithfully"


Advice 2:

if your PPC is a litigious one like ParkingEye (I think mine was CP Plus) then you should not ignore the PPC (ignore DRP though). You should be appealing late or resetting the clock by naming the driver & their postal address (if yours was a postal PCN).

But to be fair you also said this: "ignore or reply (your choice) but neither will stop the letters and more new threads about the same old thing is pointless."

So is it now a case of sit and wait for LBA/court papers in the hope that they never come?

The advice in the thread about how to deal with Rossendales is fine - but only go to the police if you actually feel harassed, alarmed or distressed by their letters. If you don't then what they're doing is not harassment and any crime report will be a waste of time.

I think the advice of how to deal with Rossendales in the linked thread should be amended to reflect that.

It may be better if you feel harassed / alarmed / distressed by these letters to visit your local police station with them and ask for advice?

Or would the staff there just want to send you away with (potentially) incorrect info? (I've read threads from other boards on MSE where posters have said that the police told them something that turned out to be wrong.)

Would Crabman be able to split pihaNZ's posts off into a separate thread (genuine question: I don't know whether board guides are allowed to do this or not)?

I am being chased by debt recovery plus, I had a business meeting in McDonald's using there wifi and stayed more than 90mins. I appealed to MET and McDonald's but they rejected my appeal. Met didn't give me the opportunity to appeal to poppla but they are saying they sent it to me.

I am now receiving letters from Debt recovery plus threatening court action I have gone back to MET about not receiving the poppla letter but they just referred me back to the debt recovery company. I will draft the letter from the front to the debt recovery company but is there anything else I can do. My car was a company car and my company said it was with me but I have never said I was driving at the time.

Thanks

Have you read this thread that you are posting on?

luikrc

Yes of course its just all very confusing, my last letter from drp broke down the court costs and said they would possibly pursue me through that avenue, I have never received letters like this in my life and it makes me feel like I have done something wrong, which I haven't

Redx

DRP cannot pursue you in court, just ignore them

the creditor could try it, but not the debt collector

try reading the whole thread, PLUS try reading the newbies sticky thread near the top of this forum, especially the post that deals with debt collectors like DRP

then just start a file marked DRP and put all their paperwork and letters inside it for the duration of the time limits for the SCC , which is 6 years

the only time you need help and advice is if the PPC or landowner.creditor start a legal action, so an LBC or an MCOL from them (but not the DC)

in case you missed it

IGNORE DRP !!
