Euro Car Parks PCN and Debt Recovery Plus

victorianallergy

I got a PCN from Euro Car Parks for overstaying the 2 hour limit. I thought it was free parking, so was shocked when The PCN arrived in the post on 23/9/14. It has a photo of my registration plate, front and back. I did a quick google search and the advice seemed to be to ignore, but I am getting a bit worried now. I have since had a reminder letter from Euro Car Parks on 20/10/14, which I also ignored. I then got a letter from DRP (Debt Recovery Plus) on 25/11/14, saying the matter had been referred to them by Euro Car Parks and I now owe £130. I ignored it. Finally, I got another letter from DRP on 10.12.14 saying Notice of intended court action. If I don't pay by 24/12/14 the file will be passed to the creditors solicitors with recommendation to commence court action. The bit that worries me is A court judgement against your could seriously affect your ability to obtain credit in the future, as I can't have any adverse credit history on my record for my job.

I know that there are loads of threads about this type of thing but I am worried as I read the advice is no longer to ignore. If I should not ignore, what should I do?

I hope someone is kind enough to reply to this post with advice, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

The NEWBIES thread post #4 tells you to ignore DRP. This thread, posted when I was very bored with all the pointless DRP threads, says the same:

READ THIS BEFORE YOU START A NEW THREAD ABOUT ROSSENDALES or DEBT RECOVERY PLUS!

This is where you went wrong, below - you read old news, like reading a 2 year old newspaper!

I did a quick google search and the advice seemed to be to ignore, but I am getting a bit worried now.

Hmmmm that was in 2012 or earlier.

However now you have ignored the fake PCN, sooooo = carry on ignoring it.

PLEASE DON'T ASK IF DRP CAN LITIGATE OR DO ANYTHING. THE ANSWER IS NO AND THE NEWBIES THREAD TELLS YOU THAT, AS DOES THE LINKED THREAD, AS DO THE TEN THOUSAND OTHER DRP THREADS ON HERE.

People have laughed at this letter chain for nearly a DECADE, so what is there to post about? Sorry but we have to field this question pointlessly every single day even though the newbies thread begs people NOT to post a thread but to read all the zillions of other DRP threads instead. Like this one:

Please please just read other threads about DRP, so you get as bored as we are with the whole tedious, overly-posted-about subject. Yes the advice is now NOT to ignore - but you ignored that advice and read a 2012 thread, so you are stuck with the 2012 approach now.

Please read post #4 of the newbies thread.

I don't really see the point in such an unpleasant snotty reply. Does being rude make you feel good?

If you try really hard, you can find threads even older than this one.
