    Is that the easier and most effective route to take?

    Do I simply write to PE and give the name and details of the 'driver', then they appeal it with the letter in the NEWBIE post?

    yes, but they remove any POFA 2012 details as a driver has less protection then an RK , obviously its even better if you use a serviceable address for this driver too , so ideally not your own if at all possible ;)

    the driver (and not the RK) then gets a PCN in their own name at this alternative address , uses a modified template appeal, then popla if necessary
  • OK, so I have given the 'Drivers' name and address via PE's online appeal and sending the same information 1st class tomorrow (I will be requesting the certification of posting as suggested on various threads).


    I am also going to speak to the store manager where we purchased items, I can't find any receipts but we paid on card, so could easily correlate the payment with the date of ticket if needed.


    I have tried looking for a template to be ready for if they state I have missed the '28 Day' period to declare the driver (as I've read on here that they try that one on), but can't seem to find one. Probably just because I'm a rubbish newbie to this.


    I am going to work on an initial appeal letter from the 'driver', by tweaking the one on the newbie thread for RK's to use.


    I am also anticipating that that will get declined and I will receive a POPLA code, this will probably be when I will be begging for your guys advice


    I'm trying hard to read previous posts to save asking questions that have been asked time and time again, but babies don't have a pause button lol. So please be patient with me.


    Thank you for all advice so far, muchly appreciated!
  • Right, I have sent the letters off and got proof of postage. I have been to the store that I had spent the time in, they re-printed my reciept and also contacted PE requesting that they cancel the charge. It appeared to be an online appeal that he did.

    Today I recieved a letter from Debt Recovery Plus, titled 'Notice of intended court action'. I am assuming this is the same as LBCCC. I have simply gone onto their site and contacted them stating that the debt is disputed and denied. Am I right in what I've done so far and am I missing anything? I obviously don't want to be taken to court so I'm eager to ensure I've covered every area to get rid of this pain in the bum.

    ignore DRP completely , no its not an LBCCC , PE would send that

    read the NEWBIES sticky thread about those DRP letters (I told you all this in post #2 and #6 and #8)
  • I've read loads and saw that DRP can be ignored or sent that little bit about the debt being denied/disputed. Was just being over cautious assuming that today's letter may be a LBCCC. I thought it would make more sense to come from PE, with more official info, but the wording in the letter made me doubt my initial thoughts.

    Thanks for clearing it up
  • Had a letter today from PE, Stating the charge has been cancelled and there's nothing to pay.

    Thanks for the help guys. It's been easier than I anticipated. Not sure why they have rolled over so easily. Not complaining

    Thanks again
