Long story short: Got a £100 PCN from PCM on my windscreen for parking in a visitor parking spot outside my flat complex, but my visitor permit fell to the passengers side floor (as shown in THEIR evidence). I appealed to their sense of reason (i know i know, didn't know about this site before then. whoops) and lost. Chose to ignore. Got 2 more for parking in my designated numbered parking spot (but nothing has come of them yet so probs irrelevant).

About mid-December, I received my first letter from Debt Recovery Plus with "Our client has written to you recently about the npaid parking charge above etc. etc." demanding I pay up £160.

I Ignored, as advised in the Newbies thread.

Today, I came home to a second letter from DRP reading "NOTICE OF INTENDED COURT ACTION".

What course of action should I take at this stage? Continue to ignore and hope to call their bluff? Or should I start worrying and start building a defense?




Also, not sure if it's entirely relevant, but my Building Complex is managed by Residential Management Group (RMG). They are not my landlord, and I do not have any direct interactions with them whatsoever as a tenant in this building, but still I decided to send them a lengthy email stating my predicament and requested they have PCM remove all claims against me and all I've gotten back is numerous "Sorry, we don't get involved with Parking Tickets." I've tried again but i think they're just going to keep ignoring my requests.

Thanks!

    DRP is already dealt with in that NEWBIES thread, they are toothless and can do nothing apart from passing it back to the creditor

    DRP is covered a zillion times on here, where the advice is - IGNORE

    ps:- stick to the one thread (the other one) - no need for 2 or 3 threads on the same subject, all that does is confuse matters

    Probably better to keep to one thread - helps those who are trying to assist in having the full story without having to jump around.
