Coupon-mad

It's MUCH less than 1 in 5 to win, it's as rare as hen's teeth. If you had 20% chance I would tell people to try! Because there is NO CHANCE, don't bother.

Right ok. So if I decide to write and explain why, as you said. What should I write to them to say I'm not going to appeal?

If I completely ignore, when should I take action - when I receive what information?

todd89

Coupon? Really not sure.

if or when you receive an LBC (Letter Before Claim) from VCS (or Excel if they get the paperwork wrong)

if or when you receive an MCOL from Northampton on behalf of VCS (or Excel if they get the paperwork wrong)

Received another letter this morning from ZZPS Limited on behalf of their client VCS LTD reminding me of the parking fine. They said they will pass it on to their solicitors Wright Hassall LLP and will increase to an additional £25. Then mentioning about taking legal action etc.


What to do?

Ignore - they are a debt collector, as are Right Hassle in this respect. The NEWBIES thread tells you this, in one of the later posts.

(Deliberate misspelling).

hoohoo

One school of thought is to ignore until you get court papers. The other is to respond in order to look good in front of a judge.

Dear ZZPS,
The debt is denied, please refer back to your princpal. The signage was not sufficient to create a contract, and the charge is a penalty and therefore unenforceable (please refer to ParkingEye v Beavis). The signage is also in breach of consumer legislation. In addition, your client has not shown they have the right to issue charges.

Great. Thanks for that. I will use just this and keep a copy.

I have now received a letter from Wright Hassall ordering me to pay up the debt plus an additional £30 administration fee.


Failure to make payment may result in passing matters over to Litigation Department which means looking at County Court Judgement.


I am bit worried about this now since it says it could affect my future employment and credit rating.


What shall I do?


I heard there is a website where I can pay £12 to get it all sorted for me.

If you know of a website that can get it all sorted for just £12 that sounds too good to be true!


But you are being unnecessarily frightened about your future employment/credit rating.


A CCJ only goes against your credit rating if you actually get one (after ignoring a court claim or attending a hearing and losing) and ignore it for a month.

And a CCJ will never appear on a CRB check!
