Notice of intended court action

Options
Hi

hopefully someone could offer some good advice.

I received a £60 fine rising to £100 for staying in a carpark for longer than I had paid - by 10 mins. There was no notice on the car but there was a photo of my car leaving and the number plate.

I was pretty confident nothing would come of it and ignored all the communications.

I have received a letter from Debt Recovery Plus Ltd basically stating it's a "Notice of intended court action - unpaid parking charge £160"

If I got taken to court, and lost - would I have a debt registered against me i.e. a CCJ?

What would you guys do in my situation?

Cheers
Frio

    lot of assumptions there, little truth I am afraid

    first , you did not get a fine, you received a speculative invoice

    DRP can do nothing at all, they will say they "may" ask their client to take you to court , this is true, they may well do that

    clearly you have not read post #4 of the NEWBIES thread, it tells you about debt colelctors, ignoring them, plus asks members not to post debt collector threads too

    DRP cannot take you to court, so the letter does not say that, it will say their client may do so

    as for a CCJ , even if you lost in court you would not get a CCJ, providing you paid the judgment in full within 28 days

    if its not paid after the 28 days payment window , that is when a CCJ can be issued

    if this happened in england or wales, your confidence was misplaced
