DebtRecoveryPlus When will it stop?

I first got two fines back in June, shortly after passing my test.
There reason was that i exceeded my maximum stay, this is correct as i park my car in the retail car park due to having a part time job at one of the shops in the retail car park. I have brought this up to my employer 3 times now and they have said they have permitted my cars reg, which i believe is correct as i have no longer received others. I was told by my employer that they contacted parkingeye/debt recovery plus to ensure them that i worked there and was entitled to park over the maximum limit. Yet today i find my self with another 2 letters to add to a collection of 6 from DRP:rotfl:. Is this an automatic thing or are they actually trying to !!!! me off? I am not paying them a single penny as i have reason to be there and have also been told by others to ignore the scammers. I just want to know do these letters ever stop because its quite frankly becoming annoying.
Regards,
Arran

    They have 6 years to keep chasing you or start court proceedings


    As your employer hasn't yet got these cancelled, then ignore is not the best advice,.

    Please read the Newbies Sticky, just to ensure you are not acting on outdated advice.

    Otherwise there ain't a lot DRP can do to you, so just sit it out. Post 4 deals with them specifically. :)

    A note of caution - 'I was told by my employer that they contacted parkingeye/debt recovery plus to ensure them that i worked there'

    op - it isn't clear whether an old or current unenforceable invoice came via parking lie. They do take people to Court - 30,309 between 2014-2015.

    Please check this.

    Is the whole of the carpark preyed on by parking lie, or is another lot involved?

    Next, insist on seeing your employer's current 'white list', including your reg.no. and the date of its inclusion. Next, you require a copy of their notification of this to parkinglie and lie's acknowledgement, dated.
