the NTK went to the REGISTERED KEEPER so you are appealing as KEEPER

IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE

Coupon-mad

Do not post a letter, they'll pretend it never arrived and make life harder. Get a screenshot of the appeal and submission receipt page.

There was no acceptance of appeal it just popped up a conformation box that swiftly vanished


Edit: an email acceptance reciept was received

Okay so some time has passed since this!

So today I receive a letter which is quite forceful from a company called Debt Recovery Plus Ltd. I've had a quick look and I gather I need to follow further popla guidance.

The charge has now been upped to £160 although I received NO response from the initial company. A conformation email was received but that was all that was received after sending the email of appeal as "keeper"

Pictures were taken at the time of the land parking and of signs too so I have these at hand.

The letter "demands" payment or they will take me to court and have actually printed a link for me to see of how a judge ruled in favour of parking companies for non payment

Can you guys Please guide me on this matter and what I need to do to get myself away from this escalating or getting worse

Thank you
Ray

please look ar the bottom of the PCS and DR+ letters notice any similarities?


PS: neither PCS or DR+ "can" take you to court , they are merely debt collecting companies , I think the wording might be "we may recommend our client" , at which point they get NOTHING

PCS stands for Parking Collection Services which is a trading style of Debt Recovery Plus Ltd. So having confirmed receiving your appeal, (on 2/3/2016), the same company has added debt collection charges whilst an appeal is in progress. This is a breach of the code of practice.

Does your letter claim "no appeal has been received" or similar wording?

I've had a read of post 4 and I take back what I said I gather I should just keep quiet

It states this at the very top

"Demand for payment for an unpaid parking charge notice £160

Our client has written o you recently about the unpaid parking charge detailed above. As they have not received payment, they have referred the matter to us for collection"


It does also say this, not "may" or "possibility"

It says the following


"If you are liable for this charge and do not pay the full amount by 15/04/2016, or if you have not agreed a payment option with us by then, we will recommend to the creditor that court action should be taken to recover what you owe"

Is this something I can leave and ignore as it is DR+

Cheers

Nope doesn't mention anything about the appeal. Nor a letter or any replies from it. I received a conformation email and that was all that was received :-)

Then this lovely letter.

It escaped quickly right?! Lol

send a copy of the NTK, the appeal acknowledgement , plus this latest DRP demand , in a complaint to the BPA that DRP and PCS are the same company and have not issued a cancellation or a POPLA code , plus have increased the charge whilst an appeal has already been lodged with PCS (who are DRP as well)

their internal procedures (or lack of) are not your concern
