Advice? Search on this forum for "APCOA" and "DRP" for a start. A veritable library of posts. Only need to look at 2016 ones.

Dates of PCH and NtK required and do you still have them?

When you see all the links on that thread linked by Quentin you'll see why we really never need to read any thread about DRPlus ever again.

in that case you have more money than sense

its an unsolicited demand for money with no proof it is owed

6 letters

IGNORE

ie:- ignore DRP, and any other debt collectors, for 6 years

APCOA have 6 years to try a small claim in the small claims court system, known as MCOL

if you dont like the replies, its because the question is asked on here thousands of times and the replies are always the same and has been for the last decade

IGNORE DRP

IGNORE ZENITH

IGNORE THE DEBT COLLECTORS

respond to only an LBC or to an MCOL (google them)

only a fool would pay up

spending one afternoon on here reading threads would have told you this info hundreds of times, hence the apathy WE feel about DRP

you would get the same reaction asking if MAN UTD won the FA Cup , ie:- some simple research would give you the answer and it would let those of us who reply to reply to people who actually need help, help that can save them £100

its also worth bearing in mind that your BB is not valid on private land like in this case, so always check the rules where you are parking, as in some cases payment needs to be made, like on this occasion

the EA2010 may well apply, but not your BB, so check the Blue booklet or download their pdf and read about where it is valid, like public roads etc, otherwise you will get more of the same if you park on private car parks, which include doctors surgeries, care trusts , hospitals , airports , retail parks , supermarkets etc (many BB holders are caught out by assuming it protects them in all cases)

complain to PALS and insist it is cancelled under the EA2010

Anyone could read any threads here without logging in or even having a username. It's an open forum for anyone to read.

Clear as mud, advice that consistently and with example thread links, says 'IGNORE DRPLUS'? Strange first post/thread.

Complain to PALS, don't PAY.
