ParkingEye and Debt Collector letters

hdotgwan

Hi All,

Sorry to be a pain and I know that I will most likely be re-directed to the sticky thread, but I have read through and tried my best to understand fully but admittedly I am having a hard time.

I have basically received a parking charge from ParkingEye (quite a while ago), at the time of receiving this letter I was unaware of how to deal with these sorts of things and was not prepared to pay the ludicrous sums they were throwing at me for simply overstaying my visit by around 20 minutes! This is a carpark just outside my College which is private and I can only assume that ParkingEye monitors...

The issue date is 04/10/16, and the date of the parking was 26/09/16. After avoiding contact with these people for quite some time, they have now started issuing new letters via the following debt collector names: 'Debt Recovery Plus', 'ZZPS' and finally 'Wright Hassal'. I am aware that these are okay to ignore as stated in the sticky?

WHERE I AM CONFUSED is... because it was issued originally by ParkingEye, is this something that I will have to now confront or should I continue to ignore? My most recent letter received was by Wright Hassal claiming the new outstanding balance of £208.00 throwing threats of a CCJ with the words 'if' and 'may'. I am now getting a bit edgy as I said because of ParkingEye issuing this originally, although I've been told to ignore the debt collectors.

ANY HELP IS VERY MUCH APPRECTIATED! I apologise in advance for any inconvenience!

Kind Regards :j

Debt collectors add on any old figure they pluck out of the air just because they can, and some people fall for it.

Even if it went to court, though it is likely that this might not due to the amount of debt collection activity, PE can only claim the original fee.

Coupon-mad

It is unusual for PE not to sue people, so was this in Scotland or at an Aldi site?
