Hi,
In August I received a parking charge from ukpc, i was totally unaware their was 2 seperate car parks and just went to the nearest pay station. I appealed online that day to them stating that the divide between 2 seperate car parks was no suffice.
Thanks

    for starters edit the above and remove any hint of who was driving

    it was THE DRIVER that was driving !!!

    never give out too much info on the internet

    this should have been appealed back then but too late now

    no , do not pay DRP, they are sc@mmers who cannot take you to court , only UKPC can

    read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread too, so you get the idea of what is going on and what to do in future

    come back if UKPC or their solicitors issue an LBC or an MCOL within 6 years

    To add to the above:

    UKPC don't "own car parks" they (cough) manage them.

    Debt Recovery plus lie to get [STRIKE]results[/STRIKE] cash, I do not believe for one moment UKPC replied to an email the next day, they just aren't that efficient even with their blanket template refusals.

    Debt Recovery Plus will not be recommending UKPC to take court action as the fee must go down to the maximum on the signage and DR+ get nothing out of it.

    Don't phone anyone you will get lied to and it will get you nowhere, the £160 they are trying to get includes £60 for DR+ just for sending you scary letters, don't fall for it!
  • Thank you.

    Nope, because even if you manged to lose in court, you'd pay no more.
    This has turned inti an expensive trip to the library with daughter��
    No, it hasn't.

    No need for threads about DRP letters we've all laughed at for a decade.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Change the middle of your first sentence to:
    ...from ukpc, the driver was totally unaware...
