Urgent help please

Hi,

Apologies for long email but I have never done this and so angry/upset.

So on the 12/1017 we get a debt recovery letter asking for £150 for a parking fine that occurred on the 13/07/17 on behalf of premier park. We must moved hous around is time and we sent off the car registration details around then. The V5 came back in September no concerns. In the recent phone call the dept recovery service the bloomin guy suggested I should have paid £80 for post office redirect service even though I had no idea we occurred this charge??
I have received no letter from P.P other than the debt recovery letter on their behalf. I hav asked for them to send me is but have refused and said they will if legally required.

Premier park will not correspond with me, said they won't give me the letter to registered keeper or the original parking charge. Apparently now the only way I can appeal is by letting it go to court and then a judge to decide or not. I have been proactive in this but just feel penialised by them and the DVLA. I have until the seventh to pay.

Please help I don't want to pay the £150 will happily pay the Original even though Xerciseforless state it is to Ben reduced to £10 as they take some responsibility for the iPad you register your vechichle being there was sometimes "down".

Any help please! Or do I just pay it? :mad:

    Don’t pay. You are at debt collector stage, so read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post # 4, which tells you to ignore debt collectors.

    If PP want to issue court proceedings, they will do so in due course. You’ll need to cross that bridge (with help from the forum) then.

    Are you saying that the gym has got this reduced to £10? So what’s happening on that front now?

    You need to formally write to DRP and PP to notify them of your new address and for all future correspondence to be sent there. Send it first class post with a free Certificate of Posting and retain that and a copy of your letter for 6 years.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    What did you learn about these scammers when you read the newbies thread?

    Why on earth are you considering paying when the gym has admitted that their silly useless log in system was at fault?

    Do you realise that many of these landowners that engage these Muppets sign up to a clause that they get charged £10 for every PCN they ask to cancel.

    So it would appear they are admitting it's their fault will cancel the charge for you but want you to pay their charges.

    Tell them to sort it or you are terminating your membership, never ever pay a debt collector either.
  • They handed a letter saying they reduce it government £10 pounds. But the dept recovery are saying no chance of appeal unless we go to court?

    Is that even true that I can't appeal at all at this stage?
  • Unfortunately many people have tried that and the boss alphas a pretty big reputation on here too for just sayin"yup off you go" and not caring really.

    I guess it's just all the jargon they use. I read the newbies thread Andy used the letter in the first instance to both parties but P.P refusing to discuss and debt recovery...we'll threatening legal

    Will you please proof-read your text before posting. I’m struggling to understand much of the above - and helping you is more difficult as a result.

    Appeal window is 28 days from the issue of the NtK. Whether or not it’s gone to the wrong address, you’re on a loser trying to get this back to PP to consider an appeal.

    DRP can’t take you to court, only PP or their solicitors. Come back if you get a LBA or real court papers.

  • Apologies!! And thank you. It's seems so unfair that as soon as I got the letter from DRP I was very proactive and tried to sort it. They made it seem like my fault for not buying the post offices rerouting service. The boss at xerciseforless is well known for pretty much slamming doors and saying off you pop when it comes to them helping it seems this letter of reducing the payment is all you get. I'm re-reading the thread now I'm unsure whether to try and get PP to accept an appeals even though its past 28 days but reading your last post to me seems I should not pay and wait until they take to court? I seen this draft letter on a link on this forum should I said PP this or leave it?



    Dear Sir

    Ref : ***

    I note the contents of your letter and your request that I deal with Roxburghe

    For your information, I have already contacted them and denied the existence of any debt
    They have been told to refer the matter back to you and not contact me again

    I will not respond to any communication from them again

    There is nothing whatsoever to prevent your company from considering a challenge at any stage
    Refusing access to your industry's alternative dispute resolution procedure would be unreasonable and a breach of the Civil Procedure Rules

    It is well-established case law that, in the event of legal action, your company would be liable for the full costs of the claim regardless of outcome

    As far as I am concerned, I have made a valid challenge (date) and the clock is running
    If I do not receive a clear rejection along with a POPLA code within 35 days of the above date, I will regard the challenge as accepted and the matter closed

    If Roxburghe are now dealing with the notice I suggest that you pass my challenge on and alert them to its urgency

    Yours faithfully

    With editing of course

    IGNORE the debt collectors , roxburghe , DRP, whoever , IGNORE

    yes its probably too late to appeal

    yes you can send the rebuttal to the PPC and get a free proof of posting from the PO Counter staff , keep this safe with a copy of the letter

    then IGNORE anything else UNLESS its an LBC or an MCOL within 6 years

    ...should I said PP this or leave it?

    Still not proof reading eh??

    To answer your question... ignore debt collector's letters.

    Have you read post#4 of the NEWBIES sticky/pinned thread?
  • And I wasn't doing so well until the end �� ��I guess I'm just panicking as I've never had one before. Literally unchartered territory. How likely is it that they will go to court?

    check the BMPA website for details on any company`s likelihood on issuing an MCOL

    stop panicing , there is nothing you can do , other than play hell with Xcercise4less and tell them to cancel the charge completely or you will cancel your contract

    they or their parent company or their M.A. employed these par@sites , so tell them to tell the dogs to go jump off a cliff , penniless

    no debt collector can take you to court , only Premier Park or their solicitors

    in any case, its only a parking ticket, its not as if you were accused of a criminal act under operation yew tree !!
