    I was going to respond just picking out one thing that was incorrect ie. “I requested maps of the area showing where the signage is at the site, you have supplied the maps without this information, please can you Supply me with a map that details this information” and that’s it, and then when they reply pick out another fault with there original response. Short and sweet until I get all the information I requested.

    What do you think?

    Hi

    I've been reading and understanding all your replies. I have the same issue and have also been ignoring debt collector letters, now SCS are asking to pay £640! The letter is EXACTLY the same as BRS7 got.

    I have another 17 days (letter before claim was received on 5th December) before the 30 days are over. Unfortunately, I am at fault here because I didn't any parking tickets and I parked in the student parking area at my university and they have a reason to put a ticket (if authorised to).

    Should I also dispute the debt or pay for it (since I feel I am at fault)? I mean the letter before claim doesn't have all the required paperwork and documents right?

    Many thanks,

    Keeboard

    Court claim received after a bit of back and forth.

    Willing to pay for help to save me the headache, please PM me if you will help.

    I want to go over all the details but don't want to post it all on here.

    BRS7, now that you have asked people to PM you, be very careful about who you trust.

    It is well known that PPCs frequent this forum so take care that whoever you 'employ' has your interests at heart.

    I would suggest that you continue to progress your issue on an open forum. Yes it will be more work, but at least you will have 'many eyes' seeing that you are getting the correct guidance.

    Hi KeithP,

    Good point, many eyes is why I didn’t want to post all the details but you make a very valid point.

    Think I will try privateparkingappeals.co.uk

    Have you looked them up on Trust Pilot...

    https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/privateparkingappeals.co.uk

    Jesus wept...they appear to be suing or threatening to sue, people to take down reviews. And they are shown there, accusing a woman of fraud in a response to a review.

    To say I am angry is an understatement.

    They quoted me here though, oddly, not having actually read my post, I assume:

    http://privateparkingappeals.co.uk/company-news/mil-collections-fail-to-pay-their-debts-again-instead-attack-ppa-again/
    ''Just a few days ago, Coupon-Mad on Money Saving expert pointed out that the parking companies, and their debt collectors, employ a number of unsavoury individuals...''


    Why not just stick with this forum?
