ZZPS debt recovery and parking fine

Mark300zx

I suffer from severe dyslexia and unfortunately I overstayed my time limit at a fast food restaurant car park potentially due to my condition, which was overseen by the a private company.

I then received some letters which presumed were junk mail and binned.

Now I am receiving letters from the debt recovery agency mentioned in the title, stating I can no longer appeal and I need to contact them asap to resolve this debt, do I have any other options?

Your best bet is to read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread.

Post #4 of that thread tells you exactly how to deal with debt collector's letters.

Under no circumstances phone ZZPS or any other debt collector.
Who was the original private parking company?

So it would have been an easy one to appeal and get cancelled. Would have been done & dusted within a week cancelled. next time, come here first!

Now you will have to ignore these daft debt letters, until you get a Letter before Claim from CEL and then a court claim (hassle for you, should not have thrown the letters away). You will then need to work on a defence here - we do win, though, 100% of the time v CEL.

Come back in 2018 when you get a claim.

Or try the NEWBIES template appeal for BPA members, to CEL (not to debt collectors) even though it is late. Send a copy of that appeal anyway (please don't copy the template here and ask 'is it this one?')

Please...
