Debt recovery plus

Bradt05

Hi all

Just received my 'final settlement letter' and they have kindly reduced from £160 to £136. This is before their client (UKPC) will take court action. Can anyone confirm how I should proceed as I really do not want to pay up to this low life company. I did try to appeal my ticket but was out of the time they give me to appeal As I kind of forgot about it.

Thanks in advance for your help and if you need anymore info from me please ask!

Best regards,
Brad

Ignore it - read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #4 about debt collectors. If UKPC issue court papers, deal with them then, with help from here.

Ordinarily UKPC are only litigious where someone has racked up multiple tickets running into high hundreds/thousands of pounds.

DRP are powerless - they can only write letters.

No need for any advice or we'd be repeating ourselves, as we have for a decade.
