Harassment by debt company for PCN

Cockney21

Hello everyone

In short I got a ticket for parking over the white line.
I asked PPC to cancel their invoice ( through help at different forum .
Now
Got email and text message ( have never given them both )
Dear Sir

As stated in our previous letter we have recommended our client proceed with County Court proceedings as the balance is still outstanding despite numerous efforts to resolve the debt.
Our client has advised they would prefer to offer you a one-off reduced payment in order to resolve this matter amicably. This discount only applies to the original debt amount and the Debt Recovery fee is still payable in full. Therefore, we have reduced your original Parking Charge debt of £ . This amount plus our Debt Recovery fee of £ must be paid within 7 DAYS of the date of this letter to be classed as full and final settlement of this account.
Call us now on...... to make a payment or visit our website at ........ Please note the Debt Recovery fee of £ is still payable. If payment is not received by the deadline, our client will continue to pursue you for the full amount of £.

...'...........
If we don't hear from you by ...........we will attempt to contact you by phone or email to discuss why the balance remains unpaid.
I really feel harassed as never gave them neither my email or phone no.
Can I use this fact in a court if it comes?
Im sorry for lack of details but as far as I know they monitor this forum.

Thanks in advance

Parking Awareness AKA Vanquish Debt Recovery Ltd and debt logic

you are dealing with the same person , no dout if you decline you will get an "invoice" which is greatly exagerated and inc warrent costs and baillif costs

the guy is scum , do not contact them , bar the number(s) and delete and bar the txt number

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of contracts for alleged parking offences. [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Parking Eye, Smart and a smaller company have already been named and shamed, as has Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (who take hundreds of these cases to court, and nearly always lose), who have also been reported to the regulatory authority. [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The problem has become so rampant that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. Watch the video of the Second Reading in the HofC recently.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]and complain in the most robust terms to your MP. With a fair wind most of these companies may well be put out of business by Christmas.[/FONT]
