Just got one of these as I ignored their previous 'Notice of Debt Recovery'.
'We will now recommend to our client (This was PEA Belfast) the commencement of legal recovery against you.'

It's a debt collector letter and in the parking industry,
these people are pointless and timewasters.
They can recommend whatever they want but whether
PEA will do anything in N. Ireland is another thing
altogether.

You need to keep everything in the one thread.
Copy and paste your OP into your other thread and let this one die.0 -
This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors.
Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, and another company have already been named and shamed, as has Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each year). They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct
Hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned.
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.
