    In one of the letters that I received it said "you may be ordered to the court for questioning" . I did not manage to obtain a valid ticket because their equipment was not working (£3.00). I am not a serial killer.

    Zenith makes out that your claim has been assigned to them. This is very bad and against the FCA guidelines. I hope that when the new code of practice is introduced that all parking claims will be come under the FCA as disputed debts.

    Did they really say that ...... ???

    What a bunch of w*ankers. ZENITH = TOTAL PLEBS

    It was definitely in one of my letters and in bold which is why I noticed it. It could have been a letter from the PPC, I think that it related to a person's finances in that "you could be ordered to court for questioning" . I have mentioned in my WS that some of the letters I received were menacing. Some people could get very upset.

    I was particularly annoyed with the Zenith letters as they made out that the debt had been assigned to them. This is when I got in touch with Citizen's Advice and they reported it to Trading Standards.

    I did ask Excel as part of the Protocol if they has ever assigned the debt to a third party but they never answered. I don't think that they are suppose to sell the debts but Zenith make it look as if they have.

    No they can't.

    I am sure that a debt collector does NOT say that.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I think it is safe to say they did not say that at all.

    RT21, you really are not understanding the letters you are receiving.

    Perhaps you would be wise to start a new thread to discuss your situation, because I can see that you really do need help with this.

    I look forward to seeing your new thread.
