Hi
a parking ticket was issued on 27th July 2018 at 4.58am for being parked in a residents parking area . The driver has not responded to any of the paperwork sent so far.
Now a DRP has been sent for £160 stating if it’s not payed it will be court action
Advice is needed please. Isn’t 4.58am a bit early to be giving out parking tickets .

At 4.58 am, you have a spy amongst you.
UKPC offer spies the chance to earn commission
as self ticketers .......
DRP ... THE RUBBISH DEBT COLLECTOR TRYING TO
SCAM AN EXTRA £60 FROM YOU .....
IGNORE THESE BPA SCAMMERS
THE £60 SCAM OPERATED BY DRP ?

Post Four of the Newbies Sticky covers DRP entirely. Please read it carefully, then the rest of the thread, so you are ready if UKPC ever try court.0

On a warm and sunny bright morning in the middle of our hottest summer for over 40 years, when at that time in the morning the ticketer can earn his bonuses so easily, because most transgressors are fast asleep and he can hot-tail it from there before anyone realises they've been ticketed, so not having to face any flack. In fact he could be back in his bed, day's bonus earned, before you even get out of yours. Easy money. That's how the industry operates.Isn’t 4.58am a bit early to be giving out parking tickets .
Why didn't you?The driver has not responded to any of the paperwork sent so far.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

I’m getting more confused by the minute. On some threads I’ve read it states that UK PARKING CONTROL. Can NOT get names of registered keeper of the cars they give parking tickets to.but in this case it was NOT address to the KEEPER it was to there FULL NAME . so they must get the details from DVLA. As stated above the driver has not responded to any letters from UK PARKING CONTROL or DRP. the advice I’m looking for is should the driver contact uk parking control to appeal or Leave it . The parking charge was on the window screen of car so not sure about the neighbour spying . They must start work very early to be issuing tickets at 4.58am
As for the DRP (debt recovery) am I right that I should ignore this letter0 -
That’s a good question . a lot of threads advise not to appeal or get in contact .0

Where does it say that? Nowhere I'd suggest.On some threads I’ve read it states that UK PARKING CONTROL. Can NOT get names of registered keeper of the cars they give parking tickets to
Of course they do - as they have for years and years.in this case it was NOT address to the KEEPER it was to there FULL NAME . so they must get the details from DVLA.
Too late. Ignore anything now (including guff from DRP) unless you get a Letter Before Court/Action from UKPC or their solicitors, or a real court claim from the Northampton CCBC.the advice I’m looking for is should the driver contact uk parking control to appeal or Leave itPlease note, we are not a legal advice forum.

An irrelevant question!
The Sticky is the clear answer - as reading it gives you the most consistent and up to date info.
Searching-out random threads runs the risk of turning-up horrendously outdated stuff, which is no use to anyone now.0 -
Im pretty sure if you go back before 2012 you can find suggestions to never appeal
SInce then things have changed
Newbies thread. Read it. It is COMPLETELY up to date.0 -
