UKPC notification letter

rallye666

Hi, a little advice needed so I will try and keep the detail brief and concise:

The driver parked in a UKPC car park on 5/10/2018
First notification letter received by the keeper on 06/11/2018
Red 'notification letter' received 05/12/2018. This states the keeper has 14 days to pay before County Court proceedings.

Is it too late to send the templates linked to in the newbies thread?

Thank you for your help

Is that from Debt Recovery Plus?

Does it?

Or does it say you have 14 days to pay before they recommend to their client that they instigate court proceedings?

Letter is still from UKPC, it states:

"Despite issuing a parking charge and writing to you previously we (UKPC) have not received payment. As 28 days has lapsed, you, the Registered Keeper of thee vehicle can be made liable for the parking charge. If full payment is not made within 14 days, or if we are not provided the drivers details then the charge will be passed on to our debt recover agency"

So I should start with the blue template letter?

Complain to your MP

It is the will of Parliament that these scammers be put out of business. Hopefully that will take place in the near future. The Bill has passed through the HOC without hitch, and goes to the Lords soon. In the meantime involve your MP, the poor dears are buckling under the weight of complaints about these scammers. Read this one which I wrote earlier

This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of alleged contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors. Is has been suggested by an MP that some of these companies may have connections to organised crime.

Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, (especially Smart}, and others have already been named and shamed in the House of Commons as have Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each week), hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned. They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

The problem has become so widespread that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers.

Sir Greg Knight's Private Members Bill to curb the excesses, and perhaps close down, some of these companies passed its Third Reading in late November, and, with a fair wind, will become Law next year.

All three readings are available to watch on the internet, (some 6-7 hours), and published in Hansard. MPs have an extremely low opinion of the industry. Many are complaining that they are becoming overwhelmed by complaints from members of the public. Add to their burden, complain in the most robust terms about the scammers.

Ah... so it doesn't state "the keeper has 14 days to pay before County Court proceedings".

That letter can be ignored.

Please re-read post #2 above.

So where did 'County Court proceedings' come from? If we'd have taken that at face value @OP, you would probably have been advised down a quite different and unsuitable route, possibly not to your benefit.

It is vital we are given absolutely precise and accurate information.

Full letter below:

“Despite issuing a parking charge and writing to you previously we (UKPC) have not received payment. As 28 days has lapsed, you, the Registered Keeper of thee vehicle can be made liable for the parking charge. If full payment is not made within 14 days, or if we are not provided the drivers details then the charge will be passed on to our debt recover agency.

Following from this, and if necessary, we will commence County Court Proceedings against you for the amount outstanding, interest and court costs. If the court orders judgement against you, and payment of that judgement is not made, this may affect your ability to borrow money or obtain credit in the future. A warrant may also be issued for the courts appointed bailiff to recover the payment. At this point you would also become liable for the additional fees of the enforcement agency."

I have sent a letter complaint to to the store whose car park I was in. And also appealed using the template letter as the keeper
