    Is this the appeal you used back in May, or is it for a different PCN?
    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 provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Back in May, was asked for it by PM

    BBC WatchDog “if you are struggling with an unfair parking charge do get in touch”


    Please email your PCN story to watchdog@bbc.co.uk they want to hear about it.
    Please then tell us here that you have done so.

    Hi,
    I've received a letter from 'Dept Collectors Plus' for Chippenham Hathaway Retail Park. I'm feeling lost, scared, deflated and uncertain about how next to proceed. I'm scared that the dept collectors will affect my record and I am going through the process of buying a home so I'm panicking right now.

    Date of parking: 07/04/2020
    Time elapsed: 12 minutes (ish)
    Letter from Premier Park: Dated 07/05/2020
    Letter from Premier Park actually Received: 19/05/2020
    Reminder Letter from Premier Park Dated: 05/06/2020
    Letter from Dept Collectors Plus Dated: 01/07/2020 - received 06/07/2020

    I have written & emailed Premier Park, but have not heard back from them & they have ignored my appeal from 19th May & 9th June 2020.

    I know I'm so stupid for overstaying but this was at a time when I was shopping for isolated & vulnerable family members & friends & we were all queuing for toilet roll and all of that food we didn't need! It was a world of never ending queues and waiting 45 minutes to get into a store! I was also very unwell myself (luckily not COVID) which is why there's a delay in response.

    I've read that Kames are the land owners but I really don't know what to write to them. I've also read that local MPs can help, but not a clue what to say apart from help. Can anyone please assist?

    Thanks.

    You need to read the sticky thread for NEWBIES that asks everyone to read it first before posting.
    Then, you need to start your own thread, not hijack someone else's.

    Powerless debt collectors can safely be ignored. I suspect you have the name of the one that has contacted you incorrect.

    I don't have a sister. :D

    I have literally spent hours going through this thread & I'm either missing it completely, or too frazzled to see what I need to.

    The debt collectors are called 'debt recovery plus'

    I need help, so after researching it myself, I am asking someone to please help

    It is covered in the 4th post of the NEWBIES thread.  Count the posts I made there.  Stop and read the 4th one.

    Then start your own thread as advised. You will not get help on someone else's thread. You will get help on your own thread, but at the moment all the help you need is in the NEWBIES.

    Are you asking @Mouse007 for help?

    If so, you might be interested to know that he hasn't signed in to MSE forums for over a year.
  • Thanks, I was asking @Mouse007 or anyone who could help with footage from 2019, please?
