    All covered in the newbies FAQ thread!

    If this is a proper lbcca then expect a claim to follow

    But if not then carry on ignoring debt collectors (see #4 in the FAQ)

    Did you appeal to CPMS as advised?

    Did you find and read the NEWBIES, especially the advice in post 4 about debt crawlers.

    Why are we getting posts about debt collectors recently, when the NEWBIES thread covers it completely and begs people not to post about DRP, as we are too busy with real issues?

    Are you trying to use the forum on a phone or something?

    I tried to appeal but they said it was past the date that I could appeal.

    I’ve been on the newbies thread looking at the steps in your profile.

    Shall I send this template? I don’t really understand the BPA or IPC thing. The company is UKCPMS.

    Re PCN number:

    I dispute your 'parking charge', as the keeper of the vehicle. I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I will be making a formal complaint about your predatory conduct to your client landowner and to my MP.

    There will be no admissions as to who was driving and no assumptions can be drawn. Since your PCN is a vague template, I require ALL photos taken and an explanation of the allegation and your evidence, i.e.:

    - If the allegation concerns a PDT machine, the data supplied in response to this appeal must include the record of payments made - showing partial VRNs - and an explanation of the reason for the PCN, because your Notice does not explain it.

    - If the allegation involves an alleged overstay of minutes, your evidence must include the actual grace period agreed by the landowner. If you fail to evidence the actual grace period that applies at this site or suggest that only one period applies, this will be disregarded as an attempt to mislead. In the absence of evidence, it will be reasonably taken to be a minimum of twenty minutes (ten on arrival and ten after parking time) in accordance with the official BPA article by Kelvin Reynolds about 'observation periods' on arrival being additional and separate to a 'grace period' at the end.

    - in all cases, you must include a close up actual photograph of the sign you contend was at the location on the material date.

    Formal note:
    Should you later pursue this charge by way of litigation, note that service of any legal documents by email is expressly disallowed and you are not entitled to assume that the data in this dispute/appeal remains the current address for service in the future.

    Yours faithfully,

    You have received a debt collectors letter.

    Post #4 of the NEWBIES thread explains exactly how to deal with debt collectors letters.

    I didn't tell you to appeal, I told you to read the NEWBIES thread section on IGNORING DEBT COLLECTORS.
    The company is UKCPMS.
    No it isn't.

    UKCPM?

    UKCPS?

    I know I should ignore the debt collectors but what about the car park management company? Do I contact them or appeal like a few others have suggested?
