QDR Solicitor letter

Shawn56

Hello all, I require some advice.

I have received a letter from QDR Solicitors
"QDR Reference:
Penalty Charge Notice Number:
Vehicle Registration Mark:
Location:
Issue Date: 06/03/2019 13:15:00
Parking Event: Failure to park within a marked bay
Car Park Operator: One Parking Solution LTD
Outstanding Balance: £182

We have been instructed by ZZPS Limited who are acting on behalf of ONE PARKING SOLUTION LTD in connection with the recovery of debt, which has been incurred following the failure to repay the Parking Charge Notice, and we require you to make payment in full within the next 14 days.
Failure to make payment in full or contact us to discuss repayment of this debt may result in us recommending to our clients that we pass this matter over to our litigation department. This may mean they will look to obtain a county court judgment."

Now I've called them to tell them I never received a parking notice, nor have I received a previous letter and that I have no recollection of the event.

They state that their client maintains that they have sent correspondence (but can't prove it).
They won't show me evidence of the parking offence.

I told them they can take me to court as I will dispute this.

Any advice regarding this firm and private parking tickets.

Thanks in advance

Have you moved recently and not update the DVLA with your details? This could explain why you have received nothing. For advice go to NEWBIE thread, first page of the forum and third thread down.

No my address is the same. I receive post on the regular.

Is the address on your V5C (log book) correct? In order to find out what the PPC claims you did wrong, send a SAR to them. To find out about SAR look at NEWBIE thread post # 2.

Penalty Charge Notice Number:

Have they actually used the word "penalty"? If so they are acting unlawfully.

This is a letter from a debt collection agency, you should never engage with a DCA, have you not read the stickies?

Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams so complain to your MP.

Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.

Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.

Here you go, join the club. Send an urgent complaint email to Steve/Gemma:

I think OPS need to explain to the BPA why you have received nothing.

QDR and ZZPS need banning from handling any data IMHO. They are among the worst.
