UKCPS - Final Notice Letter

Hi everyone, I didn't want to replicate any threads already out there however I couldn't find one specific to me so here goes and hopefully i'm not wasting anyone's time.

Original letter info -

From UKCPS "to notice of keeper" with the reason for issue "Observed leaving site".

I did some reading up on forum and sent a response however I missed the original 21 days to make an appeal with them (even tho i now know it would have been rejected). i'd like to state at this point I was not the driver but am the owner.

2nd Letter from UKCPS

they tell me that my appeal lapsed therefore the charge would stand. it then goes on to various template style responses and gives me nothing to the info i requested from them in my first letter.

So i decided to ignore the second letter they sent me as it didn't have anything new on it,

so the third letter I have just received is labelled "Final Notice Letter" from UKCPS
it just talks about I have not paid part or in full the balance and have "been sent this final Notice letter for this parking charge Notice as you are liable for this charge" they then go on to say they are the creditor and I have days.

Now what I wanted to check is this what the newbies threads mention as the final notice before court proceedings or is this named like that but not the same?

I have read that I could reset the POPLA clock (now that i have read more i think I really should have tried to do this at the time based on the reasoning for sending this in first place) and I could reset it by sending UKCPS a letter stating the actual driver. this would mean the driver could then do the POPLA appeal - is it worth doing or am I loosing valuable info by naming the driver at this point? should I just ignore until if or when i receive a court letter?

    Are UKCPS really doing this rubbish again ???

    Did they send you photo proof of this ??

    Very dangerous for them, if they take pictures of people walking around, as the person taking such pictures could be a predator especially if they are taking pictures of women

    You now need proof of "Observed leaving site"

    Such cases fail in court

    NEVER EVER NAME THE DRIVER

    Exactly, i asked for evidence of this and they sent me multiple angles of.....the parked car perfectly within the lines.

    So the letter they have sent in is not the one before court so it should be ignored?
    thanks for reply.
