sunrisesunset, when exactly is the six years up (five years in Scotland)? 

I'm not sure if it starts from the date of the offence or the date they contacted you.

From the parking event.

Hi Coupon Mad,some great threads and advice I’ve been Skimming over as need to sort my defence out via the template,just a quick one I’ve randomly had my CC letter 31st dating back to an offence on 19/08/2015!! So obviously incredibly difficult to find exact details,how long before they expire? Also states on the claim section 4.driver agreed to pay within 28days but did not! This is complete lies 

any help appreciated before I start my claim 

Thankyou

I'd start your own thread first. 

Nothing will be given on a thread belonging to another poster.

Did you also somehow “skim over” your clear agreement to not hijack threads..?

@anthonytansley2002, your questions have been asked, and answered, time and time again on here. Only two days ago I wrote this:

They will claim that the driver read the signs and agreed to the contract. 
Part of that contract, i.e. the sign, will say something like "...agrees to pay the amount of £xx within 28 days of...".

So their argument is that by parking, the driver did agree to pay within 28 days.

If you have any further questions about progressing your issue then please start your own thread. If you have received a County Court Claim Form then please tell us the Issue Date on that form when starting your new thread.

Apologise again

Morning all!  Newbie here 
So this morning  27/01/21 I received a letter from DCBL regarding an unpaid parking charge. The notice dates back to 17/03/2016 just shy of 5 years. I worked at the NHS hospital and parking was tight so I double parked in front of colleagues cars I knew would be finished same time as me that day. I have been charged with obstruction but was in an unmarked car park on site staff only and others had done the same. Ive ignored all the UKPC letters and now I have this. Also its an old vehicle I no longer own and I have moved address since but they seem to have access to this information.  they are giving me 14 days from the date of letter or legal action  -  the letter is 6 days old.  ANY help or advice would be much appreciated.

Hi New here as well,

I had the exact same letter yesterday! The parking charge is for 10.03.2016, and previously I had ignored the UKPC as they never proved with photos that I parked there, after I send them a letter back in 2016. (Never heard from them again) I have read the above, and asked for advice and they have all said to ignore. I think they must be strapped for money, and think its okay to send threatening and bulling letters to scare people into paying.
