How many DCA's are PPC Bottom Feeders?

So technically not using the word "assigned" but making that claim in bold letters. The content does say "Please accept this letter as official notification that Zenith Collections are now responsible for the recovery of this debt" which is, of course, NOT the same thing.

Proof of Zenith lying. As said, a DCA Lying is as bad as a DCA buying an unsaleable debt, in the eyes of Trading Standards and/or the courts.

Same letter they've used for years. Move on, nothing to see here.

I would have redacted the reference number

DRP already know that they aren't getting a penny for the "debt" and without knowing who the letter is to, the reference number alone is useless.

Someone claimed they don't use the word "assigned" when clearly they do claim to have been assigned the debt, as I said.

Back to the point - are there any other DCA's doing PPC work?

It's a subtlety, but ... they're not saying that the debt has been assigned to them, they're saying that they've been assigned the task of recovering the debt.

No meat to that bone, sorry.

we'l see when they reply to my response to them:

Please also note that as you are an ATA member of the International Parking Community, it is a breach of your ATA Code of Practice, section 22.2, for your client to “sell” or otherwise assign the right to collect the debt to a third party such as yourselves, and it is a similar breach for you to seek to buy such debts. As such, to avoid a formal complaint against both your client and yourselves, you must confirm within seven days that you have notified them that you cannot proceed with this matter and have returned the matter to your client.

This is a station car park, a BPA member company, and has a month to time out...

No, para 22.2 of the current IPC CoP says:

22.2 Operators cannot sell the Parking Charge to a third-party company

That is 22.2 in its entirety.

Where did you get "or otherwise assign the right to collect the debt to a third party" from?

Who is the parking company involved here?
Why have you mentioned the fact that the PPC is a member of the BPA? Is that relevant?

ashley_cohen

The point is that DRP are also ATA members of the IPC, so if the rules say Parking Companies cannot sell the parking charge, it is implicit that DRP cannot buy it, or be assigned it.

The IPC has explicitly said that a Parking Charge debt cannot be passed to a non IPC ATA member to process or collect.

It's a much bigger issue for ZZPS, but I haven't had a IPC/ZZPS ticket recently.

Interesting that Zenith think that ????

A debt can only be assigned if a company is allowed to do so, such as banks
The PPC cannot do that and even if they were allowed, they would have to advise the person they had done this.

Zenith are pretty stupid at the best of times so feel sad for them and as the saying goes ... "They know not what they do"

Most DcA's scammers are listed here

The dodgy legals do a bit of debt collection so count them in
Others pop in and out

But, making a false statement should be reported to Trading Standards who already will know about Zenith
Assignment says they own the debt .... they don't

DRP are also members of the BPA, that does not change anything, both ATA's are just a support for their scamming members

You will never get a ticket from IPC/ZZPS/ZENITH etc etc because they are NOT parking scammers, just the vermin who live off the cr*p in the sewer
