ZZPS Debt Recovery Letter

Hi, I received another letter from ZZPS stating ‘Notice if Intended Legal Collections’ and that if I don’t take any action it will be passed to QDR Solicitors. Ignore this letter?

ZZPS are total idiots .........  they love wasting time and money ......but the crap they feed out is just another ZZPS load of rubbish ........ Only the PPC can instruct a legal like QDR and by the way, QDR are wholly owned by the disgraced Wright Hassall solicitors 
QDR must send a letter of claim giving you 30 days to respond and that's when a reply is required.
No doubt ZZPS added £60 in their letters which is scam. Trouble with QDR, is that they continue with the £60 scam and that why Warwick court spanked them recently ....

QDR (Part of Wright Hassall solicitors) spanked in Warwick court
for ABUSE OF PROCESS

Please read the information in the stickies on how to deal with debt collectors letters

Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams, so consider complaining to your MP, it can cause the scammer extra costs and work, and has been known to get the charge cancelled.

Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, many of whom are former clampers, 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.

thank you!

You need to re-read several of the replies you have already received.

For example:

DoaM said:

Read the NEWBIES FAQ thread - there's info specifically about debt collectors.

ZZPS cannot take you to court .... ever.

and...

beamerguy said:

Firstly you do not owe £170 ..... it's all part of the ZZPS.SCAM

"IT COULD GO TO COURT"   well it could if CEL want to try their luck but ZZPS NO WAY, they live in sewers and they pop out all over the UK looking for mugs ?     You are not one of them so IGNORE THE ZZPS TRASH

and...

As above, debt collectors have absolutely no powers and can be ignored. The fourth post of the NEWBIES tells you why it is safe to do so.

So should I ignore it? I’ve read that previously they have advised solicitors to send letters also, threatening to go to court..

Yes, they do used pimped out letterheads, only very dodgy solicitors would allow that.
Makes no difference, either CEL or a dodgy legal must send you a "letter before claim" giving you 30 days before any action, If you get one of these come back here.

Don't get sucked in by powerless idiots

Now... what don't you understand in those posts?

NO, it's a 14 day debt chasing letter. A real Letter before claim must give you 30 days to respond and include proof.

Gladstones are a highly incompetent firm and now they have tainted themselves and claim by adding a fake £60.  Gladstones know the courts  call it ABUSE OF PROCESS, they have been spanked for it and claims struck out.
ABUSE OF PROCESS

Either ignore it or call this low life firm out and ask the question "on what legal authority do they have to add £60 ?"   There is a letter you can send them with your request.

Be prepared for a reply full of rubbish .... it's a great reply to show a judge if it gets that far

Did it give you 30 days to pay or take action?  I can see from the letter that it gives you 14 days, it is therefore not a letter of/before claim (LOC) and is a begging letter, more commonly called a debt collection notice.  It should be placed in the pile under "take no action" but do not throw it away, it can be used later if it gets to court to prove unreasonable behaviour.  Take note though that it is still a live issue and you are likely to receive a proper LOC in due course.

I thought this thread was about a Civil Enforcement Ltd parking charge?  The Gladstones letter is in relation to an entirely different parking firm. Do you have two (or more!) cases on the go at the same time?

Its merely debt collecotrs. You know it is, because it does not state court action will occur. 
But, as above, this isnt CEL. 

ImranU95

I just realised this is a completely different ticket, meaning I have 2 at the same time! This ticket is from 1st Jan! 

ImranU95

In regards to CEL, I’ve not had anything through from them for a while so I will keep an eye out for that. In regards to Gladstone’s, I should take no action with this letter and await a Letter of Claim?
