ECP DCB Legal court claim

I was told they bought it in an auction.

Obviously a profitable little number

Told yes , proof , no , not proof , hearsay

Nobody here believes that hearsay , only you do 🤔🤔

So, after not hearing anything for 18 months and assuming they had given up, I have now received another letter from a ZZPS Ltd.  It is a standard letter threatening escalation if I don't pay.  Is the advice still to ignore it or should I write back to parking eye?

As a reminder, the alleged contravention was on 2 Nov 2020.  The driver of the vehicle entered the car park and only saw a single machine which was being attended to at the time, it was opened up, I assume being repaired or emptied.  The driver of the car did not occupy a parking space but waited in close proximity to the machine waiting for it to be put back in service.  After 10 minutes, the driver gave up waiting and left the car park.  The driver didn't get out of the vehicle.

ZZPS are just useless debt collectors who are not a party to the contract you allegedly breached and so are powerless to do anything except to try and bully and scare you into paying. Ignore them. Never, ever contact the debt collectors.

You need to go back to the Newbies/FAQ thread and refresh your memory on what you need to respond to and when.

ZZPS and ParkingEye?  I can't ever recall them having any relationship. Where has ParkingEye come from, throughout this almost 3 year old thread, the only parking firm mentioned is Euro Car Parks (ECP)?

I was going to say the same!

Sorry, it was ECP.

So should I write back to ECP reminding them of the above and that they have denied me my right to independent arbitration or just ignore?

Rather odd that they haven't done anything for 10 months

Ignore them, they don't pursue via litigation. ZZPS are powerless, they just send letters!

Yes, the letter says that if I don't pay the matter will progress to GCTT Certified Enforcement Agents who will contact me without delay.  I'll ignore for now than.

Thanks, I really appreciate your help.
