Debt Recovery Plus - Their new letter is a bit of a hoot

Did they come to your door? If so this is awful, the claim has not been proved in court and no questions have been asked as to whether you are a vulnerable person.  

I would bring this up in court if they have been calling at your house.

I hope that these bottom feeders get such a big shot across the bows soon.

I assumed it was a phone call (which begs the question - how did they get the number?) If it was an actual home visit then that's gone way beyond the bounds of acceptable actions when there's no acknowledged or enforceable debt!

I don't think that they are suppose to telephone their place of work either. It can cause embarrassment at their place of employment.

That's right, don't forget these are very low life with no respect for anything.
I am convinced they employ failed double glazing sales people

If they telephone a person's place of work and leave a message then the employee who takes the message may realise from the name of the company what the phone call is about. That would be a breach of confidentiality. In a large company the call may go through a switchboard.

No, they got my phone number from an earlier phone call, I confused with DPD parcels.  They have my address wrong, they claim to have done search and wrote to my old address so I phoned them.  I sent a first class letter with proof of posting to them with my current address.   I'm still partly in contact with person at old address.  My car is all registered at new address (they accused me of faking that).

I would block their number now. You don't want to have to engage with them anymore. Hopefully the new CoP will see an end to their practices.

Oh my, looks like they have taken the crayons away from some of the bottom feeder DCAs out there.
A few names come to mind
Looks like the actual dictation has been outsourced, possibly off shore.....

Always worth a twisted giggle

I got this letter today. Do you guys know if I'm okay to ignore it? They sound terrible and I didn't even realise it was a ticketed area, but upon returning to the scene I did see the signage. Not sure what to do.

A letter from DRP can be ignored.

Your best bet is to read the NEWBIES thread. The fourth post of the NEWBIES thread tells you exactly how to deal with debt collectors letters.

If you ever receive a Letter of Claim, then you need to be reading the second post of the NEWBIES thread to discover how to deal with it. At that time, if you want help with your issue, you may want to start a new thread.

Thanks for the info. I had a quick read but I'm in N.I so it may be a bit different.  Nothing but bullies £170-£235 for a parking ticket is ridiculous. I guess I'll find out in 7 days if they'll try take me to court.
