First Contact since July 2018

Unexpectedly this morning I have received a debt recovery plus letter pay now letter asking me to pay my outstanding £160 from July 2018 which was the last time I had received anything. Again with threats of legal action over a parking ticket in July 2018. This is a new company that I am not aware of and all correspondence relating to CCJs and credit score threats. Where do I go with this one?? Thanks as always.

Straight to the NEWBIE sticky where you can learn all about powerless, bottom feeding debt collectors.

The extra £60 the have added is almost certainly unlawful, read this, read the newbies, and complain to your MP>

Excel v Wilkinson

At the Bradford County Court, District Judge Claire Jackson (now HHJ Jackson, a Specialist Civil Circuit Judge) decided to hear a 'test case' a few months ago, where £60 had been added to a parking charge despite Judges up and down the country repeatedly disallowing that sum and warning parking firms not to waste court time with such spurious claims.   That case was Excel v Wilkinson: G4QZ465V, heard in July 2020 and leave to appeal was refused and that route was not pursued.  The Judge concluded that such claims are proceedings with 'an improper collateral purpose'.   This Judge - and others who have since copied her words and struck dozens of cases out in late 2020 and into 2021 - went into significant detail and concluded that parking operators (such as this Claimant) are seeking to circumvent CPR 27.14 as well as breaching the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   DJ Hickinbottom has recently struck more cases out in that court area, stating: ''I find that striking out this claim is the only appropriate manner in which the disapproval of the court can be shown''.

The amazing, incredible, magical DRP ???   
DRP are just money scammers and circus clowns with no power ... JUST IGNORE THEM, NO CONTACT WHATSOEVER

Amongst their other back street antics they lie as well
YOU DON'T OWE £160

Coupon-mad

We don't need any threads about DRP, and nor do you.  This is what post #4 of the NEWBIES thread does to death already and nothing has changed in a decade.

You haven't said which parking firm it as and why the landowner/retailer hasn't cancelled it yet, when you complained (as anyone would).  That's PLAN A in the NEWBIES thread 1st post.

Coupon-mad yep did all that x3 years ago complaining to the landowner and it went and got me nowhere so I haven’t been back since, they lost my business!! I can’t even remember what parking company it is but it was Walsall light cinema on the Canary Wharf.
