What a crock of shiite!

i can’t lie it is very scary

It isn't, when you've laughed at that daft letter a hundred times on threads.

Not sure why you are worried; this is the one you appealed and got no POPLA code for, and the BPA are investigating.  

Hopefully this blows away ASAP. Would you say I should be worried about the other one? I’m assuming when the NTK comes I’d just appeal as normal using the template right?

thanks everyone for your help!

Don't worry about either of them.  You are awaiting a NTK for the PCN one.

Just remember, this is very very very likely to be a scam.  They will feed you a lot of bovine excrement.

Update guys - PCS have followed up on the previous email they sent me with a POPLA verification code. Still awaiting NTK for the windscreen one so that I can appeal it.

I have read before that the POPLA code must be sent within 35 days. Assuming that my appeal date (03/01/22) was day 1, the POPLA code sent to me on 07/02/22 is day 36.

Could I argue that the POPLA code was also not sent in the required time frame?

Just get on with drafting your Popla appeal , the delay aspect is irrelevant and Popla won't be interested

UPDATE:

Hi all. DRP have just gotten back to me with the following email.

Good afternoon,

It has been brought to my attention via correspondence from the BPA that PCN [NUMBER OMITTED] incorrectly escalated to debt recovery before your appeal was dealt with.

I apologise for this administrative error and as a result I have cancelled your parking charge.

This now brings the matter to a close.

Kind regards,

[NAME OMITTED]

Thank you all for your help and special thank you to @Coupon-mad for providing me with Sara’s email address at the BPA.

I will let you all know once I have received the NTK for the other one.

Are you sure the cancellation is from DRP?  It's normally only the PPC that can cancel a PCN, after all it is their charge, not DRP's. Have a close look at who it's from again. 

You might also want to check the PPCs website to get the current status of the PCN.

DRP aka PCS do back office stuff for ppcs so not uncommon for them to cancel tickets

Makes sense.

Yes definitely from DRP. From a DRP email address and also has their logo at the bottom of the email.

I assumed PCS and DRP are the same company.
