As I understand it (happy to be proved wrong), the MIL Collections strategy failed as a) the debts weren’t assigned correctly; and b) Operators risked their KADOE access / ATA membership being revoked.

All NCP need to do is wait until they no longer need the DVLA/ATA then assign/sell the debt correctly.

Sadly, I don’t have the time to fill in your gaps; Google is your friend.

WOW that's a lot of court timewasting

Will the ADMINISTRATORS for NCP add the fake add-on

I understand the job of theADMINISTRATOR but how many of them get involved in a money scam ?

We will wait and see

All tickets issued under KADOE will remain as that is the basis NCP and rules they had to comply with

It would be a very foolish company to buy so called debts which would be at their peril

No. i get what @Kaizen2024 is saying.

There will come a point when NCP have no need for DVLA / KADOE, so breaching those rules "won't matter" to them, except if all this is challenged as a misleading action under the CPUTRs, I suppose.

i.e.

purporting to act under a code or rule but not doing so, is a misleading action according to that law…

…but who's going to stop them, given the DVLA doesn't give two hoots and given the (perceived weak) plans of the MHCLG where they dismissed the idea of appointing a Regulator, like the CMA who could step in and fine companies and stop all this crap.

Perhaps the "debtors" of NCP can negotiate a settlement similar to the amount that their creditors might get, i.e. pennies on the pound. £1 seems a fair amount :)

However do PWC understand or care about the POFA and that almost all NCP PCNs were non-POFA?

Pretty much all the keepers they are relying on coughing up money aren't legally liable.

Airport bosses said the rise was "unavoidable" they had to find ways of raising more income after an "unacceptable" £8m increase in the firm's business rates bill.

The new charges started on 18 May, the airport will also scrap a 50% reduction for electric vehicles.

BBC Scotland spoke to several drivers waiting outside the airport to gauge opinion on the increase....

"£6 to £8.50 is a massive increase - it is ridiculous. I have no sympathy for the airport, the cost of living has gone up for everybody.".... "We are not willing to pay the charge, it's overpriced and if there are delays, the cost then snowballs."....."Its crazy, they are just exploiting it now."

The largest three airports in Scotland reported a combined pre-tax profit totalling £255.7 million in 2024 – a £101.8m rise from 2023.

Consumer and motoring dis­putes expert Scott Dixon said: “Motorists are seen as lucrative cash cows by airports who are reporting soaring profits and will see it for what it is – a blatant rip-off."

Debt collectors are hounding a couple in their seventies who say they were wrongly accused of driving off without paying for petrol. Morag Jack asks can consumer expert Scott Dixon help?

Yes he can. In 24hrs he managed to do what Morag had been trying to do for nearly three years.....Get someone to investigate, identify the problem ("a processing error") and stop DCBL hounding them for an increased payment.
