Private parking transferred to GCTT certificated enforcement agents (bailiffs)

grandanat

Hi,
I overstayed in a retail park(cca 25min) and I got a parking penalty charge notice that I missed, then a debt collection notice from ZZPS, and now a letter from GTCC as attached.

Did anyone faced a similar situation? 
I thught private parking notice don't go to bailiffs, at least not before going through court.

The sender address on GTCC letter is the same as ZZPS, does this mean anything?

I'm ready to appeal the charge based on the fact that the sign was not clear, but I did not get a chance, so I suppose I'll have to challenge it in court.


Thank you!

It means they are attempting to confuse and intimidate you into paying them money. Debt Recovery Plus pull the same stunt by switching to Zenith debt collectors if their first few letters failed to deliver - same firm, same address. ZZPS are just copying them.  They are powerless, and can only send you silly letters. They cannot enforce anything. Just ignore them.  The NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, fourth post, tells you all you need to know about debt beggars. 

But, should you receive a formal 'Letter Of/Before Claim' from UKPC's solicitors or a court claim form from the Northampton CCBC, come back on this thread for further advice.

Another con trying to scare people using the word bailiffs

It's ZZPS AND ALL THE RUBBISH THAT GOES WITH THEM

ZZPS Limited
Bacchus House
1 Station Road, Addlestone
Surrey, KT15 2AG

ZZPS, the inventor of the fake scam ADD-ON, a scam approved by the pointless BPA

ZZPS are doing another WONGA and a prime letter to let the government know that these clowns should be banned (search google about WONGA and how they were busted)

They are so entrenced in the scam, they just walk in blindfolded

UKPC KEEP DUCKING AND DIVING between debt collectors and legals maiinly because their claims are rubbish including their signs

These money scammers have one thing in common ... they all belong to the BPA

You didn't get a "penalty charge notice" it does not say that on any communication you have received I guarantee that.

UKPC who are proven dodgy liars, sent you a parking charge notice, otherwise known as a speculative invoice.

You are perfectly right though GCTT are not acting as bailiffs, as already stated they are also twisting the truth and confusing you by carefully worded rubbish hiding the fact they are trying to act as debt collectors when you don't even have a certified debt only an alleged one from scamming Muppets.

That will have followed the infamous ZZPS letter threatening to send bailiffs (and they use that word):
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/79419931/#Comment_79419931

What they don't tell their consumer victims is that:

(a). bailiffs cannot get involved nor charge fees until after a case has been lost in court, and

(b).  GCTT is just a trading name of Gary Osner's ZZPS, so all they've done is sent different headed notepaper pretending a case has been escalated to a serious 'recovery' stage.  I see they use the bailiff word 'recovery'.

It's very similar to the MO of Wonga who were reported to the MET Police before they went under.

It's slso similar to what Osner's old firm Roxburghe used to do, before they had their Licence revoked by the OFT.  He just phoenixed with ZZPS. Same old crap.

None of this will be allowed under the new Statutory Code of Practice and if they don't know that, then their days are numbered, which theg really do need to be if people in the UK are to stop being completely ripped off.

I think this should also be reported to the Police as it is a blatant attempt to defraud people who are not aware of the OSNER scam

The OFT should be warned as well

Police won't be interested though. I'm not sure the MET Police were, about Wonga, but public pressure made them say they'd take a look.

Could report ZZPS to the BPA but personally I prefer to let Osner keep digging till he falls foul of a landmine, later on when there is real scrutiny.

Now is not the time to help that man clean up his act. Softly, softly catchee monkey.

Even their website - www.gctt.co.uk - is riddled with statements about ZZPS.

Their Privacy Policy, for example, starts...

Doubtful the BPA would do anything, not with their scam buddy

And YES, "GENTLY GENTLY CATCH A MONKEY" ..... 

Osner is walking in a minefield and he is not Princess Diana

I wonder how those who put up the money for the JR think about this fool

The letter on this thread will be seen by government and it could be Osner alone that will dictate the JR will fail

How is that you parking companies ?, seems like you have a traitor in your system
