Hi guys... its been a while... i again got a letter from these people asking me to pay the parking charges. It says this is a pre-legal action warning before its handed over to their legal team. should i call the debt recovery team and talk to them? i already sent them a mail to give me valid proof in pictures from their camera that i had not displayed the parking receipt on the dashboard and they have not responded to it. I sent the same email to Euro carpark as well and they replied stating that debt recovery team is handling this, so contact them. can i post a copy of the letter for you to see? im getting stressed out because of these letters...0

Please re-read the first reply you received on this thread.
What did the BPA say when you complained - as suggested by @fisherjim?2 -
apologies about repeating my post... its just that do you know anyone who has not paid heed to the letters and got away winning? just to know their experience... its actually very tormenting to get these letters....

Yup, the overwhelming majority of posters on here. Ignore the debt collectors. Wait for the Letter before (or of) Claim (or Action) from a solicitor. Then follow the advice on here. In the meantime, read lots of other posts to get a fuller idea of this scam.graceNmercy said:... its just that do you know anyone who has not paid heed to the letters and got away winning?
BBC WatchDog “if you are struggling with an unfair parking charge do get in touch”
Please then tell us here that you have done so.2 -
Tormenting you with letters is all that a debt collector CAN do and that's exactly why they do it wise up it's a scam.

And if you look around the forum, you will see that particular one is an object of amusement, not feargraceNmercy said:this is the latest letter we received...The pen is mightier than the sword ..... and I have many pens.3 -
its just that do you know anyone who has not paid heed to the letters and got away winning?Pretty much everyone. We have been ignoring debt letters here for more than the 15 years since I started posting on this board. No-one PAYS Debt Recovery Plus nor takes them seriously!
What do you mean "got away with"?
What do you think there is to get away with? You've done nothing wrong. The industry is rotten to the core and even MPs know it's a scam.
Did you miss the Debt Recovery Plus letter collections shown in the 4th post of the NEWBIES thread?
Did you miss all the threads already showing us that exact tedious letter?
Did you search the forum for Debt Recovery Plus Andrew Hunt to have a laugh?

Why are you wasting our time and yours posting up debt recovery letters2
-
Im quite new to UK and these things really do stress us out.... im so glad that this forum exists and all you guys are such angels in disguise responding to people like me even though you have been doing the same from such a long time... every time i see a response to my issue, it really relieves me, till i receive a next letter. A friend of mine advised me to just pay it off and get rid of the unwanted stress. But its our hard-earned money (I work with the NHS) and for no mistake of ours... Bless you guys for taking time out to help others!Grizebeck said:Why are you wasting our time and yours posting up debt recovery letters2
