    GCTT aren't a new company.

    They are ZZPS.
    Is this getting serious?
    No. But please phone them tomorrow and record the call on another phone, as I beg people to do, and submit your evidence of bullying to the Government before the Call for Evidence closes this weekend:

    Send your recording and copies of all the aggressive letters to the DLUHC by email this week. Ask them why this 'GCTT' (ZZPS using another name) are pretending they are not the same company, as sending letters with different names is misleading to consumers who think the case has escalated.

    Do not agree to a payment plan, do not be bullied or scared, DO NOT PAY, stay polite, state why you dispute the PCN and record everything as evidence, as explained here:

    THE CALL FOR EVIDENCE CLOSES THIS WEEKEND.

    It just needs you to send one email attaching your evidence of the letters AND the recorded phone call.  You send it to the DLUHC as the Call For Evidence Gov page shows.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Not just to your MP. That's not what I'm saying.  The advice is to reply to the Government this week, they've provided an email and they want evidence.

    Please show the letter.

    There is no registered company called GCTT Certificated Enforcement Agents - as others have said this is part of ZZPS.  The registered address in Covent Garden is one of those buildings where you can rent an office, meeting room etc, or just have your post redirected for an annual payment.  According to Companies House there are currently 553 businesses registered to that address.

    as others have said this is part of ZZPS. 
    .... and look at the gibberish in the letter ....

    '.... the balance owed will increase as a result of our instruction the solicitors for recovery proceedings.'  Truly professional 🤦‍♂️

    I love the footer at the bottom of the letter in which they claim that "GCTT Certificated Enforcement Agents t/a ZZPS Limited"-It should of course be the "other way round", but why let accuracy get in the way. 

    (I also see that they have missed a "t" out of "Certificated" when they "signed" the letter.)

    The 01932 telephone code is Weybridge in Surrey.  There is a Woking address in one of the various documents on Companies House so I guess that is where they actually operate from.

    In spite us telling you it is not a "fine" you still think it is.
    Also you claim to have a letter where Euro have called it a "fine", which I find very hard to believe, but you have not produced it!
    This would be dynamite if true, please post that letter on here!
