Receive UKPC Parking Charge

RissyMcG

OK.  I'll keep the thread posted for a timeline, but i'll ignore anything else that comes in.  I guess i'll just be double checking at each stage that i'm doing the right thing.  Thank you.

Right, so now that I’ve breached “PLAN A” what is my option when they get back to after my appeal submission?

I'm not sure what you mean.  Either try POPLA (NEWBIES thread post 3) or sit tight.

Just ignore it.  The NEWBIES thread post 4 is clear on this stage.  Nothing to worry about whatsoever.

I'm guessing that my appeal will be disregarded or disagreed with by these people (UKPC), so i'll be expecting them to come back at me to this effect.  I'll sit tight until then, but i guess at that point, i'll do this POPLA appeal submission thing next, but not actually respond to UKPC themselves.

Is this correct?

If you want.  Relax!  You don't have to waste time on POPLA. It's not seen to be fair or independent.

this is all utterly ridiculous.  

A judge a few weeks ago also said that UKPC claims were ridiculous ..... plus they are trying to extort money
Just let DCBL have their fun, we play their silly game and so should you

As Umkomaas said.... an intellectually malnourished duo

who are DCBL?

They are debt collectors used by UKPC, there's lots of joint activity currently between them in England/Wales. Nothing to concern you, even if you receive a letter from them, but if you do, come back if you need further reassurance.

Actually, Umkomaas has never said that, that's a @B789 turn of phrase, not one of mine!

DCBLimited will be the debt collectors assigned to try and scare you into paying their, by then, trumped-up charge to £170. If you've really read the Newbies/FAQ thread, you will know that you ignore the debt collectors as they are not a party to the contract you have allegedly breached with UKPC.

Eventually, DCB Legal, a separate arm of the equally intellectually malnourished DBC Limited, will issue an LoC and eventually a claim which you will defend robustly using the template defence. In due course, they will discontinue. End of.

Just to doubly make sure that everyone here realises, although the parking space is located in Edinburgh (Scotland), I live in Rugby (England).  So this debt collector operating in England and Wales with UKPC should concern me surely?

No - because the above posters have told told you what happens.  Why are you concerned?

The advice to ignore DRAs in parking cases hasn't changed in the 15 years since I've been posting here.

IGNORE THE £170 DEMANDS.

Come back when DCB Legal file a claim. That's when it all ends because they discontinue every well-defended single PCN case. No risk as long as you don't ignore a court claim.

Obviously if you move house you have to contact them but that goes without saying.
