    I must agree with B789.  As long as you are sure it is a penalty notice. Don't be afraid to tell these low life legals the facts and if it means telling them to stick it up where the sun don't shine .. do it, there is nothing the fools can do

    What you probably don't know is that QDR are an offshoot of the shamed Wright Hassall solicitors, yup, the name says it all.  The BPA employed Wright Hassall as a POPLA

    What a disaster that was and now QDR are heading the same way.

    There is NO template as to how to reply to the likes of QDR 
    You are smart ... B789 has given you the starter points

    You see, ZZPS is the great OSNER scam and QDR has been sucked into rubbish.
    SABA should think very carefully as to who they select

    Yes I deleted the reply as you said its a penalty notice then a PCN
    So you reply thus
    You tell them they are out of time. The county court has no jurisdiction in this matter and if they try and issue a claim under contract to provide case law to show they can do this (it wont exist) and do a SAR to saba
    Then you defend (imho) on this issue alone if you get a claim (that's its timed out as it was a summary issue only) Again look for case law on summary issues. Look for any appeals "by way of case stated" in the high court in relation to this matter

    QDR/zzps have claimed in the past they can go from penalty to pcn and a court has agreed with them. 
    Get the SAR in immediately
    You don't want any other issues clouding this defence

    Also worth quoting the BPA CoP Appendix on Railway Byelaws cases that I think says operators must make the basis clear under which the charge is issued. Can't later morph into contract law if the parking space was offered under byelaws and the remedy for contravention was issued as a Penalty Notice.

    Be rude; be robust. Tell them to get lost or you will claim against their client for damages for unlawful data processing and harassment.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • As Coupon-mad says ....

    As a bad offshoot of Wright Hassall who are family solicitors, Wright Hassall should cull QDR  FROM BEING INCOLVED IN PARKING SCAMS

    Who would use a solicitor who is involved in a scam ???

    Please can you show us pics of the LBC and a couple of the original PNs? I want to see what QDR (and ZZPS) are saying they can do with a statute barred penalty... want to show this to the Government to stop this.

    Also any ZZPS letters you got, please.

    Cover your data but not dates.  I need as good a snapshot of the letter trail please, as you can photograph.

    Did you ever appeal them in 2021/22?

  • I’ll get the docs together tomorrow. I didn’t appeal them. I have previously but it was entirely pointless as I wasn’t really getting any answers. So I left it to time out.

    Yes their reply will be interesting although it may just be a very vague reply

    Please do post the letters here.  Really useful evidence to show the low conduct of ZZPS and QDR.
