EPC plc discrepancies

Grumpy_Old_Duffer

I've read many of the threads on here and other places about Euro Parking Collection Plc, and in particular their admin costs. In a nutshell it seems that people with a similar amount of original fine are being charged by EPC very different 'Admin Costs'.
My original was £17.48 plus £22.40 EPC Admin cost.
Anyone like to share? Could be interesting and prove EPC add on whatever they like!!!

This is a debt collection agency ?

There is no "fine" and there should be no admin cost.

But you just ignore EPC as discussed in every thread about every European 'fine' they chase.

No-one pays.  So the admin fee is neither here nor there.

I’ve been chased for a parking fine - via Verde Portugal S.A - toll. I wasn’t even in Portugal - I’ve never been. Now they are sending ‘ letter before debt collection’ letters - this a frightening now. Can’t ring them - they just keep sending more and more letters for a trip I never made, in a car I’ve never had. We want to avoid debt collectors at the door - how do you make it stop ?

You ignore them. Debt collectors are powerless and cannot turn up at your door. The only thing they can do is send you poor quality bog paper.
I'm told that shredded, debt collector letters make excellent hamster bedding.
If you get enough letters, you could consider getting a wood burner stove and make use of the free fuel being sent to you.

I can confirm that the letters do make reasonable firelighters for the wood burner !

More seriously, how the devil do you imagine someone from Portugal could have legal 'clout' here ?? This is a scam
