No worries.

And there are literally no worries about DR Plus letters which you COMPLETELY ignore.

Hi everyone. Hi @Coupon-mad . It's been a while but things seem to have suddenly escalated. Many apologies if any of this has been covered before.

We haven't received anything from DRP since August 2024 and had forgotten about it to be honest. Then today, out of the blue, we received a letter from a different company, DCBL?  (Obviously you see the word bailiffs in a letter and panic a little!) They are saying that if we don't pay the £170 within 14 days they will advise the client, ECP, to take legal action. Is this just the same sort of letter as before but worded in a different way to try and scare us into paying again? Should we be concerned that they could take us to court? Do we still ignore?

I now have evidence that we had sent the V5 updating the DVLA of our address change and that this was received by DVLA 2 days before the alleged offence. (Wrote to DVLA asking for a copy of my application)

Again, my apologies if any of this has already been covered. Any advice would be appreciated. 

Thank you.

A debt collector's letter. The clue is '14 days'.

The fourth post of the NEWBIES thread explains exactly how to deal with debt collector's letters, but to summarise that post - ignore them.

But wait... this is nothing new. Why are you panicking?

Back in the first reply you received on this thread - on 26 July 2024 at 1:30PM - it was suggested...

Ignore debt collectors, they are powerless 

Study post 4 in the newbies sticky thread in announcements regarding ignoring these debt collectors letters and their pointless demands 

Come back to this thread if you ever receive a Letter of Claim or a court claim in the future, but please don't tell us about debt collectors letters, no thanks 

So LoC, or court claim ONLY

While you await your LoC or court claim you could join the motorists call in demanding the re-launch of Govt-backed Parking Code of Practice. 

Just a signature required, share if you can. 🙏

Read this letter MPs wrote to Minister HCLG regarding the parking industry's behaviour hopefully it can stop you panicking so much.
