Notice of transfer to solicitors - Scotland (UKPC ltd, GCTT, ZZPS, QDR)

Skinnywhip

Hi. I’m trying to get my head around this situation and have read the newbie forum, but I’m a little bit overwhelmed with the volume of information, and possible steps, apologies for asking what might be a pretty repeat question. 

I Parked in faraday retail park , Scotland. 

According to the online photos uploaded by UKPC my car tyre was a fraction over the white line on the drivers side. 

1st Parking charge notice was apparently issued in May notifying me of the charge and offering a reduced cost. I never received this. 

2nd letter arrives June saying Final reminder, increasing the cost 

I submit an appeal using the reasons and template found here, - also stating that this was the first notification, I quoted signage not clear, signage too high up, etc etc. they also addressed it to me, misspelling my name which then reads as a different name. 

The appeal was rejected by UKPC ltd on grounds that the appeal timeframe had passed. Obviously it had passed - I never received the first letter! 

I then received 2 more letters, from ZZPS and I did what I probably wasn’t supposed to and contacted them, disputing the charges and stating that I had submitted an appeal. They made note of that. They assured me letters were sent. I stated I never received the first letter and asked for proof it had been send and received. I was informed that the letter is considered delivered 2 days after postage. I challenged this and asked for the legislation around this fact, and Ilas I thought it’s a made up UKPC rule. 

GCTT letter then arrived who were demanding £170 before passing to a debit collectors. 

Today, I’ve received Notice of transfer to solicitors, before passing to QDR Solicitors Ltd. 

I’ve got 7 days to pay. 

Any help on what to do next would be appreciated. I really am not able to pay and under a huge amount of stress at the moment so a bit overwhelmed with this. 

Thanks in advance

Go back and read the newbies, you have simply received a debt recovery letter

You certainly can with that rubbish 

Different if you receive a Letter from the local Sheriff, so always check ( simple procedures system in Scotland. )
