Debt Recovery Plus (UK Parking Admin)

BRM1979

I’ve unsuccessfully appealed a non payment parking fee.

I have a DRP letter requesting £170 for ‘non-payment’. 

Can I safely ignore this given I paid parking?

Rather annoying but a tad bullying in their written tone.

Same advice as in this one

You can safely ignore debt collectors letters regardless of the circumstances,  nothing to do with payment or not 

Ignore

Thanks that’s kind. What gives you that confidence if I may ask? Thanks again. The letter is a tad bullying.

As advised above, it is perfectly safe to ignore powerless debt collectors. Do not ignore a better of/before claim. Come back to this thread if that happens.

How did Plan A go, a complaint to the landowner and your MP? It is always the best option and it is never too late to do so.

Debt collectors are bullies but guess what it works with the unwise so they carry on.

You do not have a debt though, and they don't own it, it's all alleged, so the bullying dimwits can be ignored.

Its only words, water off a ducks back 

After 12 years of assisting people with these issues and the fact that only the data controller  ( parking company   ) can try to enforce the invoice through the civil justice system  ( not the 3rd party debt collectors   ) , plus never seen a court claim from a debt collector either ( the dvla would not be happy about it   ) 

We can safely say that anyone can ignore powerless debt collectors letters,  because they are not the claimant client,  the private parking company is

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

I wrote the 4th post of the NEWBIES thread, have been doing this stuff for 15 years and am the only consumer representative directly helping the Government on a Steering Group to curb the rogue practice of this entire industry.

You are safe with our advice.
