UKPC charge advice - parked on bay line

13»

Comments

  • My wife has received a £100 fine for not being completely within the lines at a retail park in Exeter from UK Parking Control. Based on what I'd read in some of these forums, we decided to ignore it. We've now received the threatagram for £170 or they will pass it on to a debt collector. I must admit, the letters do make me nervous. 

    From what I read, we should now wait for a letter of claim?

    Any support would be extremely welcomed.

    Please start a new thread and show that letter. This new example is useful for consumer evidence for the Government's public consultation because (since the BPA dropped the ever-present requirement for two reminder letters first) what UKPC are now doing is adding the £70 for their own profit on the stroke of day 28, with a threat of debt collectors.

    What's the point of the letter and what's the purpose of the swiftly added £70 then?!

    NEW THREAD PLEASE WITH A PHOTO OF BOTH SIDES OF THIS LETTER WITH ALL DATES SHOWING.

    Unsurprisingly I lost the poopla appeal. Thought I had a decent case but it’s clear that it is no more than a kangaroo court!

    I have recently moved house and I’ve got a redirect on mail for now but how best do I inform them of my address change?

    Thanks @Coupon-mad. Did the consultation already and will post the poopla decision too.

    I have received a letter from QDR which I suspect is another empty threat but just wanted to check as my partner is panicking. 

    Thanks!
