Euro car parks charge - Wetherspoons

Options
  • Looking for some advice regarding two fines I have received from euro car park. This was in a Wetherspoons car park where you have to enter your reg plate into the system once in the building. I believe I always enter this into the system as I do go somewhat regularly. The fines were sent to my previous address once in November & January, I was not aware of these letters until today where I’ve been sent the most recent copies by the new resident of my old address. I did believe only updating my driving license was sufficient, I have since updated my v5c document.

    The fines are both for £145, I wondered where I stand. I have receipts from the establishment on both days showing I ordered and was there. Can I appeal these and if so what’s the best way going forward? Do I have a leg to stand on and if so whose actually best to contact, I’m skeptical of contacting the debt collector themselves.

    Definitely no fines,  just 2 parking charge notices from a private parking company 

    Ignore the powerless debt collectors letters,  they are not of any concern,  so no contacting them

    Try plan A in the newbies sticky thread in announcements,  which should have been done by you as soon as the invoices arrived in the first place,  getting JD to cancel both of them due to you being a valid customer 

    Otherwise ECP will eventually issue a court claim against you by employing DCB Legal, but we can assist you at that point 

    No paying 

    No phoning anyone either

    Thanks for the response, I'll contact JD to see whether they can cancel them. Would it be best going direct to the establishment or higher up? I have also been advised it would be good to reach out to ECP. This is to complete a Data Rectification Notice to the Data Protection Officer at Euro Car Parks. This would update my address so I receive future correspondence. Is this the right thing to do as I do not have any copies of the original letters from ECP?
