Got this ZZPS letter claiming insufficient paid time after almost 6 yrs of contravention date. Just a letter as attached and no evidence. What can I do please?

    Oh good: I see they've sorted out the amusing spelling mistake whereby ZZPS couldn't even spell the Beavis case.

    You know what to do with that threatogram from reading the fourth post of NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST.

    I've had exactly the same letter from ZZPS for an old fine dated May 2019 which was at the time of COVID19 is this just a coincidence.

    Not a coincidence, just two if a batch. They do bulk cases. But yours is surely timed out!

    (Covid in the UK was March 2020 onwards).

    Well, whoopy doo!  Do you know that they are a just a part of ZZPS, operating off a different desk in the same office?  They have no autonomous legal powers. The can't 'enforce' anything unless a Judge authorises it, and you're nowhere anywhere near that!
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
