Saturday morning I received this letter for a car I had years ago. I vaguely remember receiving a letter about being parked for approx 15 minutes without obtaining a ticket. I was not aware at the time that I was on a pay and display car park and that evening i had planned to eat at the place i'd parked at with my son, we talked in the car before going inside, then when i saw how busy it was my anxiety got the better of me and I couldn't go in. I drove away. I don't remember what letters I received at the time and if I have any from when i had that car they would have been filed away years ago somewhere. I remember finding out that the car park ticket, had i have purchased one would have been 50p.
This letter arrived Saturday 31st May (8 days after the "date of the letter") and states they will proceed with further actions if i don't respond within 7 days, so even if i was going to pay (which i'm not) I would have been out of time anyway?


Please advise what i should do now?

Ignore the powerless debt collectors letters, including ZZPS, file it in a drawer
Come back to this thread if or when you receive a Letter of Claim giving you 30 days notice to respond, from DCB Legal or Moorside Legal or a similar company acting on behalf of not so Smart Parking , in the future ( or if you ever receive a court claim against you )
Meanwhile, read post 4 in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum by coupon mad, about ignoring the powerless debt collectors1
