Nothing to be scared about,  just process and paperwork 

Everything you need to know is in the second post in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum by coupon mad,  so I suggest that you carefully study it whilst waiting 

You will receive excellent advice from here along the way,  so come back to this thread when you need it 

Thanks ever so much

& someone will help me with that please. ..sounds scary?

It's not scary. It's a cinch. Everyone copes easily. We have a template defence.

But two things;

1. Promise us you won't post DCB Legal's template reply to your LBC response though? Please don't show it to us again! Please no. Search the forum for it. Don't post it!

2. If you want to be part of the push to change things in future, it's very important that people like you join us to reply to the new Public Consultation, to tell the Government that:

a) you have no faith in POPLA or the IAS and that there must be the SINGLE APPEALS SERVICE that the Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019 *almost* promised. As long as it is independent (and only ONE appeals service, not two involved in a race to the bottom) that will give a real option to resolve disputed cases out of court. You haven't had that safeguard and the debt recovery forms only want money.

b).  THAT THE ENRICHMENT OF 'DEBT RECOVERY FEES' MUST BE COMPLETELY BANNED. DISPUTED CASES ARE NOT SOLVED BY A THUG THIRD PARTY DEMANDING MORE MONEY AND ENGINEERING A POINTLESS 'PAYMENT PLAN'.

c). Tell them about your experience and how frightened this has made you. Make it clear how distressed you are by the idea of a court claim but you have no choice because you refuse to pay a useless scam DRA £170.

Responses are invited to the Consultation now:

Do it in August. Be with us. We will discuss responses on that thread in the coming fortnight.

Sorry, did I do something wrong on your point 1? Didn't realise I had posted anything

No, I'm asking you not to post their future reply. Please.
