PRIVATE PARKING CHARGE - BANK PARK MANAGEMENT LTD - PASSED TO GCTT ENFORCEMENT AGENTS

senseionthemoon

August this year I parked at a train station car park, used the app to make payment - I had to travel a fair distance to collect a car, I had to cancel my trip halfway and return as the car wasn’t ready. 

I went back to park the next day, checking the app I read the parking ticket would last me into midnight of the next day, except that in reality it lasted till midnight of the first day. It could have been my error in haste to catch the train, but I truly believed I was covered for the whole time. 

I received a “final notice” letter from BANK, stating the price had now gone up to £170. I had no initial letters, I had just moved addresses and believe the car was registered to old address, but dvla had already been advised of my new address, I’m under the impression they request details from dvla to get your address to send out letters anyway. 

It’s now been passed onto GTCC ENFORCEMENT who are now threatening “Notice of Transfer to Solicitors”  but the letter states “last chance before solicitors”. 

Not sure what to do here, I was never given chance to pay the initial parking charge, I can admit it was my error initially, but I was never notified in reasonable time, and only given a final notice to make payment at my new address. 

Where do i stand with this? 

Do I pay the £170, ignore? There is no option or opportunity to appeal. 

With BANK they only provided a number to make a phone payment, so I sent them an email before it was transferred to GTCC. No reply. Then transferred. 

What do I do?

Post 4 in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum 

IGNORE the debt collectors letters 

Ensure that the DPO at Bank Parking have your new,  correct address 

Its worth noting that Bank are only allowed to access the dvla database once per case,  they don't get multiple digs, just the one, and only one

Yep. Read the NEWBIES thread post 4 - look at the pictures of £170 threatograms.

Long term:

Ignore these laughable letters, except if you move house within 6 years as you clearly have to check each letter to be sure it's not a Letter of Claim (see post 2 of NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST).
