Anything I can do about this parking charge?

    I received another letter today from a DIFFERENT debt collection agency! What the hell are they playing at? They still haven’t issued a POPLA code or a Rejection Letter of the parking charge appeal.

    This feels like grounds for a harassment case, as they are just ignoring any contact I try to make and refusing to engage with the original parking charge…

    Have you complained to the BPA?

    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. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    The BPA unfortunately don’t allow you to submit complaints without attaching the operator’s response. So I’ll need to in theory wait for the first complaint to reach 28 days and if they haven’t responded by then, the “response” can simply be the auto reply that says they’ll respond by then. Until then, I don’t think I can complain yet?

    Correct, just ignore the powerless debt collectors letters, irrespective of their origin

    Wait for the complaint response
