    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.
  • Yup - the same letter!


    So would you recommend asking the DVLA for a copy of their information request?

    Yes I would, make them work for their £2.50 if nothing else.

  • OK - first point of call will be to the DVLA then, there hasn't been any correspondence with / from the Parking Firm - apart from this NTK (5 months after ticket!) should I write to them aswell?


    The wording on the letter doesn't really give you anything?

    I wouldn't recommend engaging with Armtrac directly, they don't appear to have a clue what they are doing.

    While they are consistent in saying they will not cancel PCNs, they generally contradict themselves in statements, state false claims, ignore legal requirements, and make up new spellings for words.

    This is the company that stated they wouldn't listen to my appeal unless I paid their invoice.

    The fact I wasn't appealing but stating facts that they were unable to pursue it and more so, why would someone make payment and appeal, was lost on them.

    They cannot give just 14 days and threaten court 'without further notice' when it is a debt claim.

    They can't?

    They are so unprofessional, it wouldn't surprise me if they get this wrong too (the date on the letter was early February rather than March).

    Look up the pre-action protocol for Debt Claims.
