    just calm the !!!! down
    You just saved me typing that out!
    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.

    SUPREME COURT!!!!!

    There did that make you feel sick?

    No of course it didn't and neither should letters from Muppets like Debt Recovery Plus, or the other desk in their office Zenith that can't do anything but send silly letters.

    But you would have known this had you read the newbies start here thread.

    In theory, they have 5 years (in Scotland) to pursue you through the courts.

    In practice.... ain't gonna happen.

    Did anything else ever come from this after them sending letters about court etc?

    I received a parking charge from Britania parking which was then passed onto DRP, i have ignored every letter because thats what i have been advised to do but the letter i received today says they will send it back to their client and “recommend” they take me to court! Do i just ignore this like the other letters?

    Im worried!


    Thanks :)

    Keep ignoring.

    If you have ignored everything up to now they still haven't a clue as to who the driver was - only the registered keeper.

    AFAIK up till now no keeper in Scotland has been taken to court for a private parking invoice - where the driver was unknown..

    This is pretty much the last letter you'll receive as they are on the verge of giving up on you.

    Do NOT reply to anything except a genuine court summons.

    In the odd chance (pigs will fly) that they do try to serve genuine court papers on you the keeper, come back here and there will be plenty people able to give advice as to how to make them look very stupid indeed.

    Why be worried with imbeciles like DRP floating around.
    These dreamers are just kids trying to act in an adult world IGNORE

    Of course they will send it back to the PPC .... DRP FAILED

    This is standard DRP rubbish .... "recommend they will take you to court" ???? powerless dreamers still living in the clouds

    And that should be the last letter from DRP ... because they are powerless to do anything
