Hi guys, GOOD NEWS....I have just received a letter from CCS this morning telling me to ignore their previous correspondence as the debt referred to has been cancelled and returned to UKPC. They also go on to apologise for any distress that may have been caused. Thank goodness I hadn't yet sent that cheque that I wrote yesterday.... Aye right!! I'm sure you can all expect similar.

Hi guys, I got one of these from UKPC for allegedly parking in contravention of their regulations in Faraday retail park in SEPTEMBER 2007. After corresponding with them and then Hunter Forrest, their henchmen, over a couple of months I eventually got the financial services ombudsman involved and all correspondence stopped. So I was also surprised to receive a formal notice letter from CCS Enforcement Services Ltd. yesterday requesting payment by close of business on 11.02.10. Mine however is only for £105.24!! anybody want a bargain ha ha. Anyway I know that these companies sell each other "bad debt" for a nominal sum so I can only guess that CCS have bought the "bad debtors" from Hunter Forrest and are having a go.

My car was ticketed in Faraday retail park Coatbridge at the end of September by UKPC. I made enquiries with Tesco who operate at that location and was informed that the car park is owned and operated by Legal & General. I have followed the advice given on this site and am now in the hands of UKPCs contract killers, Hunter Forrest & Co. who are threatening me with a CCJ (in Scotland ?!!!). I called the financial services ombudsman to make a complaint and learned that although Hunter Forrest are not members of the FSA, their parent company, CCS Enforcements are. The outcome is that the FSO have contacted them giving them 8 weeks to respond to my complaint. I have to say it is now over 3 weeks since I contacted the FSO and I have heard nothing from Hunter Forrest. I don't know if this is due to the festive season or that they have now given up, we'll just have to wait and see but it may be a worthwhile route for anyone who is in the same position.

Hi, My car was issued with a parking charge at the end of September at faraday retail park in Coatbridge, Scotland by UKPC. I have followed the advice posted and told UKPC that I was disputing the charge and to redirect correspondence to the driver . Their "appeals manager" replied with exactly the same letter as posted by digger42 on 23rd. November. Despite the fact that I wrote to UKPC 3 times disputing the charge they have passed the details to their henchmen, Hunter Forrest & Co, who are now chasing me. I have written to H.F. & Co. and spoken to their bored staff twice by phone and explained my position with UKPC. On each occasion they have said that they would refer the matter back to UKPC but today I received a letter from them warning me that if I didn't pay they would be advising UKPC to commence County Court proceedings and warning me of the consequences of incurring a CCJ. Now, I find this part amusing as County Court proceedings only refer to England and Wales and not Scotland !! Anyway, I called the Fincancial Services Ombudsman helpline (08450801800) today. The person I spoke to informed me that H.F. & Co. are part of a group who are regulated by the FSA. and that they will write to them on my behalf outlining the fact that I am disputng the debt and asking them to outline their reasons as to why they are pursuing me. It will be interesting to see where the matter goes from here and I will keep you posted.
