Hi all,
Apologies to dx100uk and ericsbrother for replying on an old thread.
my saga began late July 2016
In the post i received a letter from Debt Recovery Plus (DRP) indicating that i owe PPS money for a fine and that was the first I heard of this.
There was no "fine" stuck to the windscreen and no NTK apart from the letter from DRP.
From what I recall the letter was dated at least 30 days after the alleged incident had occurred.
There was no way from me to appeal the "fine" as the time had elapsed
i decided to call PPS to get more information.
Unfortunately, I did not record the conversation which I should have in hindsight.
The jist of the call was that when I asked for evidence,
they said they did not have any and
told me a story of how they got my details when I stated that no letter was received about the alleged incident.
The story goes that they contacted DVLA to get the registered keepers details
, then wrote to the registered keeper who lived somewhere in Hounslow (not me) and who provided them with my details.
Now this obliviously sounds rather fishy seeing the car had been registered under my name for well over three years.
After researching this online from various other forums and receiving two letters from DRP and another from another company, I decided to ignore them.
Now last week I received a letter from Gladstone Solicitors telling me to pay £160 to DRP otherwise they may start legal action and given me 14 days to pay them back.
My question is what shall I do in the meanwhile?
I have emailed Gladstone, DRP and PPS asking for when and the incidence took place and asking them about the evidence in an email.
Is it working sending a letter to all three?
The incident happened in South Harrow, Middlesex.
Normally, I am careful where I park and am 100% where I parked there was no sign to indicate that it is a private property.
I park on a side road, where you are allowed to park which leads to the private parking.
