Latest letter - posting so others might see. Now we have a debt recovery agency wasting their own time Not a letter of claim or a Solicitor letter so will be ignoring Trace Debt Recovery Demand.pdf

That`s quality - thought about posting a link to this thread on there, but decided against it. Hope people take note and seek advice before engaging with these jokers.

Quick update, owner received this today - told them it safe to ignore Let me know if I`m wrong. 2023-06-01 GXS Final Reminder.pdf

*The sign is complete rubbish too* Had a feeling that might be the case Couple of reviews on google saying they had popped in when office was closed, to post thing through the door or check opening times, and have received invoices. Hopefully they`ve not paid them! Cheers again, will keep updating with any additional correspondence I get.

In case its of interest, thought I'd post up a pic of the signs they have dotted about. Image of the notices they have up on site. Sign.pdf

Thanks Dave, saw you had reached out on a few other threads for updates. Appreciate that! Such an evil thing they are doing at a time when most are struggling with the cost of living! I feel for the people in the local community, especially the elderly, who don`t know about such wonderful resources like this site and will pay up out of fear. Will be popping a donation over, thank you again all.

Thank you dx! Agree with your comments, going to take the time to continue the trend from the local community of leaving a google review to let them know how I feel. Will park this for now (oh yes, that was a pun) . Will touch base if there is any follow up. Thank you Dave, DX, and Homer for your advice and willingness to help others in these matters! It is very much appreciated! KR Chipz

Thanks Dave and DX, I appreciate the questions and support as it`s really helping me here! I`ve reuploaded the NTK as seem like I was a bit over cautious in not incriminating myself. dx, you are right, the 4th picture is of me parked. Pic order - reg, exit, entry, parked NTK.pdf

That sounds promising Dave! It`s still amusing to have you call it buy its actual name 17:32 in the Time of contravention box and I can read on the photos 17:32:52 and 17:26:25 so twice as long as I originally stated.

Invoice - What`s the max for a consideration period? DX, thank you for posting up that news link - certainly echo`s my feelings, feels like we have a cancer in the community now. I`m unsure on ANPR and CCTV as my tech knowledge says you use ANPR on CCTV. Attached the NTK, with personal bits blocked out. NTK (1).pdf

Thank Homer - They do have a pretty clear picture of the driver's face driving in. Just had a dig around the forum. Looks like do nothing till Letter of Claim comes in.

IAS There are two official bodies, the BPA and the IAS. If you are unsure, please check HERE If you have received any other correspondence, please mention it here None. Hi all, the driver used this carpark next to a local shop when popping in on a Sunday, didn`t notice the signs, though they are quite clearly there though. Is there anything that can be done here? They were there for all of 3 minutes. The company for this car park is closed over the weekends, so they've not inconvenienced anyone with their parking. Will get the PDF scanned up, this afternoon. Cheers all Chipz

Oh yes, sorry, it is the council responsible for that section of the road I am talking about. It is the councils procedure I have been following for reporting the incident and the pothole which was via an online portal.

Anyone?

Hopefully a quick one this. Put my claim in and after 6 months of waiting they have turned it down (under section 58 defense), which I understand from searching and reading on here is quite standard. I intend to appeal and follow up with small claims court if needed. My initial thoughts are to use some info provided in the rejection letter. These details are: Incident occurred 30th May. Last inspection carried out n the 6th May - no new actionable defects were present (I`ve no issues with that). (However this line I hope is a slam dunk for me) This is due to the defect having been picked up for repair on January the 12th.... Any advice on how to proceed? Best tactics, pitfalls to avoid, and, any other useful bits of information would be great. It really was a massive pothole, I have photos and everything. It`s on a main road, right next to a police station, so how the hell it wasn`t even marked up I have no idea.

Reply received! Basically saying everything is on hold whilst they speak to the client Lets see if this goes anywhere from here

Hi @rgaine I don`t think bankruptcy will help you. Well it may stop these types chasing you for money but won`t help you with anything else. . Personally it's just something i`m willing to accept for the next 20 years, that every now and again, a company like this will see if they can trick me into paying. Only way to get rid is to actually pay it but where is the fun in that I`m sure you have had a click around but if not is a great thread and you will find a link in there (post #10) from @dx100uk with a link to the instructions for your reply (go down to post #5), which should be easy enough to follow. Basically you CANT ignore the PAP or that get an easy win Hope that helps, if not, im sure others will be along soon and point you in the right direction Peace

Hey guys Anyone able to give me a reason for disputing the debt? Just filling out my reply form and not quite sure what to put and I`m guessing because 'I don`t want to pay it nur nur nur' wont cut it

Now see if I was in your position I would be posting to tell everyone which company I used to represent me and letting everyone know to avoid them.... i would also also be keeping to my own thread and not trying to convince everyone that your case is the norm when the evidence shows you are in the .01% of cases.... As for the 50% - Moriarty just informed me it would be an extra 700 quid if it goes to court - that’s not even 10% - not like these things are drawn out cases.... Apologies to the OP, your post, has been royally hijacked and I hate to keep adding to this derailment but it’s hard not too

Personally - if find that a contender for the joke of the year. Hornsey..You should have told it at the Edinburgh Fringe dude you would have been famous!

@Hornsey62 looked at it skip - looks like you messed up because you think you knew better. Everyone else seems to be doing just fine - just you and @Squaddy hanging around to let everyone know they are doomed Honestly if you had put as much effort in to your defence as you have to letting everyone know you lost, you probably would have won

Haha I call bs You can post what you like - only thing you will do is give these vultures a heads up to your defence strat and more time to prepare (if they even show up). Only time you can’t post to social media (guessing this would be considered that) is during a criminal case. Afte a verdict you would be free to express your opinion. Not sure debt recovery constitutes that as you have no jury to persuade with your posts only thing you could do is give the defence ammo Now me thinking this is all common sense and it being true are different things, I’m not a trained professional, but it seems from my digging on the site we have some people spreading rumour, fear and information, that could prevent others from getting the good advice they need from CAG

@dx100uk roger wilco skip

Hey @uaenomore, Im doing exactly the same atm, so thanks for this list, if confirmed correct I will follow it. One thing I seem to remember reading is to not sign it but print your name instead, something about less reputable companies lifting your sig Also interested in if @dx100uk has a stock response that will be ready in time for me (I have to reply by Tuesday as sat on it for far to long!) Best of luck

Cheers @WE1506 will give that a read in the morn and come back with questions
