General question on PPCs and court

[curtis33]

I have received a private parking invoice.

 

I see the general advice is to get landowner to cancel, then appeal, then appeal again to POPLA if offered, then ignore any further debt collection attempts unless taken to court. I understand the chance of being taken to court is very low and also depends on which PPC.

 

I will try to do the standard appeals etc. but was thinking about what would happen if I get to the debt collector stage. I believe I would need to check my mail for 6 years in order to make sure that I am not being taken to court.

 

My problem is that I only spend a few months per year in the UK, and also I am going to move house in the UK shortly. So one day in the future when I return to the UK I may find that I have a CCJ against me because court action was commenced and sent to my old address and I wasn't around to dispute it.

 

I completely agree that PPCs are [problem]mers and fraudsters and if I was going to be in this country 90% of the time for the next 6 years I would happily ignore everything and defend myself in court if it came to that. On the other hand, £100 is spare change to me. I realise this is just playing into the hands of the PPCs but I think if my POPLA appeal is rejected then I may just pay up, because it doesn't really make any difference to me personally.

 

Effectively, it seems like paying a beggar just to make him go away.

 

I was wondering if there is anything I am missing and would appreciate any opinions on the above.

We need all the details about the parking charge notice before we can give you specific advice on your appeal.

 

Who is the PPC?

 

Is the invoice a NTD or NTK?
