Old UKPC PCN

[FootballPlayer]

Hi

In early 2014(march-april) I received a pcn from ukpc for parking on private land.

 

Firstly,

1) I wasnt the driver at the time(car was on my name)

2) i sold that car in November 2014

 

Since then after alot of gaps ukpc have been sending me letters.

 

With the latest one 2 months ago i think from a debt collection agency.

 

My point is i never ever replied to any letters and didn't pay the fine.

 

Now i am worried though as i read they can order a ccj against me and I don't want that happening as it will ruin my credit.

 

I am quite sure I haven't received any court orders etc

but my worry is i just used to rip any letters from ukpc without reading

so i am getting paranoid that i mightve missed a ccj letter.

 

My question is

1) should i worry about this fine

2) as i sold the car and wasnt the driver at that time anyway will this ticket be still valid?

3) should i contact ukpc and just pay them what they want to get this matter resolved?

 

Can anyone shed some light please as I don't want a ccj against me...

Thanks.

it is not a fine

 

as it is that old

 

all they are doing is prob willy waving because parking eye have had a recent ruling

that appears to make court claims winnable for them...

 

in all truth it DOES NOT>

as this is from early 2014

 

pretty safe to ignore them unless you get a claimform

going by other like threads

I shouldn't bother with contacting them right? I was just getting paranoid cos i will be applying for a mortgage very soon with a perfect credit rating. I don't want a ccj to be registered just because of a parking ticket. Please help

Hello there.

 

They can't just get a CCJ against you. They'd have to go to court, which they don't do often, then win and even then you'd have to not pay up before they could look at getting a CCJ.

 

If you're looking at debt collectors, this is usually the desperation stage before they give up chasing.

 

I expect other forum members will be along over the course of the day to reassure you.

How do you know you have a perfect credit rating?

How do you know you have a perfect credit rating?

. Not perfect but near perfect. I worked very hard for this. Going to be applying for a mortgage soon Edited December 17, 2015 by FootballPlayer

On experian it is 901. Not perfect but near perfect. I worked very hard for this. Going to be applying for a mortgage soon

 

So it doesn't show a CCJ then....

 

You need to open and read the letters you receive really, as then you know what or who you are dealing with.

 

Debt collection agencies have no power to do anything regarding private parking invoices so you can ignore them.

Hi and welcome to CAG.

 

UKPC are chasing old PCN's due to their being unable to access the DVLA database because they acted fast and loose with doctored photographs and the BPA gave them 8 sanction points (12 points equals a kicking out)

 

They are likely to rely on the recent Beavis case but that case was based on few points that would relate to you.

 

IF they took court action and won the case (unlikely with a good defence) you still have 28 days after the ruling to stop the CCJ appearing on your credit file

[armadillo71]

@ silverfox - for information purposes, the DVLA are now selling our personal details to UKPC again;

Bugger! About time they were removed permanently. Sorry for the misinformation.

This parking ticket is pretty old. Was given in early 2014. Next year it's going to be 2 years. I was wondering will that play an important role in ukpc forgetting about it. Plus i sold the car too. They seem to post letters after a healthy gap like one after every 4-5 months.

 

What are the chances they will escalate it to the court for a ccj? Has that happened before in the past?

 

Please help

[silverfox1961]

UKPC do take court action but it is so rare that it is almost negligible

 

Of the 100K plus details requested from the DVLA this website shows only 77 claims this year

they cannot escalate it to court for a ccj, even the court cannot do that.

 

 

It is a common misconception regarding how debts are accrued, notified and collected in this country.

 

 

IF the company wants to use the courts to enfoce payment of a debt it has to do a lot of things first and these cannot be done in secret.

 

 

the thing you need to worry about is UKPC issuing a claim against you via the county court.

This arrives in a big brown envelope and contains 2 sets of documents,

the first telling you who is suing you and why and the secons for you to respond to that claim.

If you respond a load more hoops have to be jumped thyrough before they get a day out in court

and then you have to lose your defence of the claim and then ignore the deadline for paying them the money.

When you ahve done that they need to go back to court to have the order enforced and then it shows as a CCJ.

 

As for selling teh car etc, makes no difference to their claim.

It is more likely that the procedures they are supposed to follw havent been adhered to s

o they will lose any court battle.

 

 

Not having a reaqson for suing does tend to slow some of these claims down

[FootballPlayer]

Thanks for the advice.

 

 

Should i bother contacting them or not?

[ericsbrother]

never.

[dx100uk]

where?

clam down its easy countered

[FootballPlayer]

It is a judgement for claimant form. It says i need to pay £300 within 1 month otherwise a ccj will be registered

[FootballPlayer]

It mentions £275 with interest plus £25 for costs needs to be paid

[armadillo71]

Unless we can see what you have received, then we can't advise...

[dx100uk]

forthwith judgement for £300

04/2/2016 by the looks of it.

 

 

so you must have ignored a court claimform?

Ok my dad's a step ahead of me. He has already filed for the judgement to be set aside as never received any defence or any claimants form. I live away for work. And just come home every weekend
