EPM Ltd Windscreen PCN 4yrs old - now Received a letter from ZZPS

[Flatlining]

Contravention date was the 12/3/2014 and I can barely remember at chichester college West Sussex

 

, I’ve received a letter from zzps on behalf of Ethical parking management stating “notice of intended legal collections £150 debt unpaid” and they have given me 14 days.

 

Contravention details:

vehicle not parked in designated area.

 

All I have is this letter,

I was most likely issued a ticket at the time but I do not have it now and I have no other correspondence other than this.

 

Am I really going to have to pay this?

 

All tho blood out of a stone comes to mind.

 

Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you.

Why have you not received anything from the PPC?

Have you recently moved and not told the DVLA via V5C refurn?

They won't be too pleased about that and could result in a real fine

Rather than this speculative parking invoice

Please complete the above

I have very little info in front of me, I couldn’t even tell you if it was a penalty charge or parking charge as it is not written on the letter. The dvla has always been up to date but I last moved about five years ago.

 

I do know that this charge has bounced around to a few different DCA’s but I haven’t recieved any mail at all.

Would this most likely be a parking charge? If I can answer that then can try and do the rest.

Most probably is a PCN...this crew seem to mainly deal with this only.

Why not give them a ring and get further details ?

I’m concerned about acknowledging the letter or them to be honest, at this stage anyway.

Well they have wrote to you at your current address s they know where you are...ringing to enquire is not an acknowledgement...but it will give you the necessary information to determine your next move

Well you have ro do something

 

Its a speculative invoice

Powerless dcas dont chase fines

 

So youve had no ntk or anything else prior to this fleecers letter?

Bearing in mind it was 4 years ago so to the best of my knowledge all I have had is the ticket on the car. I called way back then to the EPM Ltd and I believe I gave an appeal which they apparently don’t have or ever recieved. But I haven’t heard anything on this since days after the ticket was issued and until now thought it was sorted and history.

ah so you did get something then.

not really worth bothering with now then really

its only a dca they are powerless anyway and are not bailiffs..

 

if you really want to do something simply write giving your new current address

end of the matter

and squarely nails them down as they now have the correct address so no backdoor CCJ worry.

DX, not sure why you are suggesting that the OP write giving their NEW address!

 

The so called contravention was 2014, the OP has said that they moved 5 years ago ie 2013 and DVLA records have been kept up to date.

 

In addition, the chancers have written to them at their current address.

 

Toothless debt collector using big words like 'intended legal collection' to scare the recipient.

 

IGNORE all correspondence from them other than actual letter before claim or court papers (which is most unlikely to happen) but keep letters safe. Do NOT contact them by email otherwise you will be giving them a free means of harrassing you. Sleep well.

If this letter went to an old address they will use that to try and gain a CCJ by default, knowing you wont be able to respond to it in time. They do this on purpose. You WRITE to Ethicasl Parking and tell them you deny any monies are owed and your current address should be used for any further correspondenec or legal papers. Tell them that any claim will be vigourously defended and a full costs recovery order sought should they try their luck
