DRP can not commence any sort of legal action and can be ignored.

There are lots of examples of their letters on this forum.

Please post the PCN here.

I was sent a PCN for my vehicle not paying the Heathrow T5 drop off zone in mid November 2025. I copied the text of how to reply from this forum, as expected I got the letter asking for the drivers details, which I did not reply to. I then recieved a reminder letter in mid March which I did not reply to. I have now recieved a letter from Debt Recovery Plus saying unless I pay up they will commence legal action. I hadnt read of anyone else getting this letter on the forum, does anyone know how I should proceed.

Note: The reminder letter in mid March says "As we have not recieved a payment or an appeal this PCN is still outstanding" I did appeal using the standard wording from this site.

Thanks in advance.
