Private parking tickets / Re: Private PCN - Debt Collection
« on: September 15, 2024, 03:50:52 pm »Sorry to hear about your housing predicament. Regarding the ipad system, a pragmatic suggestion to reduce the chances of future tickets: ask the hotel how it works.
I'd be surprised if simply entering 900 days actually permits you to 900 days parking without having to re-enter your reg. If it did, anyone could wander in off the streets and get themselves 2+ years free parking.
I never thought about asking the hotel. I don't mean to sound racist or anything, but the hotel staff isn't English, and it can be difficult to understand one another. Nonetheless, I will ask the staff, see what they have to say, and hope for the best.
You first place your reg number into the iPad, and then it says how many days your stay is. After that, it says "The permit has been issued to 'said reg' " So you don't have to enter it again until it's time.
If the original Notices to Keeper (NtK) were sent to the previous address, which is probably why you never received them, do you still have access to that address or are you able to contact the people at that address to find out if they still have the letters (and any other post)?
Again, I didn't think of doing this until you mentioned it, so I did just that. I called my old neighbour to determine whether she had received my mail to pass on to me. She said no, but then she called me to tell me old and new mail was left on the letterbox (apartment style). I opened my letters to find out that I have two more PCN charges. Since looking at the letters, I have noticed the dates on them.
My original letter, which I created on this forum, is dated 04/09/2024 (the date the letter was made). Sent to the correct address, previous to the hotel. Debt Collector letter
Letter 2: letter created on 10/09/2024. Sent to the correct address, previous to the hotel. Debt Collector letter
I retrieved Letter 3 from the old address today. It is a PCN letter Issued on 09/09/2024 and sent to the wrong address.
Letter 4: Letter created on 06/09/2024. A final reminder about a different dated incident. Sent to the wrong address.
Please help me understand this. How do they have the correct address for the very first debt collector letter, 04/09/24, and then the other debt one, 10/09/24, but the other two of PCN are not the correct address? 04/09 was the first letter and the correct address.
Surely, this proves they had my correct address in the first place, but they keep sending stuff to the wrong address?
