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?

Evening.

Thank you for your timely response.

I have just returned from work and received another letter from the debt collector for a different date: 04/07/2024. At the same time, the original post was about 02/07/2024.

Overall, I 'owe' £340 :'(

If a staff member is in the hotel tomorrow, I will ask who owns the car park.

So, when I moved into the hotel, I had to fill out this form, and my registration number was one of them.

I understand there's an iPad at the front of the hotel where you place your number plate again, which supposedly permits your car.

I'm 95% sure I changed my address from the old address to the new one (not the hotel) before I moved into the hotel. I remember searching for the v5c (because I had my paperwork in storage), but the problem is I'm not sure if that was to renew my tax or to change my address. I remember needing a code of some sort, maybe an extended code.


I will send an email to them tomorrow. I have to admit that this is becoming worrying. I fear now that I have two debt letters for two separate dates and that more will come.

I forgot to mention that when I declared myself homeless, the council stated they have a 56-day duty of care (which I have proof of); I typed in 56 days for the parking so it would cover it as a precaution. Since receiving the first one, I have put 900 days into the iPad.

Thank you for the code of practice!

Private parking tickets / Private PCN - Debt Collection

Two days ago, I received a letter for debt collection. I'm currently living in a homeless shelter in England. The company that owns the hotel car park is Civil Enforcement Ltd. A permit is needed which is digitalised.
 called the phone number on the debt collection letter, and they stated I would have received two letters before the debt collection letter. However, I received no letters. They claimed it was because I didn't change my address on my V5C, which I know I did.
 I can't appeal it because it's been 28 days since I didn't receive these phone. two letters before the debt one, as the man said on the phone. The man on the phone said TT have to pay no matter what.
 1.I don't have the money since the charge is £170. 2. 1 had a permit when they said I didn't. 3. There's no physical permit to put on the windscreen
 4.1.I changed the address on my driver's license in March, and the website states, "In circumstances where we have not received any response from you to our PCN or debt recovery correspondence and in line with the latest BPA Code of Practice, we will undertake a soft trace to confirm that you are st.ill at the address provided to us by the DVLA before we issue a county court claim against you This became a requirement in January 2020 so if your PCN and subsequent claim was issued before then, we would have used your last known address, that is the address provided to us by the DVLA as the address for service of documents and the formal claim.
 4.2 The Contravention happened on 2nd July. Where are the letters about the Contravention for 1st July or 3rd July? They claim to use CCTV and ANPR cameras
 4.3 These two letters supposedly went to the wrong address, BUT the debt collection letter went to the correct one; how does this work? 5. The hotel gained my reg plate when I moved in
