Hello,
I am looking for some advice. QDR Solicitors have been trying to contact me regarding a parking violation from 2022 (in Italy, in case that’s relevant), however the letters (from them and the company before who attempted to recover the debt) have been going to the wrong flat. I only became aware of the letters as a neighbour opened a letter by mistake and passed it on.
The letter is now threatening County Court Proceedings against me should I not pay.
The debt has risen to just over £300 – a large portion of this I imagine is coming from additional charges from the companies who have attempted to recover the debt / interest / late payment charges, however as I have only now been made aware, this seems rather unfair.
From initial research it seems perhaps a “prove the debt” letter would be a good first course of action, to see what evidence there is – and whether the claim is valid (I cannot remember the incident whatsoever – although that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen!)
I would be really grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction, whether I should proceed with a “prove the debt” letter, or other course of action
Many thanks
Ian
