I am posting on behalf of a relative that has significant health issues.
He has received 2 letters/speculative invoices from Trace debt recovery on behalf of UKPS alleging that 2 separate “debts” exist for parking contraventions that occurred in Autumn 2019. The contraventions relate to a vehicle that is registered in his name but he has never been to the car park referenced in the Trace letter.
In addition, he has never seen any begging letters from the PPC requesting money.
Because of his medical conditions he is often in hospital for lengthy periods of time and he suspects that during one hospital admission his vehicle was “borrowed” by the son of his now ex-partner and any letters that did arrive were binned.
I have considered the responses and advice in these threads

a) Not to contact Trace
b) Sit tight until a Letter of Claim arrives from UKPS and then come here for advice
Given there are now just over 4 months until this matter “times out” in terms of the debt being pursuable is there anything he can do to draw the process out?
Is it likely a LoC will be issued or is this just a last attempt at frightening him into making payment?
Any advice welcome
Many thanks
