*Bump*After months of nothing, I got another debt collection letter in the post this week.This time it's from a different debt collection agency, called Trace.It looks very much like the previous ones I posted months ago. It is simply a debt recovery letter for £170 and has nothing legal on it.There are no words like "Letter of Claim" or anything like that. It's just asking for payment.Am I right in continuing to do nothing?

Got another one of these. They still aren't getting as far as a Letter of Claim.They seem to be just repeating themselves. Possibly in the hope that I will get scared?https://ibb.co/PG7N5mkc

I got another one of these today.They still seem to be sending me debt recovery letters and there's been no Letter of Claim yet.https://ibb.co/twVb5Thg

I've had another letter. It looks more or less to be the same as last time, except the wording is more hurried.Still no Letter of Claim, though. I will wait for one of those.

Thanks for both replies. Makes sense. I will wait for further correspondence.

Bump.I got another letter relating to this, today. I've uploaded two files. One is similar to the previous debt recovery letter, but a bit more stern. The other is something they are calling a "terminal notice". This is not the same as a Letter of Claim, is it? I still haven't replied to any of their letters. Should I carry on not replying until I get a Letter of Claim? Cheers. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Ah, right. If I post any more documents I will timings in but, like you say, I'll just leave it for now. That bit you quoted is a great example of how this business seems to operate on an flagrantly unfair basis, yep.

Thank you. I also noted that there is only one time one the PCN (which I have blanked out). If they had included an entry time and an exit time then the driver is of the opinion that entry/exit time would be exactly the same. I will wait out for the Letter of Claim and not reply to them, as you say. When I get some more info I will post back here. Thanks again.

Hi. This was recieved today, following two initial PCN's.I've included all three. I am the registered keeper. I have been informed that the driver simply turned around and did a 180 in the car park, so they were barely even stationary for more than maybe 5 seconds before exiting. The driver thinks that it was also dark as was some time after 9pm. The pictures which I blanked out certainly look like the driver is right in it being dark. They are barely legible. The car park is more like a piece of wasteground than anywhere a driver might have liked to park a car. This seems really scammy and I don't want to pay it. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
