Hello,

Just to update on this, my friend sent Vars a piece of junk mail with his USA address on, he received an email response despite advising them to respond through mail only with them closing the claim.

Thanks for the assistance in this and maybe the closure helps someone.

I'm reading through a few of these cases to see how they progress and had  question about this:

(b) You pay £60 to me within 14 days of service of the N279, by bank transfer to: [details], ref: [case ref].

Is it safe to give a legal firm representing a debt collection firm your bank details? I remember Jeremy Clarkson published his a good few years ago and involuntarly made a contribution to charity.

Thanks for that, i've been reading through some of the threads on here to try and get an understanding of the process these cowboys undertake.

Enterprise provided his details to VARS technology but forwarded the NtK to his email. Vars have sent a letter to his mothers house, i'll ask for a copy but I don't believe Enterprise have paid the 'charge' due to the letters being sent.

I question whether if he had given a hotel address to Enterprise as most visitors who hire cars from them do, then they would just respond 'not known at this address' and the charge would go away I assume, as you said they don't have his USA address.

If they follow the process that has been detailed above (debt enforcemnt / LBC), at what point should his mother respond saying he doesn't live there?

"If he receives a notice to hirer in his own name, he can then respond to that if he wants. Come back here with a copy of such a notice if you want."


So if he doesn't receive such a notice at his USA address then he can safley ignore? Would an email count?

Hello,

PCN: https://ibb.co/vxB4NhxQ

A friend was visiting from Florida and rented a car from Enterprise who required he give them a local address, so used his mother's. We met at a Starbucks at on the site of an EC garages fuel station (the site has a starbucks and burger king outlets seperate from the garage). As we haven't seen each other for a while we chatted for a good few hours, basically until the store started closing.

He has gone back to Florida now but received an email from enterprise with a PCN scanned in, obviously they have named him as the renter but as he is in the states they probably wouldn't post it out to him. He called me today saying his mother had a letter for him which was probably been delivered within the time frame (his mother is elderly and not in the best of health) and when she opened it, it was the PCN.

Now if he had stayed in a hotel, this wouldn't be an issue however he is worried that if it goes to court and he won't be there and bayliffs turn up etc.

I don't have a picture of the signage but I've said i'd go and obtain it for him as we have met there quite a few times but the restrictions must have been a fairly recent addition.

I believe i've followed the guide but if there is anything else to add, please let me know.


Edit: He thought this was a scam at first as this sort of thing doesn't happen in the states so he followed the link in the notice: https://ibb.co/vxB4NhxQ
