Free Traffic Legal Advice

You should show us at least one of the original Notice to Keeper (NtK) you received. Do not redact any dates or times.

Never, EVER just phone these firms. You have zero evidence of anything that was said. It’s as worthless as the paper it is not written on.

The excuse that nothing can be done because it has gone to a powerless third party debt collector is utter rubbish. That is just a fob off.

Whose excuse was that? If it was your employer, then ask them who is the Monkey and who is the Organ Grinder in their contractual relationship with UKPC?

How has QDR communicated with you? Have you received a postal letter or an email? If you’ve only ever received text messages, do not respond to them from now on.

You are going to have to fight this all the way to court if your employer does not do the right thing and get UKPC to cancel the PCNs.

Have you received an actual Letter of Claim (LoC) from QDR or are they simply acting as a glorified debt collector at this stage? QDR are vexatious little sh!ts but don’t usually act for UKPC.

A debt collector (including QDR when they are acting in ‘debt collection’ mode) Is powerless to do anything except to try and intimidate the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree into paying out of ignorance and fear. So, engaging with QDR, if they have not issued an LoC, is a complete waste of time.

It is too late to appeal but that does not prevent you from making a formal complaint to UKPC. However, until I understand this situation a bit better, I would hold off on that.

Normally, UKPC will use DCB Legal to issue their claims and, as long as they are defended with the template defence we provide, they end up being discontinued. We will have to wait and see if they use QDR this time.

Are you a union member? Just in case you need to use any legal services, you could use their resources. However, in almost every case of defending a DCB Legal issued claim, there is no need for any professional legal advice.

For now, please show us at least one of the NtKs you received and explain exactly what you have discussed with your employer and the powerless QDR.

Hi, thanks for getting back. I believe the letter from the text message I received was neither a LoC nor CCJ.

I did not admit any liability or provide any additional details on the phone, I've only asked if they indeed held a file on my name and provided the post code to obtain the exact time and location of the PCNs. And when I found out it was from my workplace I simply told them I believe the vehicle should have a permit to park in the location and ended the conversation.

As for my employer it was an informal respond from a colleague, but the person did mention to send a formal email along with the letters to relevant department and confirmed the vehicle is now added on the whitelist.

Also not sure if its of any help but a colleague of mine once received multiple PCNs for same reason and managed to get all of them waived without any issue, but I believe they were directly issued by UKPC.

The letters I have received through the link on text message are all in the following format:

QDR Reference: /
Vehicle Registration Mark: /
Parking Event: PARKED FOR LONGER THAN PERMITTED
Car Park Operator: UK PARKING CONTROL LIMITED
Outstanding Balance: Ł170.00


We have been instructed by ZZPS Limited (“our Client”) who act on behalf of UK PARKING CONTROL LIMITED.
We are advised that several attempts have been made to resolve this matter with you including notices or letters sent directly to you inviting you to engage with our client. These attempts have been unsuccessful and without the appropriate resolution the balance remains unpaid. Consequently, you are now required to make payment in full within the next 14 days.

You are advised failure to make payment in full within 14 days of the date of this letter, will result in a review of your account which we anticipate will result in an instruction to issue County Court Proceedings against you. If such a step is necessary, we will ask the Court to order that you pay our client’s legal costs. These costs can be avoided if you engage properly with this matter now.
If a County Court Judgment (“CCJ”) is obtained against you, its details will be entered on the Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines and will remain on the Register for 6 years. Please note this may impact on your ability to obtain future credit as this information is available to lenders and finance companies. If a CCJ is obtained against you and you do not pay it, we may commence enforcement action to recover the CCJ amount plus any costs incurred, via one of the following methods:

• Issuing an Attachment of Earnings application. If this order is granted it instructs your employer to deduct money from your wages to pay back your debt.
• Issuing a Warrant of Control application. If this order is granted the court permits the use of Bailiffs in the recovery of the total debt outstanding plus costs.
You can pay online at myaccount.qdrsolicitors.com or contact us on 01926 758011 to discuss repayment and avoid the need for any further action.
Our offices are open between the hours of 9:00am and 6:00pm Monday to Thursday and 9:00am and 5:30pm on a Friday.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely
