Free Traffic Legal Advice

Well, if I do not appeal to IAS, what else can I do?

CPM declined my appeal and said the PCN stands...

You can give the IAS a shot but I can't be bothered wasting my time on putting one together for you. Maybe someone else can give you a suggestion.

My advice is wait nd see if/when they issue a Letter of Claim (LoC) followed by an actual claim issued through the CNBC.

Hello again,

Update - I have now received a Debt Recovery notice (attached).

Horrible to receive this, as I know the car was outside the permit area. But they don't even give a change to refute...

Should I now wait for what comes next? Or is there something I can do now?

Thank you!

Ignore Debt Recovery Plus - they're not interested in any conversation that doesn't involve payment. File and ignore. You're waiting for a Letter of Claim, or a Claim Form from the county court.

Hello,

I received another Debt recovery, but nothing else.

In the meantime, I moved house in March. I have updated my new address on my car registry. However, I'm concerned that, if it goes to court, they will send letter to my old address and not my current. Does anyone know if they'll check for this?

Thank you!

No, they won’t necessarily check, not least because it can mean a default judgement in their favour at court followed by someone taking more effort to track you down at your new address and - hey presto - you have a problem.

You need to send a data rectification notice to CPM or whoever it was who first sent you a PCN.

instruct them to update their records with your correct address for service and to erase your old address. The words are there for a reason... use them.

Thank you for the clarification.

Anything specific I need to say? Or just "to advice that my address has changed"?

Regards

You MUST send a data rectification notice to the DPO of CPM which instructs them to update their records with your current address for service and to erase your old address. The highlighted words are there for a reason, so use them.

Their DPO can emailed at dpo@uk-cpm.com. Make sure you also CC yourself in that email.

Hello,

I got another letter, now from a legal company (instead of debt collectors).

They are still demanding payment (tried to attached the photo of the letter, but wasn't able to, sorry!).
They say I can pay, or contact to say reasons for no payment.
If no contact (or payment) is made, the next stage will be a Letter of Claim.

Should I reply?
I know I was right and that the PCN should not have been issued.
What is your advice?

They provided a phone number, webchat or a postal address for contact.

Thank you in advance

So, It is NOT an LoC and can therefore be shredded and used a hamster bedding for anyone cares.

Come back when they send you an actual LoC.

Hello again,

I have now received a LoC, dated on 23 Oct but only got it today.

Says I need to contact them before the 22 November 2025.


What is your advise?


Thank you in advance!!

ld be useful if you could either show us an image of the LoC or at least tell us which firm of bulk litigators has sent it.

Hi,

I tried to upload images before, but it doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something very basic?
The only image icon I see now asks for a URL?


The LoC is from BW Legal.

It says they can only help me prevent legal action if I contact them.
They list a phone number, a website (for payment and payment plans) and a Reply form (again for payments or advise on debt...).

The original PCN was last year.
The car was parked legally, on the free side of the street. I tried to upload google photos of the area that shows where my car was parked, and where the area the PCN refers to started in a previous post (thought the images where uploaded correctly, but now I see they were not).
After I submitted a claim on their website saying that the car was parked correctly, which was visible from the photos they took (the sign for the permit area was not visible where my car was of course, as it was parked meters before...), they said they "understood my view but the PCN stands".
After that, I received several debt collectors letters.
I changed addresses and was advise here (thank you ) to tell them about, which I did.

Now, the LoC arrived.

Really appreciate advise in how to respond.

If someone can tell me how to correctly upload images, I can share the letter and the area where the car was parked.

Thank you so much in advance!!
