The link you provided does not take you to any Google Drive link, at least for me. It just takes me to an image that I hosted to you:



Your POPLA appeal is rubbish! You admitted to being the driver in your initial appeal so why do you think you can invoke PoFA to absolve you of any liability as the Keeper? The driver is ALWAYS liable. You shot yourself in the foot with your initial appeal.

All you can do now is wait for the POPLA rejection and the weather the useless debt recovery letters that will come your way and wait for it to blow over.

I'm aware. I only found about this forum, and other more effective appeal templates, after I'd already submitted that one.

So the question is, will this simply blow over? If it doesn't, how will I know when I need to take the letters etc seriously?

Based on prior experience, yes. Historically, we've never seen a single APCOA case go to court.

If it doesn't, how will I know when I need to take the letters etc seriously?
In the unlikely event APCOA suddenly change their approach, they (or a legal firm acting on their behalf), would send you a 'Letter of Claim'.

Any letters from debt collectors can be safely ignored.

Hi all. So I've now received a first letter from debt recovery plus. I've seen in a few threads (including this one), that apcoa don't do court. But is a letter of claim more likely in a case where they know for a fact who the driver was?

Thanks all

You can ignore the useless debt recovery letters. Debt collectors are powerless to do anything except to try and persuade the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree to pay up out of ignorance and fear. Never, ever enter into communication with a powerless debt collector. Shred their letters and use it a hamster bedding for all anyone cares.

If you receive a Letter of Claim (LoC), which is unlikely, then come back as we can deal with it.

Thanks - much appreciated. And again, just to confirm that all that applies even when they know who the driver was?

As far as I am aware, APCOA have never taken anyone to court over a single PCN. If they ever do, you will be the first and it can easily be dealt with.

Hi all.

So APCOA sent letters requesting payment for several months.

Ignored all of them and thought this had gone away.

Got a text from Moorside Debt recovery and have been told a letter is on the way.

What now?

TIA

Show them to us, per https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/read-this-first-private-parking-charges-forum-guide/

If you have received something from a debt collector, then it can be ignored. It sounds like you have. On the other hand, if you have received a Letter before Claim from Moorside Legal, it needs a reply. In either case, unless you show us what you have received we can’t advise further.

A “text”! Hardly a formal legal communication. Block the number to stop getting any more.

The advice that APCOA doesn’t “do” court still stands.

This is the letter I've received. I received this only after I called them after getting threatening emails about me not responding to the letter they sent out, which I never received.

Don’t call them again, don’t call anyone, everything should be in writing.
Debt collector = ignore.
