Free Traffic Legal Advice

Laughable, really.
The driver didn’t remain long enough to enter into a contract, which would have required examination of the terms and conditions on the signs, and the PCN does not comply with the requirements of PoFA 2012 to transfer “liability” to the registered keeper anyway - no period of parking specified to name but one failure.
Too late to appeal now, so you just need to ignore all the debt collector rubbish and wait for a Letter of Claim in due course, and then come back here for advice. It’s quite possible it will come from “Moorside Legal”.
Just don’t identify the driver, as you haven’t done.

Note that they’re not pretending their PCN meets the requirements of PoFA 2012 anyway.

I wonder what percentage of their victims just pay up on receipt of this unenforceable nonsense?

Obscuring times is generally unhelpful here and https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/read-this-first-private-parking-charges-forum-guide/ specifically asks that you don’t, however in this case it doesn’t matter because the PCN is so bad.

“This incident happened in the period of time immediately preceding ….” is not a “period of time” as required by PoFA if they were using its provisions.

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.

An LoC will tell you that it is a letter of claim or before claim r something on the lines. It will NOT be for the useless DRP as they are not a party to the contract allegedly breached by the driver.

A real LoC will come from wither the operator themselves arm, more likely, from a bulk litigator such as DCB Legal, BW Legal, Moorfields, Gladstones, et al. You will know it is a real LoC because they are obliged to give you 30 days to pay, not the usual 14 days that the bottom0dwelling debt collectors give.

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.

They like their red ink, don’t they?

Hehe. Yeah. The red capital letters on "IMMINENT" made me chuckle when I saw it. I think it was because they're pulling out all the stops to try and make the recipient worry.

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?
