Hi,

This was a surprise that ZZPS is still chasing 3 and half-year-old contravention. Please advise on this situation.

Many thanks

How about providing a bit more background if you want some advice?

In the meantime you may want to consider these points:

1. ZZPS (debt collectors) are a third party to any alleged debt you owe ECP and therefore cannot do anything except try to scare you into paying the, by now, exaggerated charge. They will use scary words like "CCJ" and "bailiffs" in the hope that you are low hanging fruit on the gullible tree and their scare tactics will cause you capitulate and pay into the scam.

2. Ignore and never communicate with debt collectors. They are powerless.

3. ECP can take you to court any time up to 6 years after the alleged contravention. They can still "chase" until hell freezes over. They just can't take you to court after 6 years.

So, until you provide us with more detailed information, preferably with evidence of the NtK (both sides) and anything you have said or corresponded with them, there is little else we can do.

You'll need to give us rather more information on the situation for us to be able to advise...

Read this thread: READ THIS FIRST - Private Parking Charges Forum guide, and provide us as much of the information requested as you are able to.

It is pointless directing us to an old thread where the most important image of the original NtK is missing. You made a poor POPLA appeal and were unsuccessful. You are now in limbo waiting to see if ECP bother to escalate this into a court claim. It is rare for ECP to continue all the way to a court action.

You should know by now that you can ignore all debt collection letters. The only thing you can do for now is wait and see if ECP issue a Letter of Claim. If they ever do, come back for further advice.

If you move address within 6 years of the alleged contravention, make sure you instruct the DPO of ECP to rectify their records with your new address and to erase your old one.

Hello again,

Received Notice to transfer to solicitors by GCTT. Little confused as initially it was ZZPS and not GCTT enforcement agents?

Keep waiting for a Letter Before Claim.

It's just more debt collector rubbish. use it to line the bottom of a hamster cage.

A letter of claim must state so (or Letter before action or before claim etc>) and must give 30 days to respond and must also include a bunch of forms (that you do NOT fill in). When you get one of those, come back.

That letter is complete BS but designed to scare, no material transfer has happened, ECP still own the debt and are just asking another debt collector to write you scary letters in the hope you are naive enough to fall for it and pay up.
There are motorists who have been scammed and those who are yet to be scammed!
