Debt Recovery Plus/Initial Parking PCN received for £170.
Pavilion Square, Scarborough. Unpaid Tariff Time
DIR By: Fowler1981
Date: December 31, 2023, 8:19 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Appear have parked in a private carpark on what appears to be
the 23rd October (going by the Parking Charge Date on the Debt
Recovery Plus letter). She thinks she was there for less than 30
minutes.
The first letter she received from Debt Recovery Plus is dated
27th November. She messaged them on their online portal on the
4th December and has received no reply. She then got a second
letter from them dated 18th December. She then called them on
the 20th December and was on hold for 29 minutes before giving
up. She called again on 27th December and after 11 minutes it
said she could leave her details in order to save her place in
the queue and they will call her back. They didn’t and still
haven’t called her back.
Now, am I right in thinking £170 seems excessive to be charged
and isn’t there supposed to be a cheaper option if paid in a
certain amount of time?
I’ve attached the 1st letter front and back, 2nd letter front
and back and the pre-legal action letter that came with the
second letter front and back. The back of that one is blank.
I’ve also attached the GSV link for the car park.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

So far, whoever “she” is has done everything wrong that it’s
possible to do wrong short (thankfully) of paying these
scammers.
But now’s the opportunity to start doing things right.
First of all, delete all those images that give away
confidential information to prying eyes (such as reference
numbers) and replace them with externally hosted scans of the
front and back of the original PCN (parking charge notice or
notice to keeper or whatever it calls itself). Redact the
keeper’s name, address, vehicle number and any reference but
leave all dates showing. Post them on an external site like
www.imgur.com and give us the links. Then we can start giving
sensible advice. In the meantime nobody should attempt to
contact DRP who are toothless scaremongers with no enforcement
capabilities.

Looks like [member=1082]Fowler1981[/member] has lost interest in
their own thread. So why are we bothering?

Please accept my apologies guys, after New Years Eve, yesterday
was a complete write off, I was dying and didn't even get out of
bed. Even the cats walked in the bedroom, looked at me and then
walked out again in disgust. And I've been at work since 6am
this morning.
So, first of all I can't see where to delete them photo's I
posted. I did do them via Imgur and then copied and pasted the
link onto the post.
And secondly she's received another letter off Debt Recovery
Plus today which I will attach below.
These three letters are all she's had. Should there have been
one from Initial Parking to start with?
Apologies again everyone and any replies really are appreciated.

I've removed the images from your opening post that contained
personal info for you.

She (whoever she is) can use those DRP letters for toilet paper.
They don’t tell us anything that will help us tell you (or her)
how to beat this parking ticket. Please ask her to provide the
actual parking ticket. For DRP to be sending all this waste
paper there must have been an actual parking ticket (probably
called a “parking charge notice” or “notice to keeper” or some
such) from an actual parking company.

The letter above and the two that have been deleted are the only
letters she has received. Initial Parking appear to be the ones
that manage the car park but we haven’t received anything from
them, only the three from Debt Recovery Plus. We’ve typed the
details into the Initial Parking website and nothing came up
about this charge whatsoever.
I’m currently at work and on my phone so I can’t redo them
letters that were deleted until this afternoon, Imgur works
differently on my phone compared to the laptop and doesn’t allow
me to do anything with images.

If you don't have, or never received, the initial Parking Charge
Notice, then you could submit a Subject Access Request
HTML https://legalbeagles.info/library/guides_and_letters/court/subject-access-request/<br
/>to the Data Protection Officer at Initial Parking
(mailto:privacy@initialparking.co.uk
privacy@initialparking.co.uk), to get copies. The keeper will
probably need to attach some documents to prove they are who
they say they are, such as a redacted copy of the vehicle's V5C
document.

Please don’t waste your time uploading DRP wastepaper. It’s of
no use to us.
If you (or she) haven’t got the parking ticket, whichever of
you was the addressee of the wastepaper (and presumably the
registered keeper of the vehicle) should send the following
email to
privacy@initialparking.co.uk
‘Dear Sir
Parking charge reference [ ].
I have attached a letter from Debt Recovery Plus Ltd (“DRP”)
purporting to relate to a parking charge issued to me by your
company. I have no record of receiving any such parking charge
notice. Please send me a copy of any such notice(s) that you
have issued to me by name or in relation to the car referenced
in the letter from DRP.
This is a subject access request and I have attached the V5C
registration document for the relevant car to show that I am the
correct data subject.
Yours faithfully’
If neither of you was the registered keeper of the vehicle come
back for more advice now. Otherwise come back for more advice
once you’ve uploaded the redacted parking ticket(s) received
from Initial which should take no more than a month.
