Hello,
I received another letter (delivered yesterday) from Debt
Recovery Plus demanding £170 or make contact in 7 days or if
ignored they write 'legal recovery actions will begin and the
right to appeal will be lost by not responding'.
Also included was a 'Terminal Notice Pre-Legal Action' letter -
listing a load of criteria that would support potential legal
action and also referring to the online sites suggesting private
parking charges don't need to be paid that this is not the case
provided their criteria listed on the letter are met.
Is there a chance I may end up in court needing to defend myself
- I cannot say I am not a little worried now.
kind regards
PO

Hi,
So another letter received telling me my case has been
escalated, final warning and I have lost the right to appeal and
I owe £170.
They will advise their client to start legal action next week
now if I do nothing.
They will submit evidence that 5 contact attempts have been
ignored and my charge may rise to £235 including court fees if
unsuccessful in court.
letter attached for the record.
How is it looking from your perspective about likely hood it
will go to court?
thanks

Hi Hero Member,
It has been a while - and I thought this sorry saga was over
until I received a letter now from DCBL now titles as Notice of
Debt Recovery - unpaid parking charge £170.
In summary it says:
--------------------------
I cannot appeal charge and my next opportunity to dispute charge
if it were taken to court.
Failing to make payment -
you now have 14 days to pay from date of letter (12.3.26).
should you fail to contact us or pay we will recommend to our
client the commencement of legal action against you.
At the bottom of page it says "this case is not subject to high
court or bailiff action"
--------------------------
So this is a different company now - but I see no connection
with previous - like taken over?
I have attached the letter with name redacted. Is this quite
usual to pass on to another debt collecting company?
many thanks :)
I cannot add my letter as an attachment or as a snip
