Thanks, I'll let you know what happens. The driver was me and I am the registered keeper...?

Well here we go again, over 12 months since the alleged offence.... It all went quiet for about 6 months then back in July I received another demand for payment letter from DRP which I ignored again. Then today I received a "reduced payment offer to avoid court proceedings £108" (was £135). I'm not sure why they have resurrected this after all this time, perhaps now they will refer my case to creditor with the recommendation that they appoint their solicitor to commence court proceedings against me! I have until the 17/09/2014 to hand over the dosh! It says if it goes to court and I lose I will have to pay the fine, £135 + court fee £25 + solicitors costs £50 So even if it goes to court the max bill will be £210 so I might as well just see what happens and defend myself if it gets to that point. Where will the hearing be? Can I request to have it at my local court? What are my options? Any advice chaps?

Letter drafted Re: Demand for payment of an unpaid parking charge£135.00 To whom it may concern, I have now received two letters Debt Recovery Plus Ltdstating that I must pay an unpaid parking charge of £135.00 for exceeding amaximum stay in the Rheidol Retail Park car park. I received the first letter dated 06/02/2014 andtitled “Demand for payment of an unpaid parking charge £135.00” and as I wasunsure as to the authenticity of the letter I chose to ignore it. I then receivedthe second letter dated 21/02/2014 and titled “Notice of intended court action –unpaid parking charge £135.00” which has prompted me to contact you. As I have had no communication from you prior to receivingthese threatening letters from Debt Recovery Plus Ltd I would like you toconfirm that there is a genuine case to be answered and if so then pleaseforward the full details of the alleged offence so that I can review andrespond accordingly.

Hi guys, as the 7th of March is fast approaching I was thinking that maybe I should write to parking eye and send a copy of the letter to DRP explaining that I've received two letters from DRP, but no details of any offence. Say that I'm concerned its a [problem] as no correspondence, direct from PE, has been received, if it is infact a genuine could they re-send any previous correspondence. then just respond with my appeal direct to PE stating that I wasn't parked over the two hour limit and appeal against the parking charge. yes or no?

That's interesting it is the exact same carpark Rheidol Retail Park in Aberystwyth! I don't even have parking eyes derails to make a late case.

My parents own the caravan we stay in. The site is closed November - March so they will be heading down at some point to open up. I'll find out when they are planning to visit next and ask them to collect the necessary information. It might be later than the cut off date for a response to DRP though is that OK? I'll also have a look what's available on google maps when I get in tonight!

Yeah, that's the key, however as its a 5hr drive to the car park I can't have a drive over to see exactly what it says or where the camera is located

I haven't got the old PE letters, date of the alleged offence is 27/08/2013 I don't know when the first letter landed, sorry, not much help am I.

Thanks for your help so far guys, nice to know there's help available. I don't think I still have the original PE letters, I'll have a look but its doubtful. I've got the two from DRP.

Ok, so if I receive court papers what happens then? Can I request further details and a copy of the evidence to show I overstayed? I would like them to prove how many cars passed through the camera in a certain time period to prove how long it took to leave the crapark? Are they likely to give me that information?

Sorry, I replied to an old thread and then a new one was created with the same title. To confirm the first letter from DRP was titled "demand for payment of an unpaid parking charge" The second letter is "notice of intended court action - unpaid parking charge"

Hello guys, I'm having a few issues with the above company and debt recovery plus ltd. Whilst on holiday in Wales I parked in a retail car park with a 2 hr limit. The problem was the design and location of the car park is poor, two car parks exit onto the same side road which then exits onto a small road which is controlled by traffic lights onto a main road. The end result is it can take ages to get out of the car park. I know that my time stationary (parked) was less than two hours, however, its quite possible that it took 10 mins to find a space and a further 15 mins to get out of the car park. There was no ticket on the car so I can only assume there was a number plate recognition camera at the entrance / exit somewhere? Anyway, I've had the letters from PE which I've ignored, I've then had the first letter from DRP saying I had until 20/02/2014 to pay, which I ignored and I now have another one saying I must pay by 07/03/2014. If i don't pay " we will pass your file to the creditors solicitor with a recommendation to commence court action against you" I am fully prepared to defend myself should it go to court as I know I wasn't "parked" for over two hours. I would like to request the evidence that they have though, but not sure if I should make contact? What's the best course of action? Cheers guys
