Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
My car was apparently issued with a PPC from Combined Parking Solutions earlier in the year. I was on holiday abroad at the time of the charge and am genuinley unsure who the driver was that day. I have therefore sent a letter to this effect as per the templates. I have since had two standard collection letter from Daniels Silverman to which I sent the "in dispute, refer back to client" letters in return. The most recent letter informs me I have an "agent" calling at my address in a couple of weeks to discuss this ! They are obviously ignoring my letters and proceeding regardless. Do I just sit tight or send another letter direct to CPS ??
If a debtor queries a debt, and money that is owed, it is unfair for the creditor to continue with recovery proceedings during the time the debt is being disputed. If requested, the creditor or debt-collecting agency must provide details of an outstanding debt. It is not all up to the debtor to prove they do not owe a debt, is it up to the creditor to prove they do if the debt is disputed.
The OP has written stating that the alleged debt should be taken up with the driver, not the RK. Silvermans have simply ignored this and carried on.
No point in writing further to CPS and / or Silvermans
Just to add to what BarnsleyBoy said, if anyone does turn up at your property to discuss this they will NOT be a bailiff and as such have zero powers to do anything, so should someone turn up tell them 'politely' (use your own interpretation of politely) to leave you alone.
Ignore any threats they may make about losing your credit rating, having goods seized, having money docked from your pay, selling your kids into slavery etc etc etc because until it goes to court (which it wont because CPS always bottle out) and until they actually win in court (which it won't because pigs can't fly yet) then they can do nothing other than send you letters trying to frighten you into payment.
CPS have taken cases to court and won, but the cases they have won are not well defended. In the case of the OP, CPS have no chance of making this one stick should they take it to court.
Hi Buuble,
Just ignore them and see what happens, I suppose you now know it is pointless lodging an, 'appeal', funny they all seem to be rejected

Please remember our troops, fighting and dying in our name. God protect them.
Well after all this time and a court action threat letter back in September, I have heard NOTHING !
So there you go everyone.....just sit tight and wait for them to bog off !
perfect illustration of why you should never say anything anywhere about who was driving - and that includes on forums. Your initial comment "I was on holiday abroad at the time of the charge and am genuinley unsure who the driver was that day." was enough to make them realise they could not win despite their much vaunted 'its all legal and works' message.
Is this the same Perky that claims that they would always cancel tickets if it was clear they were issued to the wrong person? And that they don't use debt collectors they always go straight to court?
Ongoing CPS PPC, am I going the right way ?
