Thread: UKPC & Debt Recovery Plus Ltd

Hi,

I used the valuable advice from this forum myself about a year ago concerning a matter with UKPC. I subsequently ignored all their corresepondance, got letters from rossendales Collect and then they eventually left me alone.

My girlfriend, a few months back got a parking ticket when parked in her numbered bay (from UKPC again) and following my advice simply ignored it.

However, she's just got a letter from 'Debt Recovery Plus Ltd' threatening:

"Unless you pay us the amount in full within 7 days or contact us immediately with your proposals......this could result in:

*A county court JUDGEMENT BEING ISSUED AGAINST YOU
*AN ATTACHMENT OF EARNING ORDER
*YOUR PERSONAL EFFECTS BEING SOLD TO PAY THE AMOUNT AT
JUDGEMENT

Seemed like pretty standard stuff to me, I'm just concerned because I've googled/searched the forums and can't find anything out about "Debt Recovery Plus Ltd."

Can anyone advise?

Anyone heard of the company?

Thanks,

is the address for debt recovery plus the same as for the PPC ? is there a company registration number on the letter ?

Address for Debt Recovery Plus Limited is:

PO BOX 259 Ashton under lyne OL6 0ES.

Registered office: 5 Grange Park Road, Cheadle, Cheshire SK8 1HQ. Comp Reg: 6774510
Address for UKPC:

UK PARKING CONTROL LIMITED
Unit 29
1-2 Denham Parade
Oxford Road
Uxbridge UB9 4D

They seem to be all over the place and at different addresses. Any opinions?

Thanks for your response Richard - are any of the other companys listed known to be associated with UKPC, e.g. rossendales Collect or the like?

Thanks again.

Hi All, Got caught by UKPC for parking in a disabled bay, bought a cheap digital camera for £60 over at Beckton, East London, was in the shop no more than 2 /3 minutes, there seems to be approx 26 spaces, 6 of which are disabled (no excuse I know, but the other spaces were all free, so anyone disabled could have parked). Got £45 ticket, I swear the person must have been in the carpark to get me that quickly. Was going to pay it until I read this site. Am about to start sitting it out, will let you know progress, also have contacted Trading standards as others should also do. On googling UKPC does seem to be true that they should include Registered address and company number, none of which they do.

and c/o FREEOLA LIMITED looks a bit off. Its an ISP ! sounds like UKPC don't actually have any offices at their registered address. have sen many accommodation addresses used but this is the first time I have seen an ISP used.

I have also been ticketed by TPS parking solutions,where the date on the ticket is 7/1/08 yet on the final notice is 09,obviously written out in error, since I have received two letters on the same day from debt recovery plus as per the first person on this thread,which is very threatening,I mailed TPS twice-they ignored me & DRP ltd aswell-they also ignored me.
so should I ignore them in return?

Debt Recovery Plus Ltd are not directly linked to UK Parking Control and UK Parking Controls other than the fact they do collections on their behalf. the people behind the company used to be linked to CRS (churchill recovery solutions)

hope this helps, any questions let me know

Hi aeloen,

Did anything ever come of your girlfriends Debt Recover Plus Ltd letter? I am asking as I have just received 2 letters with the same 'Notice on intended litigation' template?


Thanks
Darren

The OP hasn't been on here for over 2 months.

Nothing will happen. They threaten all day long, but it is all hot air.

Hi Darren,

Although I've not been on here for a while, I do always get notification e-mails - just picked yours up!

As the other members have advised nothing ever came of it.

When I first got one from UKPC I wrote back to them contesting it because the date was wrong, but they just ignored me and kept sending me more and more threatening letters (from various 'debt collection agencies'). Eventually they went away.

When my girlfriend got one we never even replied to them once. We got a couple more letters I think but then they eventually left us alone.

From experience, I would say just file them in David Brent's "Special Filing Cabinet,' - the bin.

My estate recently got turned into parking permit bays and all of a sudden UKPC started giving out parking tickets at all times of the day. Before I could get my parking permit sorted by my landlord UKPC had given me 6 tickets I've appealed and they just sent me back a standard letter without looking at the details of my case. I've been threatned with bailiff action if I dont pay these tickets within 14 days.

Could somebody who has experience with UKPC tell me what to do because I dont know who to appeal to.

No you haven't been threatened with bailiffs. Read the letter again (then file it in the bin!). You have been threatened with debt collectors. Pen pushers, no more.

Why on earth did you fall for it and appeal, it's not a fine?! Should have ignored from start to finish, private PCNs and the threatogram letters are just a load of claptrap.

IGNORE FROM NOW ON.

Just ignore.
