Blah Blah Blah. I've had two letters now telling me that bailiffs were going to call in a couple of days time. one a couple of months ago another a couple of weeks ago, Surprised really I hadn't heard anything for quite a while. I'm still waiting for the knock at the door , and to do what exactly??

Hi, I used a template from here to reply to one of these PPC's and all I got was further requests for money threats of court action, then bailiffs letters telling me of imminent visits etc, In truth I'm sorry I even bothered to send the first letter, it cost me a stamp and the price of an envelope and ink to write with. What a waste of money!! These people just don't give a toss and they will try to persue you until they realise they are wasting their time and money doing so. I haven't seen a letter in months now. My advice is make sure it is a PPC you are dealing with and if so, file the letters until such time as they stop.

Hi all, I have a query, A few months ago one of my company vans was given a ticket for not displaying a valid permit (I have a small family run business). the company is UKPC and have demanded money from my company as it is the registered keeper. The land was one of our clients car parks and the van must have been delivering something as we weren't working on site that day. I was not best pleased one of our drivers had a ticket, but on reflection I decided that he was on a delivery so he couldn't have been there very long. I read a lot of the letters here and decided to fight the ticket, I sent the standard letter, pointing out that our company has no contract with UKPC and that their PCN (invoice) was not going to be paid. I have had various reminders (2) and two collection agency letters stating that they intend to collect £125 and £135 respectively. Today I recieved a "Notice of Visit" letter stating that they have passed my file onto a debt collector who will visit my home within the next few days to obtain full payment! It says further "you can avoid this action by sending payment in full to their office by return of post". My query is as the company is ltd and run from my home address does this change anything regarding the registered keeper / driver argument? Also a a matter of interest they are writing to the company at my address but have the company name wrong. Should I take any action? Or just ignore? Bored.

Hello, I have need of advice regarding an own fault motor insurance claim. last August I had an accident in my car, I swerved to avoid a dog hit a kerb and spun the car. there was a fair bit of damage to two wheels and the front of the car. It was un-driveable and was towed to my house. I am fully comprehensively insured. The Insurance company had the car collected and taken to an "approved Garage" the garage decided the car should go to their prestige site for assessment and repair. I have had dialogue with the garage from the beginning of this sorry saga. The garage informed me they could not get the parts for my car easily. I rang around a couple of main dealers and found they had the parts or could get the parts in a matter of days. I informed the repairing garage of this and their reply was Oh well we just want to deal with the nearest main dealer to avoid problems. I was promised the car back in October. I contacted the insurers who said that the parts were hard to come by. I told them where they could get the parts. I was told the car would be ready for Christmas without fail. January comes and goes, begining of February the garage told me they had found that there was a bent suspension arm (despite it being inspected back in August) and surprise were awaiting the parts. I contacted the insurers who told me the car would be finished in two weeks! The car was still not ready. I called the suppliers of parts that were needed for the cars completion and found that out of three unique (to the car) suppliers, only one had been contacted, and this was for a quote for new wheels. This is the only source for the wheels and I know that only two sets have been made in the time frame, both of which were sent to America. The garage claim they have the wheels!!! The insurance company were contacted and said the car would be ready in two weeks (yeah right!) I contacted the insurance ombudsman and they have contacted the insurers, I await a reply. the two weeks are up (again) and no car. My beef is I am paying nearly £800.00 a month for this car and the insurers are happy to let Joe Bloggs save them a few bob no matter how long it takes. so my now £5,600 loss on payments is really their saving by not getting the car sorted properly in short order. Do I have any legal grounds for compensation or having them write the car off? They could keep this saga up forever and I'd have paid for nothing. Any tips would be most welcome Regards, Bored.
