Hi All I hope you can help. Received a PCN in post for: 02 parked or loading / unloading in a restricted street where waiting and loading / unloading restrictions are in force. Davenant Street, E1 at 11:58 My dad had stopped there to check the signs to see whether he could park and when he saw he could not he returned to his car and left. PCN Images and recording I've obtained timings of: 11:59:02 until 12:00:35 Is there any way this could be appealed at all? I have just noticed the time of the PCN notice sent by post is incorrect (by 1 minute!) Does this make a difference at all? Thank you

Last year I had a repayment plan setup to get rid of a CCJ. I had 2 payments outstanding (totaling around £120) and everything went quiet. The last payments never went out and now it appears the company has simply vanished. All traces of the website has gone, none of the phone numbers or email addresses work and I'm still left with an active CCJ against me and no way to actually pay the thing off. Is anyone dealing them still and if so could you provide either a phone number or email address so I can finally rid myself of this debt. Thanks.

Hi guys I have an outstanding debt with Tower Capital in Bournemouth which is one payment away from being closed (£35) But ive tried to contact them and they seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth!! :O Ive got their number but it just rings out.... I want to pay and settle.... Anyone know of another number? I know they have recently rebranded but im not sure what as Filee

I have a monthly payment plan set up with tower capital because I got a ccj with them I have about £45 left to pay and pay £10 a month I have a payment due but cannot contact them to make payment as they have disappeared anyone know whats happened to them or the new contact details for them please??

Hi guys, been a long time since I was on here, I finally got my credit rating and history all cleaned up and clear!!! Anyway.. out of the blue the other week, my partner received a letter from Tower Investigations Ltd, which was pretty vague, asking to get in touch regarding confirmation of identify and some information verification. I told the other half to ignore it, especially as it made no reference to any sort of debt owed etc, I naturally assumed it was a fishing trip So today.... The exact same letter arrives along with a similar letter from Global Debt Recovery, basically asking to ring them about a supposed account that they are responsible for. Again there is no reference as to who or what this actual debt refers to other than to ring up and arrange payment. Payment for what??? This all seems really bizarre particularly since its totally out of the blue. My main concern is that she may have had her identity stolen??? Any advice on this please guys?

Hello, my first post so please be gentle. I received a letter from Tower Investigations Ltd on the 23rd June. The letter text spelled my name wrong (missing a vowel) and looked like a spam junk mail letter. I ignored it until I decided for fun to google the company and found a few forum threads explaining that this company was chasing debt for LloydsTSB. To give you some context, I haven't had a TSB bank account since I was a University student and graduated in 1999. I do not remember whether or not there was any debit associated with the bank account and overdraft. I am in credit in my only current account, have no loans and one credit card with a small amount of debit currently outstanding but being paid off on a monthly basis. The letter from Tower says: I would have waited to see if there was a follow up letter before replying. Today I received a letter from Global Debt Recovery Ltd. The same misspelling of my name was on the letter and a unique reference number was printed in the same location on the letter, in the same font and formatting of slashes to separate the elements. The contact telephone number for London is almost identical. All of these things are a little too much of a coincidence methinks! The letter from Global says: Okay so my question to you helping people is what to do next. I assume that I should keep all correspondence by registered mail (to prove delivery). Should I send letters to both companies asking for further information? Or should I start with this letter template: I read a post that I can't link to titled 'Global Debt Recovery' which makes me think that maybe I should not reply at all - the owner of both companies sounds rather unsavoury. I would have posted direct links but I'll need to post twenty times before I'm allowed on the forums. What would you recommend I do?
