Hello, welcome to CAG.

Thank you for the information, we can start looking at your case now.

If you were thinking of doing it, please don't appeal, it causes more problems than it solves because Met and other PPCs almost never allow appeals.

DR+ can't do anything to you because they're debt collectors, just part of the letter trail. If it ever went to court it would be Met doing it, or their lawyers.

If you have a look around the forum, you'll see we have dozens of threads about the Stansted car park. Read some threads and you'll see how these outfits work.

Best, HB

It would be good to remove the PCN number from your pdf, to keep this anonymous.

don't do anything till/if you ever receive a letter of claim.

a DCA is NOT A BAILIFF - ignore them.

They sent their bilge out far too late to establish keeper liability.

You're in the clear.

Simply ignore them until you get a Letter of Claim.

This is a scam site.  It's been shown up to be a scam site in the national press and on national TV.  MET don't want their scam to be exposed in court so they huff & puff but then bottle it when it comes to doing court or not.

We have around 140 cases here.  MET have started court claims only seven times, and even then it was a tactic to see if the motorist was terrified of going to court and would give in.  When the Caggers defended, MET discontinued the cases.

But make sure to come back here if you get a Letter of Claim.

As Dave has already said they sent out their PCN too late  That means that Met can no longer pursue the keeper as the charge cannot be transferred from the driver now to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable to pay so it is best not to appeal so Met cannot glean from the appeal who may have been driving.

As above so it is essential you don't appeal and accidentally reveal who was driving.

Stay quiet to Met and their pet DCA unless you get a letter before claim.
