Debt recovery letter received 12 months after I allegedly overstayed on a private car park, so I ring them to enquire and inform them it's the first I've heard of it, for some reason parking eye sent me 3 letters following the alleged overstay (allegedly) because I didn't receive them so now I have
1, I lost my right to admit it and pay the smaller amount £45
2, I lost my right to appeal the parking charge notice
3, now they say due to the fact they posted them too me I now have to pay £140! According to the protection of freedom act 2012 if they posted them it is presumed I received them (unless I can prove evidence to the contrary).
How can I prove I didn't receive something I wasn't expecting that was only posted by standard 1st class post? I have asked both companies DRP and Parking eye the question Parking eye don't have a clue and DRP suggested I contact Royal Mail which worked in my favour, when I asked the ridiculous question and the lady composed her laughing she informed me that first class post is not proof of postage or delivery. I'm now at a stage where I have denied to Drp Ltd that I owe the debt due to parking eye failing to ensure I received the original parking charge within the timescale as required unless parking eye provide proof of postage and proof of delivery! My local MP is looking into the protection of freedom act 2012 on how I can provide "evidence to the contrary" regarding the lost mail. What these guys don't realise is that sometimes fighting for your principles is much stronger than losing a few quid!! will keep you posted!!
