  • Tnc debt collecting..... Advice please.

    Back in December 2018 I received a parking charge through the post from a company called PRIVATE PARKING SOLUTIONS (London) Ltd.
    They claim that the vehicle was parked in a unmarked bay. This was on a Sunday at a tesco express store.
    ​​​​​​
    I appealed and it got rejected. (obviously). I got a popla code and appealed with popla on the grounds that the signage wasn't clear on entry to the car park and that the car park was not lit correctly at the time of parking (about 4.30pm). I raised other points as well, but popla rejected them all. I worded every communication in a way preventing them knowing who the driver was.

    Some days on I am now getting demands for £170 from a debt collecting company called TNC. They're demanding immediate payment and the name of the driver. They advised that if I don't give the name of the driver that the keeper is liable for the charge under schedule 4 of the pofa 2012.

    ​​​​​All letters from them have been timely.

    It's been advised elsewhere that TNC debt collector letters should be ignored. But then I've read that debt collector letters shouldn't be ignored.

    I am somewhat confused.

    What should I do at this stage?

    Thank you.

    Ignore them.
    If you receive a proper court claim then dispute it

      I'm with des8

      Not only should they be ignored, but if they are quoting PoFA 2012, they can't ask for any more than the amount on the notice to keeper

                  They do take cases to court
                  They often lose cases in court

                  Just retain all documentation and sit tight

                      Johnydoe I didn't bother applying to set-aside. I let the CCJ run its course for the 6 years and then it came off and within 2 to 4 months my credit rating jumped quite a bit. Today I'm 999 credit score with Experian.
