[mariejones]

Hello everyone I wondered if anyone can help me back in October 2013 I received a parking ticket from private eye for parking at mcdonalds I did what ann Robinson's said on the tv to ignore after receiving several letters I received a letter from the court they then wanted 275 pound from me I still ignored it now I have received a letter from debt collectors saying if I don't pay another 75 pounds will be added I have not admitted the offence whatsoever or written back to anyone now I am worried they will come to my home and take valuables worth that amount any ideas what I should do about it now as I am getting worried and stressed over this

Keep everything and hang fire unless you get a letter before action or court papers.

The court of appeal are due, any day now, to publish their decision which will have a huge bearing on these tickets, one way or another.

Current court claims are for £175 currently so these fake debt collection charges as utter dross.

Hi Marie,

Ann Robinson said to ignore it ? Blimey, she needs a kick up the bum then.

I received a letter from the court they then wanted 275 pound from me I still ignored it

Do you actually have a judgment against you ? ( did you get a letter form the court saying you needed to pay ?)

Could you check on your credit file or telephone the court with the claim number (if you still have those docs) and check what the status of the claim is pls.

Who are the debt collectors ?

I missed the letter from the court.

Can you scan it up ?

If it looks like




you have screwed up badly. Nobody ever said to ignore court claims.

Thanks for your reply Yes they did take me to court but unfortunately I didn't keep the paperwork the name of the creditors that has taken the debt on is called D R P debt recovery plus Ltd who say they r acting on behalf of private eye I wasn't the driver at the time either

Then you're pretty much screwed unless you didn't know about it and it appears you did.
