They are not a party to any contract allegedly breached by the driver. All they can do is try and intimidate the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree into paying out of ignorance and fear.
We really don’t need to know about any debt recovery letters and you can just file them or shred them into hamster bedding for alll anyone cares. If/when you receive a Letter of Claim (LoC), then you can respond, but that will not be from a powerless debt collector.
In the meantime, to assist me in keeping track of your case, could you complete the PCN details form here:
https://gullibletree.com/tools/pcnform_main.html
It will produce a summary that you can just copy and paste into the thread as a post. I’ll get back to you when I have the summary to hand.
Hi there is the summary:
This case concerns a Parking Charge Notice (private parking firm) issued by UK Parking Control Ltd, relating to an alleged contravention on Wednesday, 05 November 2025. The notice itself is dated Tuesday, 11 November 2025, and I first became aware of it via received initial notice.
The notice appears to have been issued as By post (ANPR/camera). Driver identified status: NO. Equality Act considerations: No. The location is stated as Friern Barnet Retail Park N11 3PW.
A preliminary Protection of Freedoms Act (PoFA) assessment indicates COMPLIANT: Likely PoFA timing compliant for paragraph 9 (postal NtK, no windscreen NtD). Route applied: PoFA paragraph 9 (postal NtK, no windscreen NtD). The notice is treated as given on Thursday, 13 November 2025 (8 days after the alleged event).
Current stage:
- Notice responded to: Yes
- Debt recovery letters: Yes
- Letter of Claim: No
- County Court claim: No
Response/appeal already sent (verbatim where possible):
I followed the advice on the forum and appealed the ticket stating that the driver wasn’t identified therefore the registered keeper cannot be held reliable which shortly after they asked to identify the driver which I have refused and my appeal was rejected.
Please can I have advice on the strongest next steps and defence points for this case.
