Has anybody had a similar experience -    ' Out of the blue I received a letter from Debt Recovery Plus on behalf of APCOA^▸ (Car parking company used at GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) - controlled stations in the area) alleging a parking infringement 6 months previous at Bristol Parkway.   Despite me contacting them immediately to inform them I had received no PCN through the post, (Parkway being a pay by phone, ANPR regulated car park), they are insisting that I pay a fine of ^150. They have been asked to provide evidence, to no avail.'

Because it is 6 months later, and you only have 4 weeks to appeal, I cannot supposedly appeal the case with DRP or APCOA and because they will therefore not give me a appeal verification code, I cannot take it to POPLA.

Has anybody else had this and were you able to agree a way forward with APCOA or DRP without going to court. I have spoken to he citizens advice bureau as POPLA suggest but am a little frustrated that APCOA and DRP are not doing anything other than threatening to take me to court.
Any advices gratefully received.
