Ignore was the old advice until POFA arrived in 2012. You need to have appealed it when the Notice to Keeper arrived.
As well as removing name etc blank out the bar code and the square above it as they will no doubt have your details encoded in them.
Write back to DR+ denying that you owe the client anything and stop contacting you.
Was the original PCN stuck to the windscreen or through the post? How many other letters have you received?
Hi I have received one letter saying that they got my details from the DVLA and to confirm who the driver was (I got this through the post) but they also stuck something on my windscreen. I did not reply to the letter through the post or anything. The letter from the post was the only one I got until the letter from the DR+.
Should I email DR+ or write a letter?
Regards

DR+, as you've probably discovered is very well known here
They sometimes send letters under trading names such as Zenith Collections or Parking Collection Services to make it look like you're dealing with somebody new
All they can ever do is write letters and there is only ever one response
Dear Sir
Ref ****
I deny any debt to CUP Enforcement
Refer the matter back to your client
For the avoidance of doubt, I will not under any circumstances make any payment to your company
Don't contact me again
I will not reply
Yours Faithfully
The DR+ letter dates the parking charge notice as October not "a couple of weeks ago"
Do you mean you received a Notice to Keeper letter ? That should have arrived by early December
CUP is owned by John Agdobar whose clamping company used to be familiar here
A lot of clampers turned to aggressive ticketing when their practice was banned
Court action is extremely unlikely
You don't need a solicitor for Small Claims Court. In fact the system is intended to work without them
Plenty of us have experience at writing defences
Okay thank you for reassuring me! Should I include my name at the end after the yours faithfully? And yes I got it on the 10th of October, but my wife has misplaced the first letter we got (that said please identify the driver, we got your name from DVLA) so I didn't know the exact date.
Also should I send an email or a letter?

Company Name: Close Unit Protection Services Ltd (CUP)
Appeals System: BPA
Company House Number: 08247409.
Comments: Paper tickets on car on the day.
2014 Keeper Request: Unknown but few
2014 Court Cases (Est): None.
Recommendation: Ignore but keep paperwork
They do not do claims nor court.
Either ignore or write back and say to mitigate any further loss send a POPLA code so their claims can be examined by an independent adjudicator. Failure to provide a means of ADR will be noted.
Phewwww I am so relieved! thank you for your advice.
