Got a letter from DRP demanding £170 out of the blue, even though my appeal with Euro Car Parks was still open and unresolved. They sent me a big scary letter with “court action” splashed all over it, but here’s the reality:DRP have zero legal power.They can’t take anyone to court.They don’t own the debt.They can’t enforce anything.They are literally just a letter-sending service designed to frighten people.The letter they sent me didn’t even have a proper sent date on it — just a printed date at the top. No proof of when they actually posted it. Totally unprofessional and clearly meant to pressure people into paying before they can get advice.When I phoned them (big mistake), they read out some nonsense “notes” from Euro Car Parks claiming my appeal had been rejected, yet no rejection letter has ever been provided to me and no POPLA code was ever issued. They basically just repeat whatever the parking firm types into their system, even if it’s wrong.Their advice to me?“Contact Royal Mail.”A complete joke. They know fine well they can’t prove anything was ever posted.This isn’t how genuine companies behave. This is intimidation disguised as process.My advice:Do not panic, do not pay, and do not take DRP seriously. They rely on people being scared. Check your rights before you give these people a penny.It’s very telling that DRP have a cluster of glowing 5-star reviews that all use the same wording and structure. Compare those to the detailed, documented complaints from real customers and make your own mind up. They probably have a "department" for that.It's all a massive scam and I don't understand why it's allowed to happen. Vulnerable people will be taken for all they have and where is the regulator? Where's the protection from this type of evil, callous and predatory behaviour?
