    Has anyone to your knowledge ever gone to court when they have completely ignored all the letters?

    Is there a pattern? I have recieved a notice prior to county court proceedings suggesting I have failed to pay my parking ticket (which I know it is not!)

    Hopefully getting near the end now.....

    1) OPC have done this about 25 times and in each one they lost, can't think why they don't give up.
    2) Do I read your post to say you paid their invoice or do you mean the ticket to park on the day?

    I received a letter from civil enforcement ltd. yesterday looking for £150 fine. This is my first letter and states I never paid the previous amount so therefore has increased. It doe not state where I was parked... I really do not know what to do. I want to phone them but then I'm not sure if that is also a scam just to get money off me.

    Please help,

    Please read all the previous posts above and you will see that its perfectly reasonable to just ignore them and all their increasingly threatening letters. All are a waste of paper and have no basis in law.

    Two choices.....

    Pay up.

    Receive several sheets of toilet paper [aka PPC invoices/letters].

    So if you are frightened by the thought of getting some computer generated letters then I suggest you pay up immediately.

    Oooopsadaisy's reply is tongue-in-cheek. No-one should fall for it and pay!

    Yes it is a scam just to get money from you. You DO NOT want to phone them!

    Do not appeal, do not ring, do not contact them, do not tell them who was driving.

    Ignore it and ignore the debt collector letters which follow (honestly, it is safe to ignore as this is NOT a real fine and the debt collectors are NOT bailiffs). It is a cowboy industry resorting to threats to scare people into paying a demand that you, as the registered keeper, have NO reason to pay.

    Click on my link in my signature, settle down and read a good few threads starting at the top, looking at the Watchdog link and the copies of the letters that you will be sent. Read as many threads as it takes until you understand this is a generic scam carried out every day in retail parks around the Country, with NO FINE actually ever existing in reality.

    Ignoring the whole letter-series is quite fun once you KNOW it's a scam! :D

    Since my letter on 19th November (which was dated 11th, and gave me 7 days to reply) I haven't heard anything else, so I think they gave up

    Good for you. Now spread the word that PPC 'fines' are legally unenforceable and get payback!
    Still waiting for Parking Eye to send the court summons! Make my day!
