I've received a letter from UKPC for parking over 90 minutes at McDonald's. I wrote to McDonald's and they refused to cancel.
I haven't followed the appeal procedure at UKPC so now received the second and the third letter ordering to pay £100 fine (for 24 minutes over the parking allowance) or they are sending a debt collection agency.
Please let me know what I do at this stage.
Thanks

    Start by reading the newbies thread at the top of this forum, and you will also find out this is not a fine.

    Thanks, I've read the newbies but couldn't find the answer for my case. I followed the 'complain to the retailer' but they refused to cancel.
    I tried to appeal at UKPC appeal site (appealpcn) but they asked to answer if I am the driver (advised in the threads not to declare the driver.)
    so I don't know what to do. :(

    UKPC really are a serious joke ... the infamous fakers of pictures ?

    So Mcd's no longer want your business, that's good as junk food
    really damages your health .... AND NOW YOUR wealth

    STAY AWAY FROM MCD'S IN FUTURE BECAUSE OF UKPC.

    No harm in telling the CEO of McD's that because of their parking cowboys UKPC, that Burger King is where you will spend your
    money and you will pass this onto to your friends

    McD's need you more than you need them and if they must employ parking cowboys, your money is best spent elsewhere

    Mcdonald's Restaurants Limited

    Mr Paul Pomroy Chief Executive

    Email paul.pomroy@uk.mcd.com

    How many more times must these companies be told that
    the parking cowboys lose them business ??

    For you, UKPC will probably instruct timewasting debt collectors, may be DRP/ZZPS
    They will send you the most stupid letters which you will ignore
    as they are 100% powerless

    If UKPC want to take it further it will come from UKPC and NOT some tin pot debt collector

    If that happens, come back here

    PS: If UKPC asks who the driver is, ignore them, if they don't know, not your
    problem and it's none of their business

    No it doesn't, you just choose registered keeper. You don't just give up and not appeal.

    Also, writing to McDonalds Head Office NEVER works. Any McD's successes have always just been the local Manager cancelling, not Head office, ever. All people usually do is trot in with the offending PCN and ask the manager to cancel.
    or they are sending a debt collection agency.

    You know that's just letters, yes? They can't come knocking.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    C-m, I have two pals who got them cancelled by their HO where the manager was just a burger bun stuffer.

    Depends how hard you push it

    Oh, glad to hear it. I have never seen a reported case on here where McD's HO cancelled one.

    Loads cancelled by 'Managers'. And yep, I know what some of them are like, my niece married (and divorced) one!

    They asked to choose between I was the driver or I was not the driver
    I tried to upload the picture of the website page but the forum doesn't allow as I am a new member
