in Parking tickets, fines & parking
Hi, I've received a parking charge notice from the above company for parking "on our client's private property in July,......... in contravention of the on site parking regulations. Reason: No displayed permit"

I recall parking on a paved area, next to another car, but there was no signage to say I couldn't park there. It is asking for £75, reduced to £65 if I pay within 7 days, but increasing to £150 if I wait over 28 days!!:eek:

Am I correct in thinking I can ignore this??

    100% correct.

    I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.

    Yep, ignore it and any other letters. DO NOT REPLY TO ANY CONTACT. They'll give up in the end and they won't take you to Court.

    Read up on other advice on any similar threads of your choice here (only read the threads about private parking tickets, not anything about appealing Council tickets which is different):

    Once you have read the same thing over and over again you will know you are safe to ignore it and that there is no 'fine'.

    HTH
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Just luv the "appeals" page.
    Full payment with appeal and only original ticket accepted. Money and eveidence in their hands.
    Ignore as always.

    The page where they say they will name and shame bad ppc's is:



    Blank.
    No surprise there.

    Actually post 2 :D
    Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
    They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?

    As others have said, private tickets are not real PCNs and you don't have to pay them! :D

    Watchdog covered this last month, and their legal bod helpfully confirmed what we already know on here about what to do with fake parking tickets (whether you have 'contravened their rules' or not):

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAIcdi9niHA

    You will receive debt collector letters telling you to pay up, see examples here of what to ignore:

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/....php?t=2214803

    Relax and forget about it, even if you get more letters (as per our examples, we can predict you'll get the same). But to be proactive - if the scam letters get tiresome - you may like to report the company and their debt collectors for harassment:

    But don't forget this is NOT a debt, NOT a fine, just a mickey mouse ticket. Nothing happens, your credit record is NOT affected, so don't fall for this con!

    Well put. I posted on here back in December. Received 5 letters, but nothing else has happened. It is now 6 months later.
    Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies
