I have read the newbies advice here, just wanted to clarify my understanding
I recieved two letters from Debt Recovery Plus on the same day, about a PCN. Both letters had the same PCN number, same date, same car park, but two different Private Parking Companies!!

Highview in Livingston
Got a charge notice today looking for £90 or £50 if paid now. Having read through some threads here about this lot, I am comfortable with the idea of ignoring any further correspondence from them.
