I am willing to collect, scan and upload a complete set of mine as I collect them over time, blanking out all personal info of course!

It would be best to wait and then upload them all in 1 post on this thread:

Crabman will then move them to the first post. Thanks.

Sorry, I did mean at the end when I have them all, I didn't explain myself too well.

Thanks, that will be great and will certainly help other newbies who are not as well-read about the Private parking tickets scam as you obviously are.

Please try the new telepathic FAQ about PPC issues.

Simply think of the question you have about PPCs, now focus and try to project that question onto the screen in front of you.

Done that? Great.

Wait a few seconds, whilst I receive your question, now here's my answer to the question.......




























































Telepathic FAQ says.................Ignore, ignore, ignore.



This works with any question you care to try, go on test it.

Hi can anyone help, have just been reading about Civil Enforcement Ltd. Got a parking ticket in April in McDonalds in Newcastle and after reading the posts decided it was best to ignore. Got another letter and ignored it and I have now just received a letter from newlyn threatening my credit. I am still a bit unsure of this as I have had a default on my credit file for a debt that had been cleared and it took ages to get it sorted out. Can they affect your credit file without actually taking you to court. should I just ignore this letter or write back to them, any suggestions would help.

There will be no threat to your credit rating. For that to happen the case would have to go to court (very unlikely), you lose (very, very unlikely) and you refuse to pay whatever the judge orders. As this will never happen you can relax. And don't contact them.

Don't forget that these bunch of scammers are just private citizens with no "speial powers" to affect your credit rating.

There is no possible way that a parking invoice from this mob can have any effect on your credit rating. For this to happen someone would have to take you to court(unlikely), you to lose the case(very unlikely) and then you would be a dipstick and refuse to pay what the court decides(very, very, unlikely)
Just continue ignoring, once you get to newlyns you're almost at the end of the paper trail.

Snap.

No, they cannot.

Have you seen the Watchdog clip on private parking tickets (the programme was from just a couple of months ago):

And have you seen our thread showing pictures of the kind of debt collector letters you will get:

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2214803

I don't think we've got Central Ticketing and Newlyn letters on there (could you possibly keep them all and scan them in when you reach the end of your scam, it would be soooo helpful to future victims?).

But please look closely at the letters from other, similar debt collectors like Roxburghe/Graham White and Debt Recovery Plus. See how they use the same language as on your letter 'we may do this, we intend to take you to Court, do not ignore this letter' and other such utter codswallop! :rotfl:

And then notice from our thread, what happens next - yes, all these letter-chains just end. That's it, end of scam if you ignore they do nothing else and move onto a softer target.

I have had such a letter series and have ignored it, last year (from a different private parking company). Nothing happened, but I kept my 'threatogram' letters which I carry around in my handbag to tell friends about this scam.

HTH

Now, come on be honest....it's not a scam as such.

of course its a scam, they threaten you with court and say that it will effect your credit file etc, they try to scare you into paying, and try to word their tickets in such a way to look like a council pcn, in fact they also call it a pcn as well. Their tickets have no basis in law, so imo a scam.
