Good idea to thoroughly check if its a private invoice however this line is a bit of a giveaway.
""I sent a letter back stating it was unfair and they have dropped it to £75. ""

The firm is Park Direct, no ticket was issued on the day, we got the letter 5 months after the event. We didnt even know we had been booked. I also like peter_the _piper sent a letter stating it was unfair and the amount has dropped to £75. Many thanks

Yeah, the letter basically is

"We're scammers, but if we 'drop' it to £75 you'll be so relieved you'll pay up...and we can go down the pub and spend your money."

I parked at Ealing Broadway last March for 2 minutes to change drivers as there were yellow lines in all directions. In July i received a £150 fine. I sent a letter back stating it was unfair and they have dropped it to £75. I am the owner/driver am I still good not to pay the engine was never switched off. I was tamping as if it had been a police fine its not valid after 4 weeks, so I have heard.
Thank you for the site.

Wasn't a fine, but a scam

My wife recently exceeded the time on a prepaid ticket and got a notice from Excel for £100. The notice had photographs of the car entering and leaving the car park with a time. She does recall overstaying. Despite the ridiculous amount of £100 surely it is difficult to ignore this one - or is it?

Excel vary rarely do more than send a few threatening letters and then give up.

Why do you think it would be difficult to ignore.

Put it in a drawer and forget about it.

Easy.
