my car got a ticket on it few weeks ago parked on private land, even though a valid ticket was displayed, they are saying i was given the ticket and didnt pay for it, well i made mistake of sending a email appealing with details of the ticket and have since recieved a email saying my appeal is unsuccessful and i need to pay , so sent a email confirming i was not the driver which i wasnt and i wont be telling them who was driving, hope ive done right, they dont have my address due to only emailing them and i didnt give them my address.

As you now know the appeals process is a complete sham! They will soon have your address thanks to the lovely folks in the DVLA and them depositing £2.50 in their coffers! Providing you are the registered keeper of course.

Luckily you have not admitted to being the driver. Expect a few letters threatening every imaginary action possible, but ignore them all and they will eventually crawl back under their stone.

It looks like that South West Trains has kicked Central Car Parking out of my local railway station carpark as all the CCP signs has had the CCP stuff covered up, so either a new PPC is waiting in the wings or SWT are going to do the checks themselves.

What's more annoying is that Saturday parking costs has doubled to £2, it was free in 2009 (but I guess they have got to pay for the new car-park somehow)

Thanks for the advice i will follow it, some above are saying to send a letter in saying i was not driving the car at the time, or just hope they get bored and then relise im not paying the bill.

No don't do that if you write they are encouraged to send more crap. They know you must be the driver but it does not stop them then sending out letters quoting all sorts of legal garbage saying you are still responsible.

Let them waste their time and money and don't encourage them.

Unfortunately the "I was not the driver" letter just does not work!

Well they will get the current RK details from the DVLA quicker than you can sell it and the new keeper details being processed, but still you should ignore the cowboys, they will just use threatograms to try and make you pay.

It's not hassle, honestly, when you really understand it's all a generic scam.:D

It's actually quite funny to receive the standard letters in the expected order, having seen previews already on our sticky thread 'PPC letters, what to expect'.
