Go to the "The Parking Fines, Tickets & Parking Board" sub-forum (click the "forum jump" button of the page) and very near the top, on the left-hand-side, you will see a "start new thread" button.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -
PPC Advice
If it's council/police - go to Pepipoo forums and post the details and a copy of the PCN [front and back] on there. Council/Police issue Penalty Charge Notices [and are the only ones allowed to do so].
If it's a PPC then......they issue ‘invoices’ [often made to resemble official PCNs]; often call their invoices Parking Charge Notices [same initials, see part of the scam]. These are legally unenforceable as [leaving aside signage, etc] the PPCs needs to prove who was driving the car [not just name the Registered Keeper (which is all the council/police have to do)]. Nothing else matters.
So in essence
Ignore everything [unless you get an N1 from the court].

Yes the advice is still the same in your case - just ignoreExcel 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?0 -
I got a 'parking charge' on the 14 March for overstaying the time in the car park - free for 90 mins then a £90 fine. Had two letters now and was about to reply on Martin's advice on this, but been reading these forums and alot of advice is to do absolutely nothing.
However although I keep reading on here and the forums that they would have to take me to court to get any payment, they aren't threatening court action. They are threatening to transfer me to a debt collection company where additional costs could be incurred!!!
How do I stand with this ? Should I just pay the £90 (that I don't have) or write a letter to them explaining I won't be paying because there was insufficient signage, can't afford to pay, and its a disproportionate amount ?
I don't like the idea of debt collectors coming round, and is that even legal in contract law?0 -
