Private Parking Tickets discussion

Coblcris

The prevalence of recent posts outrageously purporting that payment must be made clearly indicates that this forum is working well in informing people of the facts behind Private Parking Companies.
This site is obviously helping potential victims stand up for their rights. Long may it continue.
Every post that erroneously purports that payment must be made is a ringing endorsement of success.
And a compliment to all those that help.

As has ben said many times before, there can only be a ccj if they take court action (unlikely) win(even more unlikely) and you don't pay what the court say(virtually impossible) so Yes, keep ignoreing. In the extremely remote possibility they they ever get that far, start a new thread and let the experts help.

Just tell your husband to read through all the other private parking threads on here, as has been said squillions of times, ignore, don't pay, it's a scam, nothing will happen. (Apart from a series of increasingly threatening and desperate letters from the ppc)

I am in dispute with Excel Parking in Stockport. I have never received a ticket and the first demand I had was for £100 - £60 ticket and £40 costs. I am now being hassled by debt collectors for £140. The day in question I bought a ticket but went into a shop to get some change. When I came out and bought a ticket, the inspector was at my car. We had a chat and that was it - no ticket. I have spoken to the company and they have admitted that no ticket has ever been issued. Any advice?

Yes, Ignore and please read other threads on the is subject. You will probably receives other letters saying they "might" take you to court etc. But it's all hollow threats because they have no case against you.

And please don't dignify that man's position by calling him an "inspector". He was not some kind of council official, just a low-paid employee of this scamming company.

Just ignore any futher correspondence from them, they don't give up that easy. They will keep trying and only let you go after about 5-6 begging letters. The thing to remember about any ppc

they lie.

How many letters before they give up?
