Whatever. I don't see why you were even bothering to ask for advice.

ok so i gor another letter
the letter says
i was informed of the breach of regulations in which the vehicle was involved .
you are hereby warned that court action may now be instigated to recover unpaid Parking Notices, unless payment of £60 is made immediately by cheque or postal order to Legion Group PLC and sent to the address. .................... if court action is necessary we will, in addition, ask the court to make an order requiring you to pay legal costs, which we estimate at £40. the court may also fine you.
what should i do now?

It's a civil matter so how could a court fine the OP???

Keep ignoring &, if you're up to it, send a copy of that letter to your local Trading Standards.

We all know how stressful this can become, which is why PPC's send these kind of letters.They are designed solely to scare you into paying.

Remember this is a civil debt. You won't be in a court room full of men in funny wigs, a jury of twelve true and hearty citizens guided by a judge wearing a black cap.

Vast experience of many others shows that there is a high probability that they will not take you to court, it is just not cost effective.

Only respond if you receive a genuine court summons, and I am sure everyone here will help you defend it. In the unlikely event of you losing, you would only be liable for the original amount plus court costs, which under the small claims track, will be very small. You can even contest this summons without having to attend the court.

On one web site dedicated to fighting these PPC charges, an experienced barrister advised not to pay.So why not follow this excellent advice for just a little longer and see what does, or more likely, doesn't, happen.

The op seems to be exactly the type of person that these blaggers are able to scare into paying. Keep your nerve hunting20 and take the good advice being offered on this forum.
I frequently use a Parking Eye controlled car park and am quite looking forward to the process, if or when, I do inadvertently overstay, or more likely, visit twice in less than 4hours.
