PARK FORCE fine

I was issued with a £60 fine for parking in a private car park operated by PARK FORCE on Sunday 24 May 2009. I was helping as a junior sports coach and could not access the cricket club were I was due to help because the car park for the club was full (mostly parents' cars)! There was no where safe to park so I parked in the PARK FOCE car park for 50-60 minutes before a space came up in the club's car park.
Having appraoched the Doctors Surgery and the Church who use the car park, they could not help but simply directed me, rather unhelpfully, to PARK FORCE. Has anyone had any dealings with this company before? I'm worried about ignoring it and don't want to incur more fines/costs but feel I was taking the safest option by parking there.
Please help!

Your case is no different from any of the other private parking cases on here.
And so, the advice remains the same. Ignore it.
And tell all of your family and friends about the scam.
I wonder if anyone has had any dealings with Park Force directly?
• do not pay
• do not contact them
• ignore their threatening junkmail
• ignore the threatening junkmail from their powerless debt collectors (they are NOT bailiffs)
• they will give up and go away
This is a mail scam. All you have is an unenforceable invoice - private companies have no powers to fine people, only recoup actual losses. They have not lost £60 - this is an unenforceable penalty charge.
Ignore everything that comes through your letterbox.
