Hi, could you please help,i received a parking fine from a private company in april. I was shopping in Lidl, and stayed more than the time it says, which 1-1/2 hour, i have done it before, and never happened to me. I went to the forum and did exactly what you said is to ignore them. The letter is in a bromn envelope and says:CHARGE CERTIFICATE civil parking charge notice and they had cctv camera, which i don't think i was displaying CCTV in the parking.So as you know the procedure;1st letter were asking for 45pounds if paid within 14 days, then 2nd letter for 90 pounds if not paid they would pass to debt collectors. So now this morning i received the 3rd letter from their debt collectors saying that they would take me to court,and it would affect my credits( loans, mortgage, credit cards etc...) I did as you said, not to reply to them, my wife is worried. Can you please help what to do. Thank-you so much

In your circumstances I would proceed on your current course of action, it is very effective and very easy to do.0

Yup - Keep on ignoring the empty threats. Just file them as evidence of a variety of wrongdoing on their part on the (miniscule) offchance they do go as far as court but don't hold your breath!

Makes no difference where in the country it is the advice is always the same, IGNORE.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0
