My daughter got 'done' in a car park in Wrexham. She did not see the sign at the entrance and then there no more signs (that she could see) in the car park. She got a fine letter and then wrote back (genuinely) stating the above. Since then she has gone back to University and now received two more letters - now saying that legal action will follow.

I have not passed either of these other letters on to her because she has enough pressures at Uni (including financial) without this !!!!!!!!! I have written back to TPS stating that she has not received the last two letters.

I am going to fight this tooth and nail - even if me that ends up in court. That will include the press and the stupid shops that use their services.

Fight on!!!!

You seem to understand the situation but the best thing that you could do now to reduce the number of letters that you/you daughter will receive is to stop contacting them at all. No more letters and certainly no phone calls. As a result of your having written to them you are likely to get a few more extra letters but just ignore them.

Hi all,

Having read through this thread I feel much better about the "Parking Enforcement Notice" I received this morning.

A few things though - the 'invoice' has been sent to a previous address of mine (the new tenants have forwarded it on to my current address although I will shortly be moving out of here too....!) and addressed to my maiden name. I guess that just gives me more reason to ignore them, seeing as I never actually received anything..?

i parked on a car park recently not realising there was a time limit, now received a letter from tps asking for £50, within 14 days or it will rise to £70 if not paid, have spent nearly that much dialling the phone number on the letter but no response, have written and emailed, and at last got an email reply, just saying i was illegally parked and to send them the money.
am not going to pay, and await further letters, if the people on the website are correct.

Did they actually use the term "illegally parked"? If so they were lying because (as this was on private land) no statute laws were broken.

Just corrected the amount of time the discount is available for, because if you do pay at £50 they will come back with some excuse to say that payment was late and that you owe another £20 plus £10 admin fees.

If it was a free car-park then the landowner has lost nothing so don't worry.

This is an ancient thread to bump again, bearing in mind we get at least 20 new ones every single day! I guess you didn't know that?

Quick forum use tip:

When you find a random thread on any online forum, take a step back and look at the sub-forum, the board the thread sits on and read the info threads at the top which are called 'stickies' as they stick permanently at the top of the board like notices.

To do this, look at the top of this page for the blue link starting Home > Forums > and so on (it's in small writing, always written as a chain-link on any forum, always with > inbetween each step, and it ends with the name of this thread).

So ALWAYS take a step back. Click on the link before the name of the thread. Clue - it's mentioned in my signature!

If ever you find a random forum post when searching for information online, do not just reply on it as it's confusing to hijack a thread that someone else started. Always look at the actual board the thread sits on by going back one link in the chain and starting your own thread if the stickies do not have the answer you are looking for.

Hope that makes sense.

Now if you try that, please read the stickies (info threads at the top) by clicking on the end of the Home > Forums > 'breadcrumb link' at the top.

You will find a must-see Watchdog clip, cunningly hidden in the sticky thread 'welcome, please read before posting'! And also look at the letter chains in the top sticky thread.

That's what will happen - just letters. Ignore them completely. But do read up on the scam and watch the Watchdog clip now I have explained how to find the sticky info threads. It is not just a bunch oif perople on a website telling you to ignore a fake PCN - watch the Solicitor!

Hello All,
I received a tps parking fine the day before my mums funeral - I was broke as-well and it really was a bad thing for me. I was however 2 mins late returning. It was in a free car park though and they put a proper sticker on my windscreen.
I ignored the letters that have gone to my in-laws house as we had the car registered there for a time (we just moved). I actually have never seen a letter (my OH forgets to show me and then loses them..) My FiL emailed tps and said we don't live there anymore. The letters still came to them and now they are from a debt collectors saying they may take me to court. Only prob is it was my OH's car so they are threatening him. I am now getting very worried - I don't want to get my partner in trouble - equally I can't afford the £150fine it now has gone up to. Please help...

It's not a fine. You won't go to court, and neither will anyone else. Did you read anything in this thread to whcih you have added your story? If you had, you would know all threats of debt collectors and court are completely hollow, and will never be followed through.

Just keep on ignoring, and tell everyone else to do likewise.

I thought most people had parked but weren't late back? ie Unfair parking fines - I was late. Plus no-one has ever said what happened in the end...hope you're right...doesn't stop me worrying though. Does anyone know the last letter you get?

It will not go any further than threatograms, tps never do court ever. You should relax and enjoy christmas and the new year.
