Here is the scan of first demand
Predictably all caps and threatening language. I am quite surprised by how quickly they are threatening debt collectors! Though I notice that they have kept it all "may", probably keeping it legal side of threatening. Though the capitals is funny.
Any thoughts/ reassurances welcome please0 -
Perhaps a photocopy of that letter along with a few questions are in order. Especially about how the threatened Debt Collection Agency could have any standing to bring a Court Action. Ask for a copy of the "Letter of Assignment" which has empowered the Debt Collection Agency. they will of course not be able to produce one as legally this is not a debt (and if such a letter had been produced you would have received it and liability issues would have changed dramatically - but that is merely academic).
Or visit the Law Faculty and ask the professor (Stuart Bell I think) the same questions.0 -
Thanks for the advice. - all I have done for the moment is sent a letter appointing myself as the representative instead of the cars owner without admitting who was driving the car.0

Hi,
What was the verdict on this?
Is it fraudulent?? Surely the fact that it says CPN, not PCN means it's ok?
Cheers.0 -

hi
what happened please re the ticket?
has anyone else had one and ignored it?
we are being told debt collectors will be instructed if we don't pay ours.
thanks0 -
Ignore, ignore, ignore.
Definitive legal advice
Never buy a parking ticket in the first place [unless it's the last spot].
Ignore everything.
Never ever pay a charge, invoice or fine.
Happy days!!!Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why then you're as thick and stupid as the moderators on here - MSE ForumTeam0 -

Have you ever successfully ignored an actual fine, ie council or police? If so can you let us in on your secret?0 -
Not seen this before. That paperwork is truly shocking.0
