Real or Fake Parking Fine?

A mate recieved it in the post today from Civil Enforcement Ltd requesting payment. I've read other posts on this forum about the same company. Any advice?

It's a free delivery of toilet paper - although I personally find Andrex much more pleasant.

I see the cheeky bar stewards even ask for £10 for a copy of the "evidence".


I like the picture of the "scales of justice" on the form. Is that sort sort of ruse to make it look like an official court document?


Just tell your mate to ignore it and any subsequent threatening letters.

if so i`d be tempted to give some abuse down the phone

It doesn't even say what the invoice is for.

What was the "contravention" ?

What a load of billshut. Tell your mate to ignore it.

Make sure your mate doesn't waver when he gets letters in the coming weeks and months from 'debt collectors' and 'solicitors' - it is all part of the scam. Nothing will happen.

Whatever he does, he should not enter into any correspondence at all. It's important not to give the PPC the ammo of knowing who the driver was. Any photo will only be of the car, it means nothing.

Hope he understands it's a scam, I would hate to think how many hapless victims actually pay these demands thinking they are official in some way. :mad:

Did you really need to ask?

If there is no registered company address and registration number on their invoice then report them to companies house for breaching companies act 2006

And why does it have an address in Liverpool, but a nottingham telephone number?
