    Thanks taffy - I take it you have first hand experience!

    I'm from Swansea and always park there, never been ticketed there though, but I quite often go to the cinema and then go shopping, and that takes me well over the time limit they state, but since I was booked down the Mumbles and remembered about this site saying not to pay the scammers I come here to help people when I can, and of course get help myself ;)

    And I know its not council owned because, it was sold recently to the people below.

    Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
    They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?
  • Thanks for the info. I always thought Parc Tawe was council owned - but I'm glad it's not!
  • I have just recived a fine for over staying in Parc Tawe for £60.
    I have read to just igonre them and they will stop.
    How long will it go on for and how many letters will you get.

    It's not a fine, just an unenforceable invoice. It may go on for a few months and with a handful of letters, but there is nothing to worry about.

    Ignore them

    The threats made in there letters are never carried out and it's no way a legal fine, it just simply isn't a 'Fine' either.

    They have no law on there side, no courts would entertain it

    Do not pay, throw the letter a way or use it to make a paper air plane and forget all about them, there nothing to worry about OP

    Also, you will often get around 3 letters from the company themselves and around 2-3 letters from people claiming to be from all sorts, Solicitors, Debt Enforcement companies and so on, ignore thema ll and they will go away and get bored in the end.

    Your credit rating will NOT be affected either whatever they claim in there fake letters, as no credit agreement was signed or agreed.

    IGNORE

    When even the newspapers and the BBC persist in using that "f" word, we still have a battle to educate people about the true nature of these charges.
