    Do not pay
    Do not appeal
    Do not contact them at all.

    It's not a PCN, its just an invoice. See this thread for the letters you will receive.
    Debt collectors are not bailiffs, and have no power to do anything other than beg for money.
    Ignore them and they will eventually go away.
  • Take the wise words of advice from Sir Roger. These 'fines' have NO legal validity.
    Still waiting for Parking Eye to send the court summons! Make my day!
