  • Yes just ignore. Roxburghe are toothless muppets. Expect a couple of letters from Graham White "solicitors" [actually the same people as Roxburghe] then they will give up.

    Yes thank you, I have made more research on this and am absolutely confident now about it! :cool:
  • Just received similar letter...did it all turn out ok for you...

    Are you sure I can just ignore it?

    Thanks for your help

    best

    Yes you can. These numpties do not do court. Ever.
  • My husband has just received a letter from Roxburghe debt collectors for entry into a bus lane at Luton Airport. Judging by all the comments will we be safe to just ignore the demand for £121.12?

    See all above.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
  • I have recieved a letter from Roxburghe on the 15/12 after ignoring the initial letter from Apoca. I will carry on ignoring any letters but I'm wondering if they have ever taken anyone to court?

    They are looking for £121.12

    The reason drivers are getting fined at Luton airport is because they are stopping on a roundabout to either pick up or drop off passengers when the drop off area is only 30m away.

    I have seen with my own eyes families getting out and going to the boot to get their luggage and nothing can get past while they say their goodbyes. This is an incredibly stupid thing to do. Not only is it dangerous but it holds up traffic. I have no sympathy so pay up as there are enough warning signs.

    There are always going to be irresponsible people driving, so your lack of sympathy is not relevant when we are talking PPCs issuing invoices, they should be completely ignored. Sorry this company are there to make profit only, they have no regard to safety, we have had people invoiced at this airport who were in a traffic jam, do you have sympathy for them, should they pay?
    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?

    This comment assumes that everyone who has been issued with invoices was similarly ignorant. What smjxm09 has probably done is to leap to judgement, not that that is uncommon these days, rather than exploring the issue a little further so that they became sufficiently informed that they realised that they too could just as easily be scooped up in this money-making scheme.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    So the people here were not dropping or picking up passengers on the roundabout or in the bus lane which is also on the roundabout. I think you will find that there is photographic evidence to say otherwise. Would you stop on your local town centre roundabout to pick up passengers? Don't think so


    Whether these people pay the fine or not it will have the desired effect as they won’t be doing it again.
