    When one pays up it is like adding fuel to the fire; you only encourage them; also like giving money to blackmailers.
    It propogates the scam; that's all it is; and if you think of it as a con trick; a game of bluff, then you will sleep at night and then you can get on with your life.

    The demons of doubt and anxiety, may haunt you; but you will be a better and stronger person who will more likely succeed in your studies at pilot training with knowledge that you can deal with these demons. After all, that's what makes for a good pilot. Think about it.
    If it moves; sue it!

    Oh no I have a "FINAL NOTICE" from Parking Eye with a big black border upto £110 -I'm running out of drawing pins so will have to start throwing their rubbish in the bin.

    One advantage on pinnig all this crap up by my desk at work, is people ask why & it manages to get the message circulated even further about these xxxxx

    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Thanks for all the replies guys! I have read the websire all before but each time they send a letter I do get a little worried. I also have my girlfriend and parents having a go at me for not paying!
    But screw them! I will use these letters as fire starters next week. If they phone me I'll hang up, and I'll continue to ignore them! If they ever take me to court I'll come back for help!

    Thanks guys!

    good man, that benish guy. mildly panicked by the scammers, came on here to be jolted back into reality.

    your next mission, benish - if you choose to accept it - is to educate your friends/family.

    Hi guys! Just an update, I HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF PAYING UP!!!

    After 5 months of hearing nothing about the fine, I got a voicemail from Roxburghe yesterday telling me to contact them urgently.
    I thought it is usually GW who do the calling and pretending to be Roxburghe.

    Anyway, so if they call again I just ignore, say no comment, shout at them, go silent, say the debt is denied etc etc I preseume?!

    Thanks
