Parking fine photo's

Hello All

As per my last post regarding parking fine from Morrissons for staying over 3 hours in th carpark.
The debt collecting company phoned my house (cheeky?)and spoke to my husband leaving a message for me to ring. I did not know who they were so phoned the number and was told I now owe £115.00 for my overstay.
They have since sent me photographs of my car and my number plate but no times. It seems I was 17 minutes over the time allowed.
I have looked out receipts that say I was there at the beginning of the time and another at the end of the time I was actually there! I bought something a Morrisons 15 minutes before they say I left, I cant remember what delayed me by 15 minutes getting to my car.

What should I do? I am tempted to send proof of my shopping there but really want to ignore them. I wouldn't mind paying £10 for the time I was over but £70 then rising to £115 seems a bit much when I was actually shopping there.

If I offer £10 and they take me to court are they being unreasonable.

If they hadn't phoned my house I probably would have been happy to ignore them but I dont know if I still should now that I have proof and have spoken to them,

Please try the be kind in your replies and thanks

You just ignore, it's as simple as that. do not contact them again and ignore all correspond from them. If they do ring again tell them you will report them for harassment. So they have some pretty pictures of your car, so what? They have to go after the driver and not the registered keeper. Those pictures will not show who the driver was. By the way, it's not a "fine", it's an invoice.

Yes! I blame it on my spell-check. I've now corrected it.

The title of this thread is incorrect as there has not been and will not be any fine imposed.

You ask "What should I do?"

The answer.

Ignore the scum, have no contact with the scum, do not engage in any form of dialogue, whether verbal or written with the scum.

If they contact you again, tell them the debt is expressly denied and to pass it back to the ppc, if they don't they are breaking the law, inform them that their call is being recorded for training purposes and you are logging calls by them, then hang up! If they call again report them to the police for harassment.
