Central Ticketing, Roxburghe & Graham Whites

annetom

Hi All

Anyone can help with some advice on parking fine by central ticketing, Roxburghe and Graham White soliciters.

Basically i received a notice to registered keeper from Roxburghe debt collectors on the 9th Nov for payment of £107 for non payment of parking fine from offence on 7/9/10 at East Kilbride olympia shopping centre car park. This was the first i was aware of any such offence. Having checked my works diary i was in the said car park that day and at the time stated but did not receive any fine and wouldn't have expected one as paid ticket as always do (unfortunately no longer have the tickets to use as evidence) I phoned Roxburghe and spoke to one of their agents who stated that they had a photo of out of time ticket and as i had failed to pay original fine issuesd by central ticketing it had been passed to them to chase, with them adding on their costs. I stated that i had never received any original notice of offence so didn't have the opportunity to appeal or pay fine. The agent claimed that is not their fault and i must pay or be taken to court. I requested and was promised photo of timed out ticket but not received yet 7 days later. I have subsequently received a letter of intended legal action from Graham Whites threatening small claims court action and the threat of payment required doubling to meet costs of such action and also credit rating being affected. I have sent them a letter stating the fact i never received any original fine notice and have requested they reconsider, i have also sent a letter to central ticketing requesting they send me a print from the CCTV of the ticket being issued and me accepting it.

Having now read some previous posts i realise how crooked these people are and the fact that private car parks have no legal right to pursue un-paid fines but i would very much appreciate any feedback on my situ.

Thanks

Just ignore, it's as simple as that.

Stop writing to them, roxburghe and graham white are the same people, they never ever ever ever ever go to court, they are trying to scare you to pay, they turn down ALL appeals as its NOT independent , just live your life and completely ignore any letters you receive, please read the sticky thread above saying what to expect graham white/roxburghe are there

Have a look for your thread here, you'll see it sits among others about the same thing! Read up on other people's experiences and you will be certain you are OK to ignore this scam:

The top (or second top) sticky thread 'PPC letters & scams, what to expect' is useful as it shows you the whole threatogram standard letter-chain that you are in the middle of at the moment. You can see which letter will come next, how exciting (not!). It is just standard computer-generated letters.

You will also find a link to a youtube video of Watchdog in May where a legal expert showed Anne Robinson that it's safe to make fake PCNs like this into paper aeroplanes.

Sadly as you initially fell for their story and spoke to Roxburghe they will now have your phone number on their system so they will probably target you for harassing phone calls as well.

See other threads on phone calls from PPC debt collectors to see how to handle these annoying low-life debt collector call centres. It will all be over soon so don't worry about it at all even when they lie on the phone and say they are Graham White solicitors (which they are not, they are Roxburghe as you'll see in other replies on other threads on the board).
