    Neither of the threads you have added to are the right place for a new question. You should find this post gets moved to a new thread soon, which is where you needed to put it.

    But if it was a Private Parking Charge Notice then just ignore the scammers.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    The very fact they reduce it by 50% smacks of their desperation. We widely suggest ignoring these companies I believe that is the best approach.
