    The advice on this website about writing or e.mailing is incredulously poor and needs revising immediately,
    It based upon dealing with reasonable honest people, you can not do that with thieves, crooks, liars and fraudsters that are responsible for such scams.

    You have not been given a parking ticket or a fine:
    From a legal prospective what you have been given is an "invitation to pay a private invoice".
    You are legally within your rights to reject the invitation and keep your money:
    What will happen is they will buy your private data from DVLA and send a series of menacing letters threatening to take you to court and then more letters from fake debt collectors and fake solicitors again all threatening to take you to court.
    They will not take you to court as legally they have no power to fine you or charge you a penalty.
    In short it is a scam of impersonation of officialdom and empty threats.
    HOW TO DEAL:
    IGNORE everything, ignore all letters, ignore all fake solicitors letters and ignore all fake debt collectors.
    They will get fed up and move on to another victim.
    IGNORE Means exactly that IGNORE, you do not appeal, there is no appeal it is part of the scam, you do not bite back, do not write or do anything to correspond and they will go away, if they call your telephone, do not confirm any information place the handset down and leave it of the hook for ten minutes .
    BE WARNED evidence on these and other forums clearly describes how people who do pay these hoping they go away receive further demands for more money, often several hundreds of pounds.



    Just to add, these parking scams rely on giving you something to pull at, they know some people just can not resist trying to be proved right and if you step back calm down you will see that what you are actually standing in is a very cleverly thought out trap designed to get you to take the obvious bait on the floor, they have had thousands of attempts and perfecting the trap and perfecting the bait, so you think you have spotted a flaw, a loop hole, something wrong in the singe when in fact what you have seen is what they have left out for you to see and by the time you realise you have been hooked you are well in to a dialogue with them.
    Knowing that they have a live fish on the hook is 99% of the scam, but if you ignore them they dont know who you are from adam yes they have the keepers details but the driver is responsible and you do not have to correspond and give them any information, for all they know fred blogs details supplied by DVLA could be the local crown court Judge, senior police officer or local bone crunching no neck thug waiting to dish out some instant justice.
    If you pull them up over signs, you are admitting reading them and making contract !
    So stop zoom out and have a look at what this line you have found to pull is connected to.... A very large hook that will end up in your backside if you pull on it.
    Hope This helps mark
