IGNORE THEM. Its as simple as that, they will continue to send you a few letters but they'll give up.
Even though they might mention court - debt collectors - ccj's etc none of those happen in real life, not with these sort of tickets.
MOST IMPORTANT THOUGH DO NOT CONTACT THEMYou may click thanks if you found my advice useful0 -
I your employer uses the services of a PPC you might want to point out to your employer the type of industry and cowboys they are supporting.All aboard the Gus Bus !0

Take it from us they wont "come banging on your door". Please don't confuse debt collectors with bailiffs. The former are just private citizens with no special powers. They can't enter your property, they cannot seize goods and they cannot blacken your credit record. In the very unlikely event they do turn up you can tell them to go away or you will call the police.
Bailiffs (who are "officers of the court") only come on the scene after a court case. This will never happen.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -

It wont happen that would cost them money. All you will get is a few letters full of mumbo jumbo.
Look here at what to expect!

Even if the company sending you these demands is not there, they all work in the same way!
As advised simply ignore them! Their chancer's don't fall for their little game!0 -
As others have said, house calls don't happen re private parking charge notices. Debt collectors are not bailiffs and there's no credit agreement to enforce, nothing that can possibly affect your credit rating at all.
Click on the links already given, see which letters you may receive next, show your wife and laugh as each predicted letter arrives. I have gone through a similar letter-series myself, over 2 years ago, and I just laughed at them and have tried hard to collect more of these fake PCNs ever since (to no avail...yet). The letters are just designed to scare you - but you owe nothing.
Resist the urge to contact them, do not give them any information at all.
Here's Watchdog's legal expert's view, show your wife:

PPCs almost always get the registered keeper's details from the DVLA so it's hardly a surprise that you've started to receive the usual letters. Nothing to get excited about though.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Trust the advice you have been given in here and ignore them. Eventually they will crawl back underneath the stones from which they emerged.0
