Central Ticketing invoice - next steps?

snaffleberry

Hi

I live in a private block of flats that is operated by Central ticketing

I received a ticket in the 2nd week of December for not displaying a valid ticket. I always leave the dates blank on my paper visitors permit (that i'm required to keep photocopying)as I was told before by ticket operators this was not an issue, and have left my car dozens of times with a paper permit with no dates/expired dates without an issue.

I rather wish we had looked at this forum next; any hows my girlfriend sent an appeal letter to central ticketing, for which we have just received the reply back saying appeal rejected; pay the fine. In the letter, my partner admitted who that car is registered to (i.e. me), so they now have our address details, and also proof of who the car is registered to.

I've read the dozens of posts, and am inclined as per advice to ignore all invoices. However, the fact that in her haste, my partner has admitted who the vehicle owner is and where we live (i.e. where in the block of flats) concerns me.

What should I do next? Do I take it still hold firm and don't pay?

Thanks

Keep ignoring.

We have never heard of Central Ticketing EVER actually taking anyone at all to Court. Like 99% of PPCs they never chance their arm, just relying on threats and the appearance of a legitimate PCN. Which it is NOT.

All you will get is the usual letter-chain now, shown in our top thread on the board.

All you've done is saved them paying out the £2.50 to get the registered keeper's details from the DVLA.

Total loss to the landowner is zero, just ignore everything unless in the very very unlikely case of getting sent proper court documents, and the chances of that happening is less than the chance of the balls in the next lottery draw coming out of the machine 1-2-3-4-5-6-7.

Which is very unlikely as only 6 numbers are drawn

All youe girlfriend has done is save the Scammers £2.50 by telling them who the Registered keepers is, as this is what it costs them to get the details from DVLA.

They need to prove who was driving and that contract was entered in to.......blah, blah, blah.

As Coups said above, just ignore.

The 7 is the bonus ball

Hard though many find it to believe ,the mathematical probability of the lottery numbers coming out 1,2,3,4,5,6 and bonus ball 7 is the same as any other combination of the lottery numbers.

I know, but it is better odds than the odds that a PPC will take you to court and successfully win a defended case

And in no lottery ever in the world have 6 consecutive numbers been drawn (in any permutation)

even so the odds are exactly the same as any other random sequence of numbers .

no argument from me there. Of course, 1-2-3-4-5-6 is the most popular pick of numbers so even if they did come up, you'd win sweet FA
