    Hi
    i have received a ticket from TPS saying my vehicle was incorrectly parked for 1 minute!
    i was not driving the vehicle and have written back saying that is the case and that I do now know who was driving at the time
    now they are on about civil proceedings in the court??

    is this another case for ignoring their threat letters?

    thanks all

    Yes, but you will get a bit more harassment now you have fallen for it.
    They have no legal basis for the charge, its an unlawful penalty.
    IGNORE
    Dont be pulled in to arguments, thats how the scam works

    You should of ignored them from the outset.

    Having any contact only encourages them, they spout silly legal mumbo jumbo to try and intimidate people, it is all codswallop simply ignore everything from now on!

    As if often the case - but it doesn't mean you have to take such a letter seriously. And you still seemed unsure even though you posted on a random 2 month old thread with clear advice about this scam.

    Did you realise there's a whole current forum here, full of queries like yours answered a hundred times every month?!

    See my signature, click just one click and you are looking at the current forum. Read the second to top thread 'PPC letters & threats' and watch the Watchdog clip there & check out your letter-chain in advance.

    Please read the thread I mentioned. :)
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
