    Keep ignoring (if it's a private parking ticket).
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    I believe that Whyte & Co are a company of debt collectors who collect on behalf of local authorities. You should check what it is they are claiming.

    Does it give the name of the company Whyte & co think they are collecting for?

    As for ignoring it,the only thing Whyte &Co can do is ask you to pay. No more then that!

    Whyte & Co seem to have picked a few of these unsubstantiated debts up lately. You would think with the economy the way it is they would have enough legitimate debts to try and recover.

    You may receive a few letters from them then they will almost certainly go pester someone else.

    I stand to be corrected but I don't think Town & City have ever been near a county court to test a case!:cool:

    Town & Sh1tty = IGNORE!
  • I've received a similar letter(s) from Whyte & Co and would just like some re-assurance that ignoring them is the right thing to do... It's the 3rd letter I've received and it basically says if I dont pay within 5 days they must "recommend that recovery proceedings be escalated" and saying I may go to court and/or baliffs may be issued. They are collection on behalf of Town and City so am I right to assume that I should continue ignoring?
