private parking ticket

bettyboo33

Hi, I got a parking ticket from Car Parking Partnership and after reading this site I ignored it. I've now received an invoice and I was about to send a letter (using one of the templates) telling them I'm not going to pay but after reading all these blogs it just says to ignore. Should I send the letter or just ignore it? thanks

Ignore it. No need to write to them as they will simply keep sending you the threat-o-grams anyway.

thanks, these invoices do look pretty convincing!

Ignore it, ignore them, let them use up their stamps, that's what I'm doing in the same position.
They are only interested in letters if they have a cheque!!

You mean they are embellished with Battenburg markings (chequered police-style borders) and within the frame lie the words "LEGAL ACTION PENDING" in jet black print?

The choice is yours. If you ignore, you'll receive a few more before they cut their losses and capitulate; if you reply, you can have plenty of fun with them so long as you don't go off your head and pay them!!!

Use the same tactics, decorate your letter in black and white squares; advise them to quote a reference number when they reply to you, and to include a stamped addressed envelope. Tell them that future correspondences are charged at £300 per mail and inform them that any letter sent destitute of the fee will be in breach of contract and subsequently considered harassment (for which you can nail them legally) and tell them "DO NOT WRITE TO ME UNLESS YOU AGREE TO THE ABOVE CONDITIONS". Just remind them (the PPC this is) that as they are at the helm of this sorry campaign, the conditions apply to any party acting on their behalf. If you violated anyone's terms, the minute you are sent a letter then they have breached yours too and you are in the lead should the case go to court. But it won't, they are bound by Contract Law and its Unfair Contract Terms Act and so are you for that matter...but how nice that they know you mean business!

The wording would be better if CPP were advised that any further letters from them would be indicative of their full acceptance of the OP's terms and conditions rather than the suggestion above. :cool:

I believe its easier to file the letters under nonsense, and ignore them. Engaging in any correspondence with them just encourages their nonsense.

Of course. I was simply presenting an outline. This is something I haven't done yet but come such a time I feel I need to, believe me it will look so genuine that people will think Police tickets are fake!!! :rotfl:

But concerning the remark above this one, it is true that the way to expend the least effort is indeed to ignore. This is why I said to the OP - it's her choice. Ignore, or have fun, but DON'T pay!

muckybutt

How on earth could you justify a charge for a letter of £300 ?....you could'nt ..... ever !

Honestly if I were them and saw that id laugh my socks off :rotfl:make it more realistic and it might get you somewhere if it ever went to court but £300 is just plain stoopid
