P C N from Excel parking with ANPR

You have not been given a parking ticket or a fine:
From a legal prospective what you have been given is an "invitation to pay a private invoice".
You are legally within your rights to reject the invitation and keep your money:
What will happen is they will buy your private data from DVLA and send a series of menacing letters threatening to take you to court and then more letters from fake debt collectors and fake solicitors again all threatening to take you to court.
They will not take you to court as legally they have no power to fine you or charge you a penalty.
In short it is a scam of impersonation and threats.
HOW TO DEAL:
IGNORE everything, ignore all letters, ignore all fake solicitors letters and ignore all fake debt collectors.
They will get fed up and move on to another victim.
IGNORE Means exactly that IGNORE, you do not appeal, there is no appeal it is part of the scam, you do not bite back, do not write or do anything to correspond and they will go away, if they call your telephone, do not confirm any information place the handset down and leave it off the hook for ten minutes .
BE WARNED evidence on these and other forums clearly describes how people who do pay these hoping they go away receive further demands for more money, often several hundreds of pounds.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Excel are toothless dogs, they don't have the courage to take anybody to court anymore after getting hammered the last time out.0

thought I had heard the last of excel, just received another letter today saying court action will commence in 10 days, and I have a 'last chance' to pay a reduced rate of £500

If you wait 11 days it will reduce down to £0.00
just ignore them they are getting desperate for money. Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?0 -
We're seeing a lot of old cases being resurrected. I suspect that they're desperate for money and/or space in the "unpaid" filing cabinet drawer.The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.

And soon it will be £00
