Parking ticket from VCS

Hiya,

I'm a new member to this forum and have been reading through the stickys at the top of the page to see if it can answer my question.
I got a parking ticket from vcs on saturday night, down a private road at 10.30 at night. I was parked for 30mins and they have charged me £80 which I think is completely wrong as there were no double yellow lines and the signs weren't particularly well illuminated.

I have obviously read through other experiences and from what I can tell is the best tactic to ignore ignore ignore? They don't know who the driver was and I was wondering shall I just ignore this and not tell them and can I just expect a barrage of letters and notices?

Anyway all help would be much appreciated,

Regards

    You have answered your own question. Just ignore them. It's as simple as that.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    Stop and think for a moment what damages the landowner would have suffered for your trespass onto his/her private road that late at night. It would be zero. Ignore VCS and their pet debt collectors, read this thread - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2214803 to see what letters you will most likely get and play snap

    Car parking management at its best?? 10.30 at night a quite road there must be a lot of abuse going on! Or is it a nice little earner?

    Anyway ignore VCS and their silly colourful letters!
